Sharkbait - stick with us and we'll pass on our knowledge. In the last 6 months I have managed to accumulate:

1000+ nappies (Mothercare & Tesco)
3000+ baby wipes (Mothercare)
1 year supply of coffee
2 or 3 years supply of tea (7p per box of 80 tea bags)
Many years supply of deodorant
Many years supply of Hand soap
Many years supply of toothpaste, toothbrushes & mouthwash (Superdrug)
2 years+ supply of shampoo
2 years+ supply of shower gel (Superdrug)
1 year supply of toilet roll
A few months supply of kitchen roll
2 years+ supply of razors and other feminine bits
A few months supply of booze (beer, wine and WKD)
3 years+ of dishwasher tablets
1-2 years supply of fabric softener
1-2 years supply of fabric detergent (tablets & powder)
2 years+ supply of bleach
2 years+ supply of floor cleaner
1 year supply of jelly & custard for the kids
1 year supply of Heinz mini meals
1-2 years supply of cereals
Lots of gardening bits (seeds, baskets, plant food, hoses etc)
Lots of outdoor bits for the kids (tent, pools, balls, play sets etc)
Presents for the next year or two for the kids (thanks to the recent Tesco reductions plus some Mothercare glitches)

I'll not list all my DTDs as it's embarassing plus who knows if someone is reading this shouldn't be :shhh:

Thanks QPRanger.

For those wanting to save on the shopping and were asking how we do it, then value ranges are definitely worth a try.

I converted my two teenagers to T Value Tomato Sauce, not sure how, but a bargain at just 22p a bottle!

If you've time, I'd really suggest comparing prices, perhaps through mysupermarket, and with Morrisons although you'll have to go tot he store to check prices. Yes it takes time, but you'll f ind a difference. I needed double cream for a dessert a few weeks ago. £1.08 in both T's and M's. Then T's went to £1, then with the price drop, now think it is 87p. M's is now 85p! lol

The old adage, look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves, needs to be a Mantra, along with the question, do I really need this!

I seem to remember these in old Y, will check it out when I go, if I see them do you want some?

Sorry didn't reply sooner been sitting in the hospital growing old, popped into Oasterlee for milk on way back.
1.25 lit casserole had wrong barcode & scanned at £3.
Loads of 12 TRolls but as with Old Y now £5
but, drum roll please :rotfl:I found I set of the £2.50 saucepans well its 2 saucepans & a frying pan if that helps anyone finding them. :jI feel very chuffed with myself I'm happier with them than the posh ones available with the vouchers at present, don't really want any of them.

Just off to put all the 70% vouchers together & then I'll post on the correct thread to give them away, if anyone on here wants them pm me.

Started to sort the garage out yesterday "something" has got in & ripped the bin bags my winter duvet was in and been chewing it.:eek:

Luckily I've treated myself to an expensive hotel quality one from Dulemn Mill but still gutted to throw it away

Bit scared to finish looking around now someone is going to be sitting there looking at me in a very cozy nest.
