have a feeling not many places will do a 32 c or smaller if Mr T don't


B-and-M Bargains. They're a discount chain. Closest used to mean a special trip out, but they took over the site of our local C00p when that closed so I now have one in easy walking distance (slightly closer than work )

Hi Cheryl, Pr*mark do their 'up top' sports undies for us ladies that don't require quite such secure 'boudler holders' in a 32B (think they do down to 32A in some styles) and upwards, so you should find a 32C in there. (yep...my little ones only require a 32B to keep them jiggling out of place :rotfl:)

We deff don't have a B-and-M Bargains 'down here' darn it, sounds great for a nose-a-round too.

Hope you're all having a good sunday - been a real lazy one for me so far. Thinking about tackling the ironing early on but I might make a cuppa first while I mull over that idea :rotfl::rotfl: (or Nargle, just pass the voddy you've been on this morning )


...ohhhh, just checked BM Stores store locator...there is one right near my OH parents in Glasgow (in definite 'I'm just popping to the shop while the dinner cooks' distance)....might just have to nip in while we're visiting later in the month ... :whistle:

Good afternoon everyone!

I collected my first NSD of the month on Friday, unfortunately I was out with friends yesterday, and today is 'weekly food shop' day so no more NSDs this weekend but at least I'm off the mark with 1 NSD!

Good luck collecting October NSDs everyone!

Spoon - I'm showing as pledging 18 on the front page - any chance you could change it to my lucky 19? Thank you!

Have a good rest of the weekend everyone!

Grooooaaaaaannnnnn :rotfl:




Declaring today as NSD #1 - though it's actually a Negative Spend Day for me :T

When updating my s/sheet from my receipts last night I spotted that the till operator had put my red grapes through as green grapes - and I wasn't impressed as I much prefer green but went for the red as they were cheaper :mad:

Dragged myself off my backside and up to the gym earlier, which is on the same complex as the Mr T.... wouldn't have gone back just for the overcharge as it means using the car, but it was really only this 'little matter' that finally convinced me to go to the gym

So I took the grapes and the receipt with me and called in there first. The first lady I spoke to on customer services offered to go and get me some green ones so I could swap them..... no thanks, I'd like the difference in price back. So she then offered to refund me the full charge and retain the grapes.... no thanks, I still want them but at the correct price. So she handed me over to a more senior/experienced member of staff who still wasn't sure what to do as they don't have scales at customer services to calculate the correct price..... excuse me, that's what a calculator's for when you know the correct price as the weight is on the receipt. So in the end she refunded the £1.40 I'd been charged (instead of the 21p overcharge - I'd calculated the correct price to be £1.19 before heading up) and gave me the grapes 'for my inconvenience'

Hi, can I join in this month - a bit late but I only just found this thread! I think I'm going to start off with 10 days and see how I go, although I'm hoping that it will be more than that. I'm not counting my transport costs to work as that is an essential spend or my DD's. I'm not so great at groceries and want to try and be more organised when it comes to shopping and have been trying to use up what I've got first.

Come on in Ashbash, we don't bite! Spoon (aka solventsoon) will be back later to add you to the list. Look on the Old style Moneysaving forum for ideas on stretching the grocery budget, and I am sure you will pick up lots of tips from some of the chaps and chappesses on here.

Yes, Spoon, this will definitely be my second NSD as it is still chucking it down out there. Not a bad start at all!

My first NSD to report here. This was mainly due to the terrible weather that we've had and I haven't ventured outside and I don't think I will!
