add the rubbish shampoo that has sat there for months to the hand wash on the assumption if it cleans hair then it must be fine for hands. So far no one has noticed.

My OH NEVER buys his own shampoo. I buy for the two of us but he uses so much of the stuff - despite the fact that he's quickly losing his hair and what's left is cut v-e-r-y short - that his is used up well before mine is and THEN he uses my Colour-care Anti-dandruff stuff :mad:. Consequently I now add any rubbish stuff/leftovers into HIS bottle :j - that'll teach him :rotfl:!

I do the same with shower gel that he also refuses to buy his own of. Decant SmartPrice into his Lynx bottle so he keeps his mitts off mine. Also decanted AsdaOwnBrand Men's shower gel into it when he refused to use it all up - pity I can't do the same with his 6 part-used-tins of OwnBrand deodorant sprays :rolleyes:.

... You are not ashamed to "root through" the over full whoops shelf, forcing everyone out of your way! which takes the same amount of time it takes your partner to get everythign else on the list.
... you ignore the list and swap it for "whoops" stuff, changing all menu plans for the next 2 days


Sounds like a "normal" shop for me. I havent bough ANYTHING non whoopied for the last month (look at the siggy)

When you have 4x16 roll packs of looroll stored under the bed [bought when mr A had promo in summer at £3 pack] and i live on my own!!
When Dsis saves her t bags and gives them to you after a visit as she knows you use yours twice and then composts them.

........... when the whoopsies is your first port-of-call on entering the shop.

........... when you decide that you're not paying THAT much for a whoopsie :eek:, go off checking for bread and fruit/veg reductions then any other shopping on your list.

........... when you go and re-check the whoopsies aisle a second time to see if 'the lady with the gun' has been back yet to re-adjust her prices and choose what you think is a real bargain this time round.

........... when you go through the check-out, pay for your shopping and then go for a quick coffee (and possibly a whoopsied scone) while you double-check your receipt for errors and then, leaving your shopping in the secure lock-up -

........... go back to the whoopsie aisle one last time - just in case there's any more that you may have missed .

omg - I need to get a life!

........... !

Yeah I do that. My local sainburys never seem to reduce cakes and bread much more than 50% off :mad:

I often go round the shop 3 or 4 times and then make a bee-line towards again as I leave the shop.

Freezing as it is today walkin rounds sainsburys and few Items I wanted were dearer then my local aldis, so told kids sorry not paying that and took small detour home to buy itmes from aldis. walking as well..

Quidco gulity of that one, and drive my friends mad with it, but have converted my mum she loves it..

You wait outside in cold waiting for aldis to open so you can buy a 2 litre of milk for less then a 1 pint of milk would cost you in newsagent..

you walk round poundshop and are able to spot the itmes that are dearer in there compared to other shops..

Refuse to buy a item unless you get free p&p and cashback..

Or one I hate now thanks to quidco buying something in a shop knowing if I buy it online using same shop I get cashback, but walk instore I get no cashback.. Wilkinsons hmv etc..

I also mutter to myself when behind someone paying for shopping who has no loyalty card.

Happy and very proud to be a member of MSE..

When you are buying a DVD you check prices on virtually every website you can think of and then work out the price with the quidco cash back.

Then curse amazon because they are the cheapest but not on quidco.

When you manage to convince your DH that you can get so many meals out of a free range chicken that it actually works out cheaper than buying Tesco Value chicken breasts!

(Watched River Cottage the other day and am never buying non-free range chicken ever again.)
