Just had to add on here that I noticed something very odd in Tesco's last night!

I thought I'd treat myself to a bottle of coke (last of the big spenders), noting that they were buy 2 for £2.30.

However I thought I'd have a little look to see what own brand stuff sold for, and on the bottom shelf (Eyes down for a bargain!) was Pepsi Cola for 68p for 2 litres!

So whilst they're tricking everyone with Coca Cola on 2 for £2.30 (individually it's £1.36) saving you 42p (if my maths serves me right!) you could get 4 bottles of Pepsi for the price of 2 bottles of coca cola (give or take a few pence!)

I was actually more impressed at myself for being more aware than I thought I was! May get some more Pepsi while its that price to last me

Tastes pretty much the same anyway

They often do this when there's a big promotion on. Normally though they try to make their own brand seem cheaper, despite the fact that the brand-name promotion has made it the cheapest.

Well I've just managed to buy some in "InStore" which apparently is PoundStretcher (when did that happen? )

CAFCGirl

living in a "likes to think its posh area" we dont have any shops like that anywhere round here.

God darn it........... have been hoping in vain that wilkinsons might get some but no avail.

On that note am having super day of household chores, done the washing up after my breakfast, two loads of washing, done the hoovering and fed the now big fat rabbit! Oh and I've watered my flower and herb pots too

Feel all warm and fuzzy inside

OH MY GIDDY AUNT!

THE GODS OF MSE ARE SMILING ON ME!

I found Stardrops!

Which is really freaky considering the previous posts, left the house to get some sawdust for rabbit and there it was, shining like a beacon on the bottom shelf in wilko!!!!

Could this be a sign!?

Now it's off to read the stardrops thread to find out what you can do with it.

Except you've been an absolute heroine and already done your chores...

CAFCGirl

As any householder knows................. there are always more jobs!

Is it wrong that I now want to find them so I can use the wonder that is stardrops?
