    Pringles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Massively over-priced at £2+ per tub when other stores like B&M etc. can sell them for 79p'ish.

    Only ever pay £2+ when they are on a buy 1 get 2 free offer, which brings them back down to "normal" price.

    B&M Bargains - it is a national chain, just not that national - there's not one anywhere near me anyway

    Almost anything i can get on some sort of offer, reduced or an offer of some sort ie bogof, half price and so on. Mainly things like bread, readymeals, treat things such as crisps and cakes, tins that arent too badly dented, as i say just about everything i use i will keep an out for on some sort of deal.
    I dont drive so i scour whatever shops i happen to be passing as well as trying to keep an eye on the offers where i work in the co op as well as other supermarkets i pass when i go to drama.

    my lists getting longer and longer as the prices for everything! keeps going up.
    cheese, always seems to be bogof or 2 for £5 every few weeks
    crisps, wont spend more then £1 for 6 bags, if none on offer make a trip to poundland
    tins of soup, tuna, beans, spaghetti, always stock up on offer
    bread, always buy it when its reduced, buy quite a few loaves and stick in freezer
