Morning all, horrible day here and I've got to go out!!
Just had a coffee and skipping breakfast and have elevenses instead.
quintwins - which area do you live?? Great to have the choice of using coupons anywhere.
Good luck with the beans, still 4-5 weeks to get a stash.
Morries have £15 litres of spirits, so you could use that £5 off £40 one there, though someone said Aldi are doing the £5 voucher in this Thursday's Mirror, so perhaps a better offer.

quintwins - N.I.? I thought West Country for some reason. Shame about Morries, but lucky you have the choice with coupons - hope it happens over here and might now Morries has "upset the applecart".
Freebies:
6 x Heinz 5 Beanz.
Bought:
Lemon juice 30p
2 x Red Sky crisps (150g) @ 59p = £1.18
Big D dry roasted peanuts @ 99p
Wilshire ham @ £1.15
Pease pudding @ 15p
Total = £3.47
Bought the ham in case we get back late tomorrow and at least we can have a quick sandwich.
Butter, sweetcorn and sugar (keep forgetting) will wait until Thursday now. I'll visit Aldi on Saturday for veg before the Super 6 offers end.
Probably no more shopping today and I'll catch up Wednesday night or Thursday.

Hi everyone!
Feeling better now although not tried running again yet... maybe thursday for that.
Got loads reduced from Mr T last night including 5 huge packs of ham for 70p each instead of £3.50 so that sorts the sarnies for a bit.
Went into freezer for salmon earlier but couldn't find it without mesing up the jigsaw so instead have dug out 3 large cod fishcakes for the kids and two fish pies for us (one ys and one hm). Also dug out a couple of pieces of roe for my lunch, cooking it now to have on a multigrain roll. nom.
nsd today but planning a trip to sainsbobs this week to get wine while the 25% offer is on.3 kids(DS1 6 Nov, DS2 8 Feb, DS3 24 Dec) a hubby and two cats - I love to save every penny I can!

Evening all.
Went to Mr w today, spent £8.35 but this did include a bogof for Christmas of 2 bottles of bottle green, will wait for a different bogof to get some more bottles, .also got my weekly bag of onion rings, a pint of milk, I'm trying to use up the free box of chocolate cheerios and a multi buy of pork shoulder steaks,.ecaudaurian prawns and chicken breast fillets, think I did good for the money, also went to Mr s and got 2 beans and the half price copella, may pop back later, as they had quite a bit of fruit and veg to be reduced, we shall see.
Not done too badly, have used up some milk and cheerios, had the onion rings instead of lunch, have put the rack of ribs in seasoned with honey, paprika, garlic powder and chilli powder, will have it with rice, as I can't think what to have with it.Lose 28lb 3/28lb
