    Walk away my dear. Take the control back.
    I know these vouchers are tempting but you'll save £18 if you don't add anything. Are you going to save that much on petrol?
    Unless you'll need some non-perishables later in the month.

    i don't either mumzy, unless it says on that thread that there are good money off coupons....ie) the daily mail costs 50p and sometimes you can get coupons in there worth £2-3, so its worth buying 2 or 3 newspapers just for the coupons, if you see what i mean xx

    ahh i will look at that thread tomorrow :) Thankyou

    Hi everyone :hello:

    I just had my first MrT delivery of the month. Total came to £65.16 after deducting MOCs and promotional savings (got £19.33 off :))

    I'm gonna try really hard to only buy fridge stuff for the rest of the month as my cupboards and freezer are really full. Here's what I've got in :o :

    freezer
    chicken breasts 1.5bags 4meals, southern fried chicken steaks x4 2meals
    cod portions x8 4meals, salmon portions x2 1meal
    steak mince 2x500g 6meals, lamb mince 2x500g 6meals, pork mince 500g 3meals
    HM chicken casserole 1meal, HM pork & bean casserole 1meal, HM meatballs 1meal
    Frozen sweetcorn, petit pois, broccoli, mixed veg, 5x200g chick peas(soaked and cooked), oven chips, pitta bread, tortilla dough balls, breadx2
    Total 29 meals (for 3)

    tins
    6x HL baked beans, 4x heinz baked beans (was 48p for 4 with voucher), 1x cannelini beans, 2x kidney beans, 6x chopped tomatoes, 2x mushy peas, 2x sliced carrrots, 3x new potatoes
    3x corned beef (got @ half price), 2x hotdogs (half price), 12x tuna in spring water (half price @ the mo)
    1x chicken condensed soup, 1x tomato condensed soup, 3x passata (cartons)
    2x custard, 2x rice pudding, 2x peach slices, 1x pear halves, 1x pineapple rings

    dry goods
    18KG rice & pasta (long grain /basmati /penne /fusilli /macaroni /lasagne sheets /cous cous /noodles)
    12KG flour (cornflour /SR /plain /bread)
    7KG sugar (granulated / caster / icing / demerara /soft brown)
    cereal (weetabix /rice crispies / crunchy nut /oats)

    So for the rest of the month I wont buy anymore freezer/dry/tinned stuff until I get stocks down a bit. (Fingers crossed)

    Nikki
