    I've been Money Tipped!
    The cupboard full of Dolce Gusto coffee pods thanks to Asda's free coupon in their magazine. I have enough boxes to see me through the year.:rotfl:

    Also thanks to the nice Tesco manager a new free iron due to marked as half price and being charged full so double the difference made it free. Also to the nice check out staff that must have taken a good few £100's of money off vouchers from me over the year for free shopping.
