    Oh dear big rookie mistake went to do S's should have had £20.05 back :( Think me need to go and read terms & conditions as only gave £10 so must be capped

    Raven my smirnoff went through at £14.79 had same price on sel but on website said £11.83

    Gutted as doubled up on el paso to bring spend up to £60 to use an extra points voucher dooh

    I read somewhere it was capped at £10 but tbh I haven't and will not be bothering with the sainsburys price match. My stores won't let me use coupons when stuff is on offer and I cannot see the benefit of the price match unless you don't have an asda nr. Anythng that sainsburys have on offer can (if it matches) mostly be bought in Asda so it means you get the sainsburys price less 10% and no hasssle cos no offer.
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    Wow that was a nice market research. Good to hear you had a bit of me time. Hope your free haircut is a decent one. I hate going at the best of times but would be even more scared if it was free:eek::eek:

    yes, I am not allowed to talk about it at the moment ;) - the free haircut is at my normal hairdressers, I am a model for one of the trainees. It's fine, the manager checks it and corrects any mistakes and like I always say to them, it grows back very quickly! :rotfl:

    Trying to catch up on posts, and see some of you need huge transatlantic hugs, so sending them to you right now....
    Going to persuade my son to buy a place here 'cos I love it.
    Just had a short evening stroll , lovely warm breeze...called in to Wallgreens ( huge drug store) had a good look round and decided on a box of sweets that looked like Werthers, they were $2.49......got to checkout, nice lady said I think they are on offer with a moc in our free news-sheet....she went and got one and tore it out , then said , but first I can use this, and she scanned a barcode, which knocked off $1, then the moc and asked me for 79 cents.....how good is that?can't see that happening in T's......
    Driving day for us tomorrow , we are hitting Route 66, doing a 200 mile loop from here......went to the huge Meteor Crater and guess what peeps......I actually stood on the corner in Winslow Arizona, and took it easy......( Take it Easy by the Eagles....get it?)there is a bronze statue of a bloke with a guitar that you can hug to have pics taken....never saw another soul there apart from the lady in the gift store, where I got the T-shirt and fridge magnet.....did see 2 horses though.......feet up with the telly now to watch Dancing with the stars.....hopefully more moccing news later in the week......

    Morning FT

    and morning everyone else.

    Yes, I don't make much me time for me ever, which is bad I know. Even sitting on the computer in the evening is not me time, it is time for making money.

    I enjoyed last night.
