    Morning all

    Have managed 3 more NSDs this weekend. So that's me hit my target of 15 and I also managed 7 in row, woo hoo. :dance:

    Can I increase my target to 18 Spoon? Little Sis is coming down this weekend which will scupper many chances for NSDs. Though today does have the potential to be a NSD. Weekend trip to the in-laws means we have come back with loads of food, which should keep us going for a while. :D

    Official line is that if it's not on the shelf it doesn't get reduced, 'cos in theory it's "sold". People (me included) do pick things up to 'think about them' and then pop them back down as the reduction crew get into the area - but you risk someone else taking it before you can get it back, so it should only be done with something you're not desperate for / would rather go without than pay the higher price.

    I was stalking the Mr S woman the other week, following her trolley round! and did try to barter with the deli counter over a chicken, but I lost. Saying '£2 for a chicken' in an outraged voice clearly doesn't work :rotfl:

    Hi all,

    Managed another couple over the weekend.

    Friday I spent money at a charity do but I had paid for the tickets a while back and counted as a spend, and got the money back that day from the people with me so technically I made £5 on that as I didn't spend all that I got back :D

    Saturday was spendy - vouchers for Sainos spend such an amount get this much off - too tempting!

    Sunday another NSD as all I did was go on a bike ride, luckily getting home just before the heavens opened!

    So I'm up to 10 NSD double figures yeay!!
