  • My sis popped into the local tesco superstore yestersay about 5pm and she said she'd never seen the shelves so empty, she tried to get mascarpone and goose fat and they were all out. Good job she can borrow some off me x

  • Went to Tesco last night at about 8pm and although it was busy it was surprisingly pleasant! The queue's weren't long, the people were calm and the shelves were stocked full! Whizzed round in 30 minutes, got everything on my list and walked out with a smile on my face!

    I have just come from Morrisons and the butcher told me if I come back on Christmas eve at least an hour before the shop closes I will get all my meats very cheap as they have to get rid of a lot of the food due to the shop closing for the holidays.

    I wish I new about this a couple of years ago I could have been saving money from then.

    Ditto here (well 4.30) in Asda. Starting to slowly get people in as I left but was home and packing it into the shelves at 7 :)

    Well, first of all there is only 3 of us in our household (me, my hubby & 22yr old daughter) and don't tend to buy much more than I usually buy but...

    YES! I do go bargain hunting on Christmas Eve! I've already bought a fresh Smart Price chicken but that will be going in the freezer if I get another bargain like I got on Christmas Eve last year! It was a turkey that was originally £23 reduced to about £6! I got a few other bits too that helped fill up the freezer!
    If I didn't leave the house tomorrow we would still have a nice Christmas dinner but finding a bargain will make it taste a hundred times better!

    Happy Bargain Shopping!
