We're still okay to use them, are we? Morrisons took one tonight so I'm guessing its fine.

Oh God yes, it's valid until the end of the year (same as the Wright's 30p coupon). It's just not available to save on your pc anymore via the link (I think??).
EDIT: It is still available via the link in the post HERE.

i am not sure whether to give another box full soon, or wait until next month, as i have already given a bag full this month and would rather keep it to once a month, rather than give loads now and have nothing to offer for another 2 months iyswim.

I/We've got the same dilemma!!
We've committed ourselves to £100 next year to give to the charity/help centre (average £8.33 per month) and want to donate once per month. We are stocking up on free beans and Green's stuff at the moment and are actually trying to get 200 tins of beans or so and that'll give a start to each donated box (hope they like beans - lol).
£8.33 p/m on hopeful bargains + freebies should give a decent box.


Just a heads up (I don't like it), but you can get 2 packs of Spam Fritters from Sainsbury's for free if you use the BOGOF coupon from HERE - prints 2 per pc. They are BOGOF and using 1 coupon will get you 2 packs of Spam Fritters free - good luck.

Off to Lidl today to get some biscuits for my Brother and myself and I'll get some onions. Carrots, cabbage and eggs from Aldi and a look around the cheap shops (B&M's and Home Bargains).
Using coupons today, but not too sure where or what yet.

Toast for breakfast and h/m fish and chips later.
Tomorrow will be stir fry for main meal and not too sure what else.
Think I'll bake bread next week and only buy stuff @ 10/20p if available.

Have a great and lucky weekend.

Oh dear, my PC died and my link to the above has gone.
Lynsey, can you help please, you are so good with these things.
I have got the Greens one now (now I have learnt how to find the attachments on Thundebird) and have the 80p off Wrights if you would like some in exchange (saved onto WORD). I try to use them sparingly and make cakes for local church with the cake mix.
Still reloading stuff on new PC.

Half price Lidl 29th/30th Chick drumsticks, red peppers, custard creme filled brioche and goats cheese. From 27th the UHT skimmed milk is 39p (missed out on half price, both had sold out) and meatballs 2 for £3. Its French week if you are into snails !!!!!!!

Since we are sticking to a budget n our house as from next month (as per the October Grocery Challenge), and just restocked our freezer etc, I feel that it would be a good idea to join in here...even if I dont always get around to posting.

Does anyone mind a newbie settling down in the corner? :A

I don't even know how you get the Greens coupon??

I'd like to know too...

Lynsey

Deleted_User - welcome and good luck. Please post if possible.
The Green's coupon is available from the link I posted in #6464
It's on page 39.

GROUPON - check your emails for £5 codes.

Right, off shopping.

HI all,

Lovely day here today! Deleted_User - welcome - this is without question the best thread on this board!! I have saved so much money thanks to the tips and links posted by all the posters on her, particularly Lynsey who I'm sure is one the UK's first "extreme couponners"!

Got up late so no breakfast - just got a pack of sausages taken out of freezer last night in the pan for lunch with tinned tomatoes, and am making cottage pie for tea with freezer mince (thawed) topped with the leftover butternut squash and potato mash from last night.

I am toying with the idea of going out to use some of my coupons today. I have the Spam one now (thanks Lynsey), but could only print one as when I pressed the back button it said I had already printed one, but never mind it's still free food!!

I also have alot of tesco ones from SSM so might venture up there too. I might also go into Waitrose about 4ish as they usually have good butchers counter reductions about that time.

Have a great day everyone!

Yay the threads picking up again few pages ago it felt like it was me and Lynsey posting not that I mind lol.

Lynsey 200 is a lot but so achievable, I got 8 tins easily yesterday, I'm off to complete a job down the road, i pass a sainsburys, so will POP in and get 2 I have about 13 cans at the minute, definitely enough for next months donation, Lynsey, I think for your £8 you will get loads, knowing couponing, didn't think of setting money aside to pay for things, but I will do, can't afford £100 as I'm now self employed, but i will scrape a few quid together, good idea, will also be giving some stuff to my uncle and cousin along the way..

Taken out of the freezer, 3 crumpets, a mac cheese, mozerella for the topping, 2 waitrose ready to cook chicken breasts.

Speaking of waitrose, I've not been in since wednesday so I'm pleased lol.

Really need cheddar, I'm trying to hold out for a nice glitch, it doesn't seem to be happening, so now I need a good deal.
