    Hi everyone,

    Can I join in here, it reminds me of the good ol' days :) I do miss all the old regulars too :(

    I went to Mr T's and FINALLY found the SA who I went to all the time when we could use all the coupons we wanted (etc etc), turns out she was at another store - I could have kissed her (sad I know)

    Anyways, I got a £103.73 shop down to £25.81 :):):):) I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pleased.

    I did my first wombling yesterday - got back £0.08 and £1.06 LOL but it all adds up :)

    Thank you everyone for all your hard work and input :)

    PS - Has anyone had success using the coupons from The Big Price Drop? I have tried to use the cake one, household, frozen and fruit ones - none of them will be accepted by the till, supervisor has had to over-ride them :/

    If you read the t&c on the coupons I think you'll find they are not valid until 1st Dec

  • As per my promise to Bluewkd, here I am posting on this thread. I have been a lurker for long, Time I came out of my lurking.
    Just a small tip for APG. Schwartz herbs and spices are 3 for 2 at Tesco and full price at ASDA. It is very easy to make up 8 of them and get your APG. I usually stock up on these around this time, before Christmas. :-)

    Good morning unhappy-shopper and everyone else.

    Looks like another dull and miserable day outside today.

    Goodness knows what our heating bills will be so we gotta save some money somehow.

    So I will say, have a great day all.

    I am off to asda later as have lots of apg's to use. Everyone's xmas pressie might just have an asda written on it, but who cares. lol
