Sorry to have offended you Angelnikki, I can totally see what you mean.

I'm not sure anyone in my little Tesco even noticed there was a good offer on; there were as many Supercook things on the shelves as ever. There is no notification of the price being 'special', only normal labels with lower prices, I think it is just rebranding of the company to Dr Oetker.
I don't make a habit of stocking up on offers as I don't have anywhere to put anything but I bake cakes and buns for about 10 friends every Sunday and so I got a mixture of stuff, baking cases, peppermint flavouring, hundreds and thousands as this is frivolous stuff for me and I wouldn't normally buy it...

I do know what you mean though and I will be more careful. I would also be more than happy to share the love if you wouldn't mind a rather rattly parcel arriving with you!

Coming on here to confess keeps me strong and the people on here are such a good example - there are some really lovely people on this board.

Borax - Just a thought - for a giggle I looked, and yes, you can buy borax on ebay - item no
380038720549for £1.40 plus £1.75 p&p
Or try https://www.dri-pak.co.uk who will supply you with six boxes of 300g for £12.50 (inc VAT & p&p)
Or try Wilkinsons, it's surprising what you can get there.

Good luck.

Morning all,
Not read through last nights posts yet but hoping to later when DS napping! Just to say I managed an NSD yesterday, after the Tesco spending trip on Monday night!
The hm ciabatta was a real success, yum yum yum. Stew for tea tonight, made with stew that had been cooked a while back and frozen. Just have to add some stock and carrots and onions to it, once its completely defrosted. Will have with tatties and gravy.
Hope everyone has a good MS morning.
Ta ra for now. :wave:
