See - I've created a market and there's a rush on!

Buy before the price goes up. I can't keep this low price forever. You're procuring a unique blend of artisan crafts and timelessness!

I see the potential for a speculative bubble in yellow cotton reels. Prices will rise to about £132.67 a pair while debate rages between the cotton reel bulls and bears, before the bubble suddenly bursts leaving the later buyers holding reels they won't use but are unable to sell.

Is Little Oxford the posh end of the Little Britain estate?

I'd not pay anything like that amount for that house, in that position.

Maybe all the SSTCs were people sleeping off their hangovers and coming to their senses.

Thanks for all the help. Also, on the Finish dishwasher tablets, we go through loads of those. Are the ones on the DTD spreadsheet the ones in the dissolvable packaging or do they come in the little tear-open packets?

I've got a specially created, hand-crafted, eco-friendly range of bespoke and specialist natural thread dispensing towers available at the moment. These beautiful creations can be yours for just £19.95 a pair. They come lovingly wrapped in acid-free tissue paper, before being encased in a hand-crafted artisan wood-free gift box. Under the fair trade system, we've provided sustainable employment to fog knitters across the West Country. Pure indulgence, these are heirlooms of the future.

Shall I put you down for 4 guv?

You need Tesco to stock them, and then Asda at half the price. Then the whole world will be buying them on Tesco DTD creating demand only ever seen before for lamb's legs.

Developments that obtained planning from Sep 2010 have to now comply with level 3 of the code for sustainable homes, obviously it depends on the size of the property but cost to the builder is around 5-10k.

Must be similar for extensions. Round here I know of at least 3 people who are extending their kitchens by adding on a conservatory, getting it building regs signed off and then knocking down the wall between the kitchen and conservatory. New regulations on heat retention(?) require that the wall stays up to preserve heat in the main part of the house. Once the sign off is secured the wall can come down making the kitchen/ conservatory open plan.

You lot make me wish I lived near a Tesco (and for one to not be a 40 mile round trip) ... however, most of the stuff you guys are buying wouldn't be any use to me. It'd be difficult for me to be able to use the DTD tricks, I think I'd be mostly bulk buying of things to use over the next 3-4 years if I tried it.

Checking the latest list, I'd go for some Ambrosia creamed rice (13p each), lots of Pot Noodles (free), Cadbury Heroes (4p, so stock up for Xmas), Kit Kat 2-finger bars (9p for pack of 9).

I'm struggling to be honest

Diesel there/back would probably cost me £5, each time (once to shop, once to go back with the voucher)... so £10 for a £20 voucher - and 2 hours of driving each way twice.

Heaven!

I haven't indulged in this but I've been to Tesco twice last week although I don't usually shop there. I got a puncture on my way there on Saturday. Thank God for run-flat tyres 'coz I was on a 70mph road.

This sort of thing usually ends before I get to the shop, I thought it was another one of those. I should have taken advantage already but it looks nearly as complicated as spread betting.

Every time you went back you would be using one voucher to pay for the next.

I see your point, but you could be stocking up on shampoo and deoderent and toothpaste.

TBH I've only done it once and the checkout girl made a whole song and dance and called the supervisor and blocked the queue up while waiting, so I've not done it again.
