    I used to use RISI a lot, but found it was cheaper to buy from charity shops than pay the postage.

    You look at your colleagues as if they've gone mad when they bring a microwave ready meal in for lunch......

    You never buy a joint of meat without working out how many meals and pints of stock you can get out of it.....

    When you log on to the Internet your first port of call is to the cash back site to see if you can claim any more money from things you purchased through it....
    and your second port of call is MSE!!!
