Must admit, mine failed to let me know about their flu day. Only found-out when I went about my runny bum.

:eek: :rotfl: :eek: :rotfl: :eek: :rotfl: :eek:

I went to Mr T's this afternoon with a shopping list based around moc's and worked out so as to use up one of the 2 x £5 off £40 spend vouchers from last week. Postman came just before we went out and Mr T had very kindly sent me 5 £3 off £30 and one £4 off £30 to use weekly until the new year, so that meant I had an extra £3 off voucher to use :j and that would work out at me paying about £12 after coupons

A couple of things were not in stock, but got some nice whoopsies, etc to take the total back up. I went through the manned till, offered up my pile of coupons with the 2 conditional spends on the top, and £4 off £40 wouldn't scan so she handed it back to me saying that I had to spend £40 to use that one. Well, I had added everything up to £46 but looking at the till it only said £31 for total spend :eek: I said I didn't think my maths were that bad and that I had added up everything aas I went, but she said no, total was just £31. I thought at that point that some things must have gone through at lower prices - well, we all know what Tesco's labelling is like - so had to accept the coupon back from her

I then got very worried as the amount due was getting lower and lower as the coupons were entered, fretting that they would owe me money at the end, but it stopped at me owing them £1.57p. Luckily I had just enough change in my purse, as I had planned to use my debit card and would be embarrassed to use it for such a small amount. Couldn't immediately see what the problem was but once I got home I realised that cashier had only put one of the 4 Dettol no-touch hand wash systems through the till, instead of the 4 I bought. Not only that, but she put 4 of my £3 off coupons through :eek: Once home, there was no way I was going the 7 miles back to the store to tell them, so I got £31.32 of shopping for £1.57 after moc's, 2 conditional spends and a £5 Tesco Gift card from collecting vouchers in The Sun in October which was free to me as someone who buys the paper gives me any coupons

Problem is, I still have 2 x £4 off £40 vouchers to spend by Sunday now

Shopping included 5 packs of the Tesco finest Pork and Bramley Apple Sausages barcode ends in 341726 priced up at £2.50 but scanning at 62p, and one pack of Dormen Caramalised Cashews which scanned at 41p - been wanting to try these for ages since and today was first time I'd seen them. They will definitely be on my next shopping list now I've found what they scan at :j :j
Mam is having a settled period at the moment which is very good :j :j

Winter Fuel Allowance arrived today - this is only the second time we have had this, and it was nice that we could get heating oil last month without having to wait for this ............ and it means we actually have some money to go down to Kit's this weekend as it was going to be very very tight otherwise :eek: :eek:
Hope everyone is well :beer:
