Just a quick drop in to say hi. By sticking to my list and having organised my grocery shopping/SP I've not had to "just pop to the SM" for anything this week so far! It's just frustrating that things like cleaning products/ washing up liquid etc... Have all run out this week so my weekly spend is higher then normal. The plus side is my SP is looking quite good so can stock up on some more shop products next week! Time to hit mySM website to see what's on offer!

Just a quick question to you very super savvy shoppers...

DH presented me with a till coupon for 1500 nect@r points bonus if we spend £70 on wine or champagne and a £5 off £50 or more coupon. Now I've taken unopened alcohol back to Mr S after we got too much for a party once (you can see where this is going...) soooo if I buy £70 of champers plus £5 of groceries (offers of course!) then the next day take the champers back, I'll get my £70 refund but keep the £7.50 worth of points and my £5 groceries all for free???

Or is that just very hopeful thinking?

Couldn't resist it, just placed another AF order for £32.09, no idea where it's going to go, but it includes cake, packet mixes, biscuits and other things I'd normally buy on my weekly shop

Oh Mr C
how do I love thee?
Your offers are grand
The best in the land
Without you where would I be? :rotfl:

Went in today and they have my very favourite choccy bars on the reduced shelf at 89p, and they are still on £1.49 BOGOF on the choccy shelf, so scan through 2 packs, reduces them both to 89p then takes the £1.49 BOGOF deal off making 2 packs of 5 bars 29p

Bought 10 for me and 6 for me mate (who rang me after her kids picked them up asking how much more she owed me as she only sent them with a £1 :rotfl: I said 'umm I owe you 13p change :rotfl:)

I've just looked over it, as I forgot what I ordered, and all I can see is biscuits and cake mix with some 1p case of red thai curry and a few pasta sauces hahaha. You're right though, I definitely don't need to buy anything more, I've loads of stuff to cook with but this was a lunchbox shop

CASE PRICE The Fabulous Bakin Boys Lucky Dip Cupcakes 36s @ £1.99 (6p each)

So lots for lunchboxes there, which will save me buying cake from the shop and should keep my sweet tooth in check for the next year Also, the muffins and cookies will help as I can't ever get my cakes to rise properly.

But yes, this is a bit of a tuck shop shop hahaha

What are your fave choccy bars Jakes-mum????

I have 2 birthday hampers of treats to make for my DD's and I like to get a selection of things that they wont buy for themselves

And I can walk to my local Mr C......when/if it stops raining

I have balanced the SP today and can report a massive £1 going into 3rd Purse! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Bought from SP:-

18 x diet pepsi, 1/2 price whoopsied chicken breasts and big bag of wotsits = £8

I owed the SP:-

6 x diet pepsi bought @ £1.39 but paid £2.50
DR minced steak bought @ £2.75 but paid £3.00
Variety Pack bought @ £1.25 but paid £2.00
Butter (free from MILK+More with offer to tempt me to place "regular" order) but paid £1.50 = £9

So £8 out and £9 in means an extra 100 pennies for 3rd
purse! :T

But of course Sallys Stores have increased and still have 12 diet pepsi, wotsits and chicken breasts to buy back from myself so that will be more profits at some future date.

OMG - you just have to love Motherships SP system!
