    You stand in the supermarket looking at the price labels comparing the cost of toilet roll and kitchen roll, per sheet, washing powder and dishwasher tabs, per tab, teabags per 100 etc, etc etc............

  • I'm also wondering what womble clubcard points are?

    Thnx and happy Christmas to everyone!
    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

    Womble clubcard points are when you find a discarded receipt by someone who hasn't collected their points so you 'womble' the receipt by picking it up and recycle it (like a good womble) by taking it to customer service and by having the points awarded to your clubcard.:D

    So true - no-one else noticed Heinz Beans 2x4 for £2!!!!


    And your partner plays 'guess the offer' when unpacking the shopping.:D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • When your ten year old niece rings you to tell you that pearl barley is only 38pence in Sainsburys.
  • When you stand in Tescos working out whether its cheaper to buy items singley or in multipacks.

    When your son won't walk with you in the Tesco car park because you are busy seeing if there are any receipts that can be wombled up

    When you're disappointed when you don't find any change in the street

    When your work colleagues groan as when you tell them the virutes of MSE for the zillionth time
