    Part of the Furniture 500 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Fatz was shocked by what me saw at Mr S earlier today.

    An elderly OAP in her late 60's on the biscuit aisle taking pictures with a mobile phone of the codes on the McVities biscuits:rotfl:

    Fatz must have seen her take at least 20 snaps. What a cheek?

    Me was well suprised she had a flashy mobile let alone knew how to use it.

    I got a lovely lady at Tesco last night - thought she might be a trout but it was her or another guy (only 2 on as it was late!) and he's been a pain with just the odd coupon before!

    Anyway - I split my shopping into 2 - stuff on offer and with coupons and then my normal shop:

    1st shop:
    9 x 1ltr bottle of Persil £3.20each
    2 x Cushelle 4 Pack £2.18 each
    1 x Velvet 4 pack £1.75each
    4 x Always Ultra on BOGOF £1.20 each
    2 x Herbal Essence £1.6each
    1 x Oral B - £1.24each
    1 x Tampax £1.75each
    2 x Kingsmill 50/50 £1.05each
    2 x Lenor £1.68each
    2 x Rustlers £1.00each

    Before Multibuys etc £53.91 - After Multi buy discounts £51.31
    I had the £5.00 off WYS £40.00 and various other coupons for all the items listed and the total came to £26.31 - some options could have been better used elsewhere but the last date was yesterday so I decided to just utilise them on stuff I'd buy anyway!

    When I paid I got a £9.00 off next shop - WYS £60.00

    Next shop was just normal shopping, fruit, veg, tins, staple items and some frozen bits and the total was £59.34, after multi buys etc £57.82, so I handed over £5.00 off WYS and 3 x £1.00 coupons from price drop booklet - came to £52.82 - I then noticed the £9.00 off coupon from previous shop and she said I could use it if I spent £3.00 - I grabbed a bottle of Surf for £3.00 and the she took the £9.00 off - total to pay £43.82!

    So overall the 2 shops before any discount should have been £113.23 and I paid £70.13 - 38% saving which I am happy about! :j

    As Mission Control is playing up and either doesn't print or only prints 1 copy and then so many of my coupons running out yesterday and today I am back to being thin on the ground with coupons now though! :(
