Tesco/Asda Pricechecker Thread - part 4

Have been lurking for years but this is my first ever post so please be nice.

Been following this thread and bought some of the DTDs but I fear it is now time to call it a day. Girls and hubby out for the day and instead of enjoying have some (rare) time to myself, I have spent the day on the computer waiting for vouchers to come. Total waste of a day but I can't help myself.

Really feel this DTD may be saving me money but is doing nothing for my stress levels. Always trying to figure out what to buy to maximise voucher, resisting temptation to add one item that I haven't pricechecked beforehand and skulking round my local T hoping the staff won't realise it's my 4th visit in 2 days.

Waiting for two vouchers and after that am not going to do any specific DTD shops. Will keep checking receipts and if I do save a bit great, but if not I know that I have already done well.

Wish the rest of you continued success with DTD.

Awwweee, my best tip is to try and not stress about it and just choose items which would be good for you and your family. Maybe just focus on one area like washing powder/cleaners at first and not panic and get things because you think they won't be there next time as dtd.

I have been on this thread a lot the last 2-3 days because I'm poorly, but normally I read a bit, check the spreadsheet, and make a small list of the things I need. It's surprising how little it is your basket when buying dtd items. :eek: Don't think you have to do this on a large scale. It's what suits each person. I don't have the room (my freezer is one of those table top ones, so tiny, and no room for anything larger!).

I generally shop at Tesco because that's what I have where I live, so am usually in 2-3 times a week anyway, and lately, because of illness, I've been in less.

As for waiting for the vouchers, if you are not planning to go out shopping immediately afterwards, there's no point in stressing. I have even forgotten sometimes!!

Sorry to hear about your op but boy are you determined to do the DTD - twice in one day after op and with 7 month old - you deserve a medal.

Hope you feel better soon.
