    Polkadot, I'm doing WW :D I'm nearly at my 3.5 stones :j

    If anyone else is, Sainsburys are doing triple Nectar points on all WW food until 6th March, and their soup (which I love!) is on 4 for £2 until Tuesday instead of 71p per can. I've already bought 16 cans and just need to see how many more the Second Purse - and my cupboards - can manage ;)

    We may have empty purses but at least our cupboards are bulging!!

    I have just had my third weight watchers baby.With DS1,I was overweight and just wanted to be slim again.Went on ww for 2 months and discovered I was pregnant. Didnt bother going back after as I picked up loads and was on my own with DS.

    Tried for 2.5 years for DS2,decided maybe I should listen to the docs and shift the weight,went back-2 months later we were pregnant.I continued to lose weight whilst pregnant (as in only picked up hhis weight and when I delivered I weighed less than I had at my last weigh in-so that made me a bit complacent, until he was 6 months old and I decided to go back.3 months later I had lost just under a stone when I discovered I was pregnant with DD.We were going to have a tubal ligation when I delivered DS2 but it didnt happen as we didnt sign the paperwork.When I started talking about how I couldnt wait to get back to ww,DH responded with "not until you have that tubal ligation".

    Did you see my post the other day abour F@rmf00ds? Coupons came through the door today-they keep 4 varieties and are on 3 for £3.
  • Hi I've now built up £49.00 of stock in Stock-a-Lot, and I've only put £22.00 in my second purse, so I feel like I'm gradually building it all up. I now get really upset if I have to buy anything at full price :rotfl:.

    Today got 2 tubes of Colgate Pro-Relief Sensitive Toothpaste for £5.00 in Mr S (they have the same offer in Mr A) and I'd printed off a 50p coupon from Grabbit Thread so got the 2 tubes for £4.50 :T. Usual price of 1 tube is about £3.59.

    I did see, thanks :) There isn't one near enough to me but I'll keep an eye out when I next visit my friend who has one just near her :D
  • :rotfl:do you shop at ald1 or lid1? They do some good handwashes in there if you're not bothered about brand. I picked up 2 the other day think they were 500ml for 55p.

    I buy Mr T value baby bath at 11p for 500ml and use that in a pump dispenser instead of handwash, saves the pennies :D

    Value baby bath has disappeared from all the supermarkets down my end of the wood! Very annoying and I can't find a good replacement at all. If you can still get it where you are, I'd recommend stockpiling it!

    Please could I join the list of people to 'get DR recommended to them'? I've looked at them before and thought they looked good but pricey - but a few of the offers they have at the moment do fit my budget. Thanks!

    Still got olive oil in the back of my car, just sold one to my dad at cost price :) not bought any offers recently. My 1st purse is currently on tick to my 2nd purse, will pay it on Friday when I'm paid. Second purse is also on tick to grocery budget, so will repay on payday when it all balances back out again;)
