have you ever stocked up on a product being thrifty and gone a bit mad

I have just sent my bf the link to Welshys post to prove that i'm not the only one who's fanatical about hoarding toiletries!! ...although 60 toothbrushes would beat my collection hands down!

Mint source is something I stock up on when on a good offer tho as it's DPs fave.

Netto have jars of mint sauce on special at 10p each at the moment

I don't appear to be as bad as you lot - but you didn't half make me chuckle with all your BOGOF'S.

Only thing I can think of at mo is about 18 months ago, Makro were doing a BOGOF on boneless chicken portions and at the time all my small dog could eat was cooked chicken, OH waited till it reduced because no-one was buying it, so he bought about 10 trays of them which we packed the freezer with. Unfortunately dog died before eating it all

OH is a veggie and I don't really care for it, so we now have about 5 trays of the stuff left and don't know what to do with it. I've not checking it out and I bet it's after it's sellby date now so will have to sling it (so much for SAVING money!)

however, the phrase burning bush seemed quite appropriate for the minty one - never again !

Lmao - well that comment realy made my morning - cheers welshy.

I msut admit the only thing ive bulk brought yet is washign powder - and i got 2 big boxes of the 90 wash stuff - as there is only me, bf and 3 year old babe in the house so not alot of washign going on - especially in the summer - but my washign machine has decided to break again!!!! grrr....................... bloody thing wont drain the water away again.

No idea whats wrong with it

might have a nose round the market today - they are usually pretty good for chicken breasts and crisps etc

I have been stocking up at tescos and this is one fifth of what I have - all the toothbrushes, toothpaste are in the loft, this lot is going to my mum's house:





I have 65 bags worth in the loft which is going to be divided between local charities, myself, family, friends and the school.

My ultimate goal in buying these items was to boost my points and now at over 28,000 I have achieved that - thanks Leadhead.

May be extreme but a new range cooker and fitted kitchen tell me otherwise ! (the points from buying toiletries etc were converted into MFI /tesco deal vouchers)

That really made me laugh.:rotfl: I did actually double check you said OH and not DS. Boys never grow up do they?

Welshy all I can say to your hoard is WOW. But kudos to you for that.

I am going to have to sort my Tesco vouchers out, I have only started using Tesco reguarly since we moved house as I lived next door to an Asda before but I have just been using the vouchers in store for money off my groceries. I keep hearing about using them other places but haven't worked out how you do it yet (that makes me an MSE OS fraud doesn't it?:o ) Do you have to go online to transfer them to other things?
