    If you get the free Asda's magazine, near the back is a page of vouchers which include some free coffee pods from Dolce Gusto:j So if you picked up lots of magazines - you could get a free pack every time you go!

    thank you...will have a trip (or two!) to Asda :D

  • Evening everyone,

    I'm going to be really cheeky and ask if anyone has two spare muffin cases? I don't mind sending postage, I only need two and the ones on ebay are only sold in sets. Don't need loads. Sorry if I've offended anyone.

    P.s. Loving all the photos!

    I've checked out the coffee pods - you have to have a machine to use them unfortunately... I did pick up some 50p bargains on Palmolive and Imperial Leather new products. They also had most of the foamburst series for £1 normally £2.48. They also had some bath products for £1. I picked up some wine glasses for a hamper - set of 4 for 88p!

    Savingholmes they are for the dolce gusto I believe is that right? I didn't read it properly but saw they were free so thought they may well be handy for someone.

    Wine glasses sounds cheap! :D

    I need to repack the crafty hampers today and make up some snowman soup but I am at work early tonight as there is a wedding anniversary so busy busy busy.

    Remember today is the day to pick up the Daily mirror for the vouchers for the lego :D

    :j :j Oooh Lydia I bet they went over brilliantly. I love the baskets you put them in, they look very expensive. Sorry I've not said till now, I keep missing things:confused:
    My DD (with a bit of help from mum) did a xmas food hamper for her bf's grandparents last year. She just didn't know what else to get them and she was given a big hamper with a lid to use for it. They loved it.
