I wasn't being sarcastic! Having spent a good deal of time today inventorying my freezer and my stockpile I'm feeling well ahead in the battle with the supermarkets. Bring it on!

LOL I know you weren't I think most of us on here would consider that a good night in :rotfl:

OMG When I look back to my clubbing days.... my friends way back then wouldn't recognise the person I am now :rotfl:

I never ever take out cover on items like that. IMO a product should last 3 years easily and if something broke in that time I would return it and argue my point.

Took a TV back when it was 2 years old... warranty was 1 year... I explained that the warranty had well and truly expired but that I expected a TV to last longer than 2 years.... MrT agreed and checked the price way back then... And I got a new, even bigger TV than I had before which is still going 2 years later, and if it packs up, its going back!!!

I read this once... "Remember, insurance is a tax on fear"

Well that will be my next task, please forgive me only a L I will build up to it I promise:o

LOL!!! I used to be like that... Wouldn't ever take things back etc... Now I think nothing of asking for discounts, haggling etc and I walk away if I don't get the deal I want!!!

Recently went to look at chest freezers... Picked one I like... Found the duty manager and said I would like that freezer but I am looking for a discount... he informed me they don't do discounts so I walked away telling him I would get a better deal online but thanks anyway.

It takes time to get that hard-nosed :rotfl:

Having said that, its cheaper in that store than online, and they do free delivery so when I do go back to buy it, I will be sure to disguise myself heavily so as not to be recognised

Oh pink shrimps not had them for a long, long time, never even thought to look at Mr S for them, should be in there about 8.30pm tomorrow night ( got to pick up some books from someone who offered them on Freecycle ( all about the history of food in UK in past 1000 years, since looking at wartime food its got me interested in what was eaten before and lo and behold someone offers 6 books on the subject yesterday and I was only person to ask for them, I wonder why :rotfl:) so cannot collect them till after 7.45pm so said to hubs we can pop into Mr S on way back, he is not the happiest about it, I wonder why that is, but got these gaps in my bookcase pantry that are just crying to be filled and only have a week of poor youngest doggies trays, although we do have enough dried food in till at least February. It is hard on him as he actually has overtime tomorrow so is working a full day, lets hope there is more, well shouldn't wish it, as if there is overtime it means someone is off, and with the redundancy hanging over them I guess the person must be really ill.

Just swopped our HUGE old big box tv for a' free with life insurance' flat screen. The problem is , its tiny :eek: I could have picked it up and put the whole thing in my handbag :rotfl: Its 16'' but our old tv had a small picture in a hummungeous case so we will get used to it. And the main thing ...its free.... The old tv was an ex-school set that a friend gave us when ours died, in fact I don't think we have bought a tv for 20 years, we just had cast offs.

Going to sort the freezers out tomorrow and use up all the mystery meals. I cannot wait to get my de-hydrator for Christmas so all the extra whoopsied veg can be dried instead of taking up room in the freezer. I saw , I think it was on River cottage, you can make crisps in them too so that wil save a fortune and DGs can have parsnip and beetroot crisps which he loves.
