Before the vat increase goes up i need to stock up on dog food and cat food as I have plenty of storage space - so any ideas for cheap cans ( currently try not to pay more than £5 per 12 cans - but if you notice any offers please let me know!)
list to follow
If you know anyone who has a Makro card, they are doing some cat food for £3.25 + VAT for 12 cans (not sure of the name - it's un branded as such) but its in a green labelled can. 4 varieties in Jelly, my cats seemed to like it. Otherwise the orange labelled cans in Jelly that they do in Sainsburys and Tescos (again not sure of the brand - sorry) is often 2 for £10 in Pets at home. Usually £5.27 in supermarket.
Think you can register at Makro as a personal seller - not sure how this works though and if there is a cost...
Hope that is of use

Hi everyone :wave:
Today for me is laundry day! Have 2 massive bags and even if I don't get them all done then I at least need to sort through them to see what I've got where and what can be left for another day.
Also took some chicken out of the freezer - was going to slow cook - but don't think it'll defrost today.
OH is doing the dishes - I've just turned the water off so it's not on for too long.
Wrote some thank you cards - glad they are all 'letter' and not 'large letter'
Small things!
Also trying to get through some wedding prep! https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2520191
Hopefully can get lunches sorted for this week - going to see if there is a save on work lunches thread for October.
Might try to sort a meal plan for this week too - or is that OH's job for tomorrow???;)
Sorry for the waffle and lack of list, just trying to get my head in gear

Morning All :wave:
Gloriously hot and sunny here already, we've just had our morning cuppa in the garden
:D
So today I have/will- checked banking - no surprises
- buy beer and plastic boxes where I've discovered they are the cheapest -these are not linked :rotfl:
- make a worm farm with the boxes for compost

- go to the bottle bank with last weeks beer bottles
- theatre tonight - we love going so a real treat
:D - nice gentle day with OH, trying to persuade him NOT to spend :cool: And we'll enjoy the sunshine
Have a great day everybody :A
Bought the boxes and then looked at Fay's links and redesigned them. And tried unsuccessfully to buy a water butt tap for draining the liquid.
So we've still not constructed the WF, but I'm on the case tomorrow.
Thanks Fay, we're going to have a super-Worm Farm
We didn't go to the theatre, my mind is still bubbling with web-sites/marketing plans/export & import so we just had a meal out.
so I could bend Popeye's ear further
