P.S anyone who shops at Twickenham Tesco, the one by the Rugby ground there is a trout on CS with dyed red hair! Other woman on CS said to me: I dunno why she sent you here, it clearly says on the sheet that you present it to the checkout operator! Trout walked back to CS desk whilst nice CS woman was serving me who then told trout that the vouchers are taken at any till. Trouts face was so angry. :rotfl:

Hey SootSoot,
I will look out for your Trolley next time i am there (tonight, if hubby gives me my way again:D)

Anyway, in the Twickenham store the other night i got a FANTABEDOSEY sa! Not only did he let me use 4 yes 4 vouchers;) He aslo gave me 4 HUGE pads of the school vouchers to go with it:D

He was great, i loved him lol!:T

I think that with all the time we save searching for DTD items, we should be writing our shopping lists and then comparing tesco/asda/sainsburys prices to divide our lists into 3 - if we aren't visiting Tesco twice a day, we can find the time to visit at least 2 of the 3 to get the best deals.

It takes me back to when we were kids doing the saturday morning grocery shop. Tesco and Sainsbury's were next door to each other in the shopping centre and my mum and dad would go round Tesco with a list checking all the prices, go to the Sainsburys and buy the cheapest and then go back to Tesco for the rest.

The advent of large out of town supermarkets killed this skill and (until now) we've forgotten about it. Now we have the internet, we can get back to basics and compare prices before we leave the house.

Thats what I have started doing. I'm buying the DTD stuff in Tesco but also checking Asda's prices, as some are pretty high at the minute. I shopped in Asda yesterday and picked out the items that cost more than Tesco and its things I'd normally buy (bit like doing a DTD shop :rotfl:) ended up spending just over £20 and I've got a voucher for just over £9 works both ways

Also SootSoot, if you are in Twickenham you are clearly close to the Osterley store. They have been super duper too. With the 4 vouchers i got from my Twickers shop i used in there and the SA took all of them too, even asking me how to do it:D

I normally do 2 at a time, havent had the nerve to do more yet!! I pay for the first one with a voucher and depending on the reaction, make a snap decision wether to use another voucher for the second lot or cash lol!! Most times i use 2 vouchers though!

3 in a row each time I go

C'mon voucher 'o' clock!

I think I may have messed up a small shop yesterday.

Sent hubby in to get the Wilkinson Razor and Gel, he came out with the normal gel not the sensitive one.

how many of you are risking more than one shop on the belt at the same time?

i have been doing 2 shops at the same time daily for a couple of weeks and not once got questioned.

Can someone tell me if the crusty White split tin loaf would freeze ok or will that ruin it?

I normally buy your bog standard squishy loaf which freezes and defrosts well but wondering, for the price if I could freeze this?
