Hi can I ask where you get your free sainsbugs delivery codes from?

They keep sending me emails with codes to use. I've got one free delivery code to use by the 19th Jan and another by the 2nd Feb if I spend £50. I don't know if they are specific to me, or whether they are able to be switched between other users? I'm sure I've read someone on the forum that they don't like their codes discussed on here, so if anyone knows whether they are specific to the recipient or transferable to anybody please let me know. I'll be more than happy to PM them onto you if they are.

£1 spent on lunch out today, but could have been £3.85 but we had £10 between us to spend that I girl who recently left work left for us as she would not let us pay for her leaving lunch in December!

I don't usually eat lunch out but we were celebrating the news today that my fiance has been offered a new job in Belfast where I live...he has been living and working in London, so we have been apart for over 2 years travelling back and forward to see eachother every 2 weeks. It has been costing me a fortune! But no more now, so definately something to celebrate today!!

Wants £5.25 for delivery for me compared the price of some items and found them cheaper here http://www.rosspa.co.uk/

Sorry free delivery didnt work for you. I checked on food and grocerys and it seems this is only for people who have not ordered before. I dont kinow why it worked for me as I have previously ordered.

Agree with Rosspa being cheaper on some things and have used them.

Went to farm shop and bought some tomatos rather than get tempted in the supermarket so only spent 92p today, no more to buy this week at all I hope, maybe a loaf on Friday possibly

todays spends: £1.95 for 3 pounds of cox's and a red cabbage from the market. £6.40 in co-op for yellow sticker wholemeal bread, finger rolls and crisps, full price cheesestrings for DS, 80p twiglet drum, and reduced fox's biscuits. £3.70 in Mr T's for yellow sticker bread (warburtons farmhouse DS's favourite but he only gets it when its reduced lol) plus 2 packs of J2O and two bottles of robinsons squash bought with £7.50 of britvic vouchers i got for complaining about a flat bottle of pepsi max which came with an ocado offer ages ago. so £12.05 added to my total.

I have never ordered from the site before (looked a few times), so the code did not work for me as a new customer.

Doing terribly in terms of NSDs, going to have to nip to the shop for loo roll and milk. I think I've had one NSD in Jan so far...hopefully this week will be better (especially since OH is back at work as of today) I sent him out yesterday to get puff pastry, and he came back minus puff pastry but with £7odd of other stuff!

Budget isn't looking great (need to update sig, but around £90 so far I think) but hopefully we can get by the next two weeks with just small shops in Asda. Freezer and cupboards are pretty full.
