kit kats
hila hoops
tropicana
dairy milk
dolmio pasta bake

......seriously it is easy money,

Is it all stuff like that - branded packaged stuff? We very rarely buy stuff like that as we just don't eat it. (I'm a slow-cooker devotee ) Would be worth it if it was fresh meat and veg ..... or Beer for OH

Lots of other stuff included trying looking here to see if what you buy is on the list - it includes own brand stuff as well. Suggest you read the T&C on the Tesco grabbit thead to get your head round it all first though.

Wayhay - another UU!

I'm on a roll, and I have another sputterer as well. As these are full sized products, it will take me ages to get back to this stage again, but I'll enjoy it while I can.

UU: Vaseline Intensive Care for Hands.
WIBA? No need as I already have another one, but I do notice that it isn't quite enough for really bad weather.

trudij-go for it, don't live a life of regrets and all the best!

anyone want to hear a funny story that happened to me at the weekend??

i've been totally spooked since

i had a bit of a row (noting new there) with my other half and went to bed, (he'd been noseying through my lloyds stash!)

i was asleep and woke up to see a ghostly white figure glowing at the end of my bed

i thought i must be dreaming or it was a shadow so ignored it but then it started moving towards me, :eek::eek::eek:NOW I WAS FREAKED!ing reciting prayers in a really loud voice screaming get away. Anway this white figure came right up to me, I thought at this point i was going to die and this was the angel of death (i'm quite religious)

All I could think of was I can't die now, eveyone will find my shopping stashes, how embarrassing will that be? I need to sell/get rid of them first!!!

When I was near hysterical just reciting the same prayer over and over again it eventually spoke, "its me darling!!" then the "glow" shined in my face , it was my husband and his iphone (he puts it on when coming up to bed after a late night so he doesn't trip)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I could have killed him!!

In the aftermath he says he couldn't make out what i was saying and thought i was telling him to get out to sleep in the spare room (because of the row thats why he didn't say anything to begin with)

I didnot sleep a wink that night and my daughter has been sleeping in my bed since he left for work yesterday!!!

So... how am I ever going to catch up? Anyone able to do a quick news summary of the past two weeks?

p.s. I have been doing really well on the NBT mission, haven't bought anything this month - well, apart from stocking up on my two HG products from the Body Shop (the 50% + 10% + 12.12% TCB was just too good to resist!!!!!).

I have some UUs as well, will list them soon and update my savings xo

Couldn't begin to summarise the last 2 weeks ! We do have Toiletries Thread Honours Graduates (meeeee!...see OP) and photos of people's nails though!!

well i spent my £50 voucher today on stuff i usually buy and i also had some MOc's from mccain, i paid a grand total of 6p for my shooping!!! Its best just to spend a small amount at the outset about 10-20pounds then keep recycling the DTd voucher you get on each spend then your only outlay is the £10 at the beginning the rest of your shopping after that is free, you just keep buying stuff you know is dearer than asda

i bought "normal" stuff i would usually get you just need to be savvy in what you pick to get most return
today i bought
kellogs variety packs,
kellogs frosties
kellogs start
hellmans ketchup
mccain wedges
mccain fries
kit kats
hila hoops
tropicana
dairy milk
dolmio pasta bake


and so on
you just have to be careful you get the exact comparable sizes and check prices daily
seriously it is easy money,

OMG, can you really keep using the DTD vouchers???? Even better!!!!!!!!!!! I am still waiting for my first one - bought 4 litres of Baileys, 2 bottles of whiskey and some Lemsip yesterday and am expecting about £100 in vouchers wayhey!!!!! :beer: Totally love this promotion. I don't really buy processed food either, but it's well worth it for storecupboard stuff, toiletries (ahem) or alcohol! :D:D:D:D:D
