Sainsbury's offers

Went shopping in Sainsbury's this morning and bagged myself quite a few bargains. 25% Tu clothing but the best one was to buy 2 stickered CD's (they are chart ones) and in return get a free Itunes card free. The CD's cost £9.97 each so spent £19.94 and got bonus £15 pressie in return.
Other big bargain was Brooks frozen whole leg of lamb for £1.75! Original price was £6.99. The weight is 1.7kg. Lots of other 1/2 price bargains in frozen foods, especially birds eye. In total, I spent £69.60, saved £31.98 plus another £3 off diesel when I buy it. Not bad!0 -
No WallE laptops or any Ben10 stuff left at Colton, Leeds - shame as would have liked those.
Still managed to spend £45 on Christmas and birthday presents for my kids, nieces and friends' children though. Some things I got are:
* Disney Princess dolls - £2.47
* Play tool set with storage box/stool - £3.49
* Lovely newborn plush my first bears (perfect for nappy cakes) - £1.49
* Little matchbox vehicles (perfect for larger advent calendars) - 29p
* Fisher Price chatter phone - £2.49
* Disney Princess & horse toy - £3.49
* Barbie Pet toy - £2.49
* Remote controlled flip-top car - £2.49
* Fire station vehicle play set - £2.49
* Playmobil pirate gang set - £6.490 -

Hi,
I got some great bargains as well from Tamworth. I did pick up 2 wall-e computers, but when I turned one on it didn't seem very good so I put them back?? Have I missed out? Never mind, got some lovely Peppa Pig stuff, Charlie and Lola, HSM karaoke microphone for £15, which plugs into the TV and you sing along with the cast or by yourself - DD will love it! Diego rescuepack set - £7.50 I think. Just need 'My first scalextric(sp?) - which Sainsburys don't sell - if anyone knows of a good offer on that one?0 -
