I. Water melon and honey dew melon £1.00 down to 19p,

I love melon red or yellow but never seen it tha cheap well done, go to Aldi for it and sometimes but not often morries knock 50p or 75p off the slices not the whole thing so 19p is a fab bargain:D

I got nothing today but am still mumbling and muttering about the cost of a refresher mug with 4 refresher tubs in it, guess how much it was before xmas? No guess:rotfl::rotfl: £8:eek::eek: £8 even my OH was going on about it saying to go to poundland get 7 mugs and spend £1 on the refresher tubes and you have 8 presents not one and then DS said 'oh look I have bought you a mug whoopy doo, here it is and I spent £8 on it' needless to say we have been silly today:rotfl:

Anyways I got it for £1;)

We went to Sainsburys today and got peaches x 2 for 29p where £2 bread flour 69p was £1.05, Deer stake hubby wants it was £6 got it for £2.60 lemons where £2 got got 49p

Then we went to Tescos which was an ordeal I am a quite new Driver and I could not see the Rd well and ended up almost going out the in way there where cars there then we got to a big round about I got in the wrong lane and got really freaked out going round and round trying to get into the right lane and there where so many lights on the round about I got so confused which ones I had to stop and and which ones where for the other drivers coming on to roundabout. Hubby had to talk to me to calm me down. Did not help baby was screeming in the back. Is anyone else like this with driving or am I the only fool? I so wish I could chill about driving I really am not a bad driver I just get so stressed.

Anyway I got a large chicken which was £3.69 and will make an awsome rubber chicken
a Mince for £2.40 was £4.00

lol this is true lets just hope I manage to become a calmer driver :S I so love the yellow Stickers I still cant quite get over why people pay the full price now.

I am really getting into them and when there are none I get a wave of sadness rush over me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I still am retisent, do I actually need to buy say 10 pizzas just because they are 59p? The other side of me is saying oh for goodness sake buy them all:rotfl:

Turns out I never but I have got to get better at this because the yellow stickers are not a daily certainty it is just luck and when the luck day strikes I have to go with it and stop thinking about the cost, I mean it is a little cost much less than it would be but I am still humming and harring:rotfl:

I thought it was just me that got the rush of sadness if there is nothing there. Or that jump of joy when it's all stocked. I so so dont need anymore food I think I am getting to the point I could feed us all for a month to fit the chicken and mince in to my freezer I had to take out 2 oppsie breads and still I want to shop.

Made me chuckle buzz of bargain.

yesterday i walked few miles and spent about 2hours in 3different shops.

Today eldest has party at 3pm.still dont have card

so plan is 2.30 go to the spar which is on way
check out reductions and buy a card.

Then party starts at 3pm,-5 hubby said he pickup.
its same time as school run so hoping toddler takes a nap.
then should get to co-op at 3.15ish.

its a risk going so late as there might not be much there.
however the reductions maybe very good.

wondering what time morrie closes think its 4 shame its not 5as some do 11-5here.

then later doing corner shop by myself as they had 6pack reduced monster munch and quavers for 50p. so 3-4of those last couple of weeks hopefully.

got few things for daughters lunchbopx next week but need more fruit.
