    Careful with Lido, just mysupermarketed and some offers aren't cheaper like the Felix ;) I'll go through the rest properly tonight but have linked on the front page. I'm going to be a whizz of knowledge on what's cheaper where soon ;)

    My OH would say I have too much time on my hands haha. I was sat there last night going "nope cheaper here, nope cheaper there" I'm only going to put up the good deals not the ones they want you to think are good :D

    I'm now checking the price of dishwasher tablets and trying to work out whether I should spend £12 and get my parents half a year of dishwasher tablets as they're skint. hahaha I've also been working out where I can store them there without my mother going mental

    Thats what we all are lol apprentice millionaires.

    I'm really tickled that ye are all naming your wee shops:j:j:j

    I opened a separate account for the 2nd & 3rd Purse too, with its own switch card. Its working really well, saves you carrying large amounts of cash around, and you always have your purse ready for bargains, ye never know when an opportunity will arise.

    My kids call my kitchen 'Suzie's Cafe' Open all Hrs. Forgot to tell you, I keep them going with stuff too, not everything they use but a good many things. I put the money in the 2nd Purse for their stuff

    What's with the WOW thing its going up and down like a yo yo LOL Anyone know how it works?
    1st Purse £114.19 Monthly GB
    2nd Purse ££100
    :rotfl::j:wave::j:rotfl:
    Fridge Freezer £300 3rd Purse /£290.94

    The "wow" happens when you thank the first post on the thread, it gets the thread noticed more (I think). So if you think this is an awesome money saving thread, then click "thanks" and we'll go up the wow ranking :)

    Still lurking today because I think it's going to be another NSD:j
    I really want to spend something now but I'm being so good:D
    But I can still name my shop, so I'll go for 'KTPI EMPORIUM' Basically the KTPI stand for knowhere to put it (because I never have enough space for everything) and Emporium sounds a bit posh:D

    Well done everyone! I love the enthusiasm on this thread:j
