Wow that's brilliant :j- very impressive and I bet you're really happy with that! Oh hail the Queen of Shopping :rotfl:.

I've spent £13.17 in Mr S so am up to £45.02 for the week. I've only got a little bit more to get so will probably be around the £50 mark for the week which will be an achievement for me .

*waves regally* i thank you :hello:

Though you've done well yourself :T my shop has pushed me over my weekly limit though so will cut back next week . . . though I do have a £6 off £40 at Mr C and another £7 off £50 at Mr T :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I was shocked at that price too, but it was my treat for the day. I'm now on mysuper looking for deals on multipacks, never again! I did justify it to myself in that I bought a packet of crisps from bean-a-castle instead of buying them from the petrol station

Morning everyone

My OH had an argument in a petrol station yesterday because they wanted over £4 for a pckt of 10 cigs :mad: and a k!t k@t chunky :rotfl: I said I bet you though the choc was about 30p and he said YES !!!!

I did my first spend at the c@sh n c@rry last night, very pleased got 6 x 200g+50% extra of c@thedr@l city for £5.47(half price), am miffed because there was 2 boxes and I only picked up 1. OH said great but I bet you have frozen it :rotfl: Yep, they retail at £2 so profit of £6.53

Got 1150 pg t!ps for £11.99 so that is about 7x160 boxes which retail at £4.25 profit is £17.76

For those that like tuna Mr M has it's own in spring water-no drain no fuss one (single 121g) reduced from £1.39 to 50p at the mo
Clover is on offer at £1 and I got 2 packs of Mr M's stuffing 2 for £1 (normally 73p each) I empty these into a tub and use about 6 desert spoon to have with roast, I was wasting so much stuffing buy making up the little packet and it costs so much more
Also got 2 C@dbury share bars half price for sunday

Hi all, glad to see that it is all going so well for so many! I've managed to reign it in a bit this week. I think that it's getting to a point where I have plenty of the things that I use often, so I am doing more of a top-up rather than buying huge quantities of lots of things. Hopefully, I should now see the balance in the second purse increasing! Here are this week's bargains...

9 Bags of Haribos (0.50 each, sell back £1) just for long car journeys you understand
2 Happy Egg Co individual quiches (0.39 each, sell back £1.45 each)
1 Pack of 2 Bramley Apple Crumbles (FREE, sell back £1.50)
5 Lenor Fabric Conditioner (40 washes) (£1.68 each, sell back £3 each)
1 Pack of 2 Salmon Fillets (£1.40, sell back £4)
1 Pack of 6 Mr. Kipling Lemon Cake Slices (0.30, sell back £1.40)
2 Packs of 6 Mr. Kipling Angel Cake Slices (0.30 each, sell back £1.40 each)
4 Bottles of Sparkling Flavoured Water (1L) (0.38 each, sell back 0.45 each)
1 Lurpak Unsalted Butter (250g) (£1, sell back £1.60)
1 Stick of Garlic Bread (0.37, sell back 0.37)

Are these the biggest boxes??? I only eat Mr M's stuffing and would seriously do a dedicated run there just for this deal :rotfl: Im down to 4 boxes :eek: (I tend to buy 20 boxes at a time )

Any idea how long the deal is on for?

Just ran to the shop (shelves) it's the 340g box not sure if it's the biggest but it was the largest my Mr M's had

I'm not sure when it finishes I noticed that quite a lot of offers in Mr M's are no longer sporting a date "offer ends" now !!!! :mad: I think it's another way of getting you to spend more, making you think it's only on offer for a week
