I always check the labels. The bigger Morrisons ones (2 for £3) say you can freeze them, and it was one of those I got yesterday. Same with the smaller ones, but the ones from the Deli don't say if they're freezable, so I tend to buy them only if I'm going to eat them same-day.

Really must go and eat breakfast now, I'm starving!!

What I don't do, is harrass the staff into reducing things for me. It's bad in my local Tesco for that. They barely get time to put things on the shelves

I would never harrass the staff and I don't think I have ever seen anyone at Morrisons doing that either. I'd be far too embarrassed!!

I love whoopsies too, and this is good to hear.... In my shop, a colleague was actually shoved to the floor by two customers fighting over one joint of beef:mad: needless to say I took great pleasure banning both of them from the store:rotfl: I appreciate the desire for a bargain, but that was one step too far!

I must congratulate you on a very good grocery spend! I love the whoopsies sections too, it just upsets me that my freezer is too small to take advantage of all the bargains and batch cooking I could do! (to the point that I actually considered buying a new fridge freezer from additions at 39.9% apr to accomodate bargains before I mentally slapped myself round the face:o)

FF did you know that Tesco do their vitamin E facewipes for just 27p? They are miles better than the no7 ones in my opinion, and you could get six packets for the cost the reduced ones and still have a snowie left to spend on other stuff!

Hope you enjoyed your sausage breakfast!

Replying to your points in order:

1. Jeez at the thought of 39.9% :eek: You should keep an eye on the Freecycle/Gumtree for your area. We ended up just buying a second freezer, and I'm going to have to be using it now that my grocery budget is £100 less per month than it was this time last year.

2. I'll keep an eye out for those ones in Tesco, but I reckon I still saved money as if I went to Tesco just for facewipes I would come out with about £20 of groceries :rotfl:

3. Om nom nom - sausages are goooooooood!

Well done on the whoopsie stuff, I got Kenco refills last week in Tesco for £1.79 each, but they are on offer in Asda at the moment. Its the only coffee I drink, gave up Nescafe when there was a scandal in the 80's and never went back to it!
I had the same problem with freezer, mine was too small. Saw one in local recycling centre for £75 and was about to get it, when one came up on Freegle. Small chest freezer, so ideal for bulk buys and things I don't need to get to often. Only got it yesterday so still trying to organise it.

I need to find what it is about quiche that means you can or can't freeze it as made one last week out of bits of stuff left over in fridge, but it was far too much for one, and I got fed up eating it. Maybe its the cream?

Hi Flying_Fresian

CONGRATULATIONS! On paying off 50% of your debt - that is a fantastic achievement!

I love whoopsies too - due to shifts I don't manage to pick up alot of these but over the last few weeks I managed to get some goodies in M&S and am always delighted with the savings I make.

Hope you sell lots of your things on e-bay tomorrow.

Take Care
