    Well done on the shop! not sure I could be bothered checking everything, if I get dtd voucher then fab! If not, nothing lost.

    Will post later, work Internet down, and using phone.

    I cheated really, everyone has been posting their finds and I just pinched yesterdays list and checked that they were still the same prices before I left the house and all stuff we needed like cereals, frozen food, toiletries, yoghurts and a big bottle of baileys tucked away for Christmas. Can't really argue for such a great price :)

    Must get on with loony I think, have stayed away for a few days now.

    How is everyone, your all so quiet :)

    Esmer - Baileys is £19.19 or something at T, but only £10 at A, so you get £9.19 x 2 back = makes it FREE. Pity I don't drink (much).

    Savvy - that's exactly what I did yesterday (and what I've done today) Just copied what they've had and then double checked before I left.

    Twinkle - who needs friends like that? but maybe she's letting you down gently, just in case. You really need to talk to OH and clear things up. :)

    Legend - you need more laundry conditioner - buy the Comfort strawberry (small bottle) from T's. They pay you to take them away. :D

I might get the baileys............... whisky too. as we are going on holiday and would be a nice wee tipple at night :)

    Baileys is a brilliant one, it has a lovely red ribbon on it so it is quite easy to spot too :)

    The first two posts on this thread explains it, the tesco price checker is how you can find price comparisons, just type in something you are looking for and see if asda are cheaper, when you find an item you want then check that the prices are correct on the asda website and the tesco website incase it hasn't update properly yet. I open them in three tabs for quick searching and reference

    yes ! it does the same to me too

    It's still no better. I am now up to 70,000 points so it's not good. How are you getting on on there? Do you have a different user name? I have some of the ones on here but not you I don't think.

    Hi everyone, popped to Tesco after reading about all your trips, managed to get a fair bit, after all discounts a dtd, my £60 shop cost me just over £1!

    Also, found that your £3 credit Funky Pigeon can be used against posters and notebooks too :) If you sign up with a referal code you get 50% off your order making a personalised notebook or poster free including free delivery. Hope it helps someone, they have some lovely designs and are probably better quality than the vistaprint ones. If anyone needs a referal code feel free to ask me ;)

    Hi Savvy, could you please send me a referal code for funky pigeon please :)

    Thanks xx
    Making money for Christmas 2012!

    Well have been reading washing machine instructions and a normal wash is 85 minutes long! Grrrrr! A quick wash is 15 minutes but only can put 1.kg in! Oh dear me why cant they make a machine that has a 30 minute wash??? Or should that be why couldnt I have bought a machine with a 30 minute wash!!! The soiled whites wash is 200 MINUTES!!! Will NEVER be using that wash thats for sure! Anyways tried catching up on surveys and I was screened out of most as quotas had been filled! Typical! Take 1 day off and miss out! Only need 6000 points on looney and seem to be getting nowhere fast! Will have to have a looney weekend! Hope your all well and hav a great Friday! xx
