    Regarding Donald Russell:-

    They have confirmed that their 20% off your 2nd order only applies to full price purchases, so not much use to anyone here........cos we NEVER pay full price, do we??? :D

    They do have an offer for Feb, buy 2 out of 3 packs and get free sausage rolls........

    Also found 2 versions of their Weekly Meal Planner, both same price but one includes a few mini burgers! So do double check when ordering, in case there is a better offer lurking on the site. ;)

    When I ordered my second lot, i noticed that the 20% didn't come off my two offers i had ordered, I added some chipolata sausages which were full price at £2 something, and it took the discount off everything, which was a saving of over £10 so well worth adding the sausages. Hope that makes sense, im not great at explaining things :)

  • Oooooooooo, I could :mad::mad::mad: !!

    Finally placed my 2nd DR order and 5 minutes later found a 10% off code on Hot Deals, CHS11E5118 :(

    Hope it helps someone else!! :rotfl:

    Thank you Lynn, makes perfect sense!

    But I tried adding a full price item but it just took the 20% off that for me......

    And found a 10% code AFTER I placed an order! CHS11E5118

    Obviously DR hates me!

  • I'm going to place my first DR order tonight! Is it wrong to be ridiculously excited by that? :o And I have placed another AF order, it's another £50 spend :eek: but in my defence I am already seeing a BIG difference in my food bills ordering from there. Just as well as I will only get SSP this month! My plan is to get an organised stockpile together this month then start 'paying' myself for it next month.

    I signed up for email alerts before registering, it's just above the friend recommendation box, so it's possible

    If you need recommending eddi is next on the list :D

    Sue can you remember who I was supposed to pm my details to so they could recommend me to DR? I know at my first attempt they had already recommended someone else and I can't find the other post now? It all went a bit DR recommendation mad at one point didn't it? lol :rotfl:

    Congrats Helen :) I'm so busy with my new job I'm afraid I don't have time to update the offers spreadsheet :(

    One thing I have found now though, since starting this challenge, I'm becoming a LOT more organised :) little lists here and there to keep me in check
