Thank Goodness for that LOL I was getting worried you were going too far :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thats exactly where I am re- SM tactics, well at least this way you get the satisfaction of playing them at their own game LOL, yer using their buying power to feather your own nest. I was spending around £600 a month on groceries at one point, the food that was wasted was unbelievable, with everyone having different meals every night. I fell deeply into their web. This forum was a godsend, the GC was a great help kicking the habit. We really DONT need 3/4 of the stuff they sell. I don't buy SM meat anymore, tasteless mush, now that I've discovered a way to afford DR meat, it has made such a difference. I Buy M&S Oakham chicken and sausages, but was recently surprised by an ALDI chicken I got for £2.79 very nice.

I'm really looking forward to the challenge, emptying the 3rd Purse was a good thing, its taken my cushion away, and it has made me sharper if there are bargains to be had I will sniff them out LOL. My daughters call me a bargain seeking missile.

From little acorns.:)

Agree about Al.. chickens - lovely!

My shop can be "arkwrights emporium" if not already taken - all I need now is one of those shopkeepers coats!! I only have 24p in my purse at the moment so I hope nobody posts any must have bargains - I do have a mounting pile of stock though!!!

LOVE how you are all naming your shops..
My name is BallyAnnies!! When we were kids if my mum had no money she would say it was a BallyAnne day and we knew we would be getting whatever she could rustle up.. A bit like a NSD really!!

I walked around all the SM today looking for cheap coco pops and couldnt believe how much the price changed from shop to shop.. I ended up getting 600g for a £1, Mr T's own brand, but could have paid up to £1.65 for a smaller box.. I think not!!

Can see am gonna get obsessed with prices soon!! :rotfl:

Awesome... shop names! :j We already have the Sum Tin Wong Chinese Laundry for when you have to hang stuff all round the house to get it dry.

I have decided upon Spend a Penny please Kerri

As an aside, I was searching for inspiration and found this page which made me laugh http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008-06-06/the-50-best-pun-stores/ :rotfl:
