The thing with road kill is that unless you know how long it's been there the flies might have laid eggs inside it, if it's laid there a for a while.

Argh, I was already feeling icky from watching it, now have visions of maggots writhing :eek:

The irony of the voucher woman doing a fairtrade lunch! Not to pay for her own lunch firstly but then I seriously doubt things like microwave burgers would be very fairtrade. I would have also thought that working in healthcare she would have more concern for what her kids eat, Dr Pepper, pizzas, ice cream,microwave burgers. Didn't see her picking up a lot of fresh fruit and veg in her shopping!

Hi Jwen (voucher lady) can I ask what your weekly grocery spend is please? I understand that you get bargains on certain items but you cannot live on pizza, Vienetta, deodorant, cif, rustlers burgers and Aunt Bessies - I imagine that your kids don't eat all that rubbish all the time as they look healthy. There arent many vouchers out there for fruit and veg.

Roadkill yuk I agree with the petrol question too

I didn't really like the programme, i felt the voucher lady was a bit greedy, i hate it when people take ALL of the offers and leave none for anyone else and i always make sure i dont take too much too. Also eating burgers, pizza and vienetta etc is not very healthy! And i was livid she didnt even donate £1 for her lunch!

There is no way i could eat roadkill and my husband kept shouting at the tv "BUT HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND ON PETROL!" lmao and i think the guy was way optimistic on how much his meat was worth! And who spends his suggested £40 a week on meat anyway lol. Not for me im afraid. Surely if he skinned the meat first he would fit more in and it would be easier to get the meat off than when its frozen?

I loved the young couple the little boy chasing the bubbles was so cute and i felt they had the right idea, though again why not just buy value? why branded goods? and you wouldnt catch me buying junk like nutella lol.

The wedding was great we did ours for the same budget (but it wasn't dry)

just my 2p's worth.

i rather liked the sweetie table decorations for the wedding

Nice ad for Tesco breaking all of its own rules about coupons, a bit much writing to a company saying you like their cheese to get a voucher & then slagging them off on TV because the cheese is small in large packaging.

All rehashed stuff from MSE, extreme couponing on you tube etc even standing outside the shop with the long receipt been done to death, nothing new or original. My question what is the motivation behind appearing on T.V. & declaring yourself a coupon queen etc.

That Vienetta box was empty wasn't it & the same one used at home with the boys & with the parents

Maybe it was the feathers that were worth so much money

I forget where i saw it now but saw a woman who collected feathers to make sort of paintings, but instead of paint she made the picture out of feathers.
