He He my wee Quidco trick worked it tracked @ 79 pence.

I got quidco off my mince too Oh and what have you started :eek: gave DH and the kids DR burgers for tea tonight and said 'thats the last of them' Dh looks at me and says 'when you ordering some more then?' think id better put in a few orders :rotfl:

I know exactly what you mean LOL. My family are hooked too, and so is everyone I've fed their meat to. There's loads of their range I cant afford, but I always manage to find 'a way' to get some of it at least.
Look at it this way, you are giving your family the best thats available. When I first got their mince I had some supermarket mince in the freezer, no one would eat it so it ended up in the bin.
I'd rather have less of something half decent now, my wee GD runs to the kitchen all excited when I tell her its mince 'n' totties for dinner.

If you go through Quidco like I told you and that code works again you could get 30% off burgers that are already half price, they would come in at £9.80 for 16 burgers. And with free delivery too lol. We are stealing them he he. We had the mini ones tonight with mashed potato, turnip and onions. And I must say they are tasty wee burgers.

I spent my refund from Quidco on their meat. I've got 19 wee orders coming right up till September. I'm seriously thinking of placing a few more orders for those burgers. My OH thinks I'm mad but these wee top up orders take a lot of pressure off and keep the freezers full. Not to mention the bellies AND the purses:rotfl::rotfl:

Oh wasn't going to order any more meat for a while as have stacks in the freezer (most of it from DR, I might add) but now you have said £9.80 for 16 burgers, Mothership - how can I resist? (Oh I do need to code though, so, urm, if you could kindly let me have it, I would be forever grateful:D)

Am in a bit of a predicament at the moment. Now my new shopping budget starts this weekend and I have worked it out that I have £56.20 per week to spend. Now after buying from MunniMart last week I owe my SP £41.63 and my TP £32.25. Now if I am doing my sums right that adds up to a whopping £73.88:eek: which is more than my budget. Now do I:

1) Pay everything back in one go and have less of a budget each week after spreading the difference over 4 weeks?

or

2) Pay off some to my 2nd and 3rd purses and keep some back til next week (which will then have increased from purchases that I will make during this week coming)

or

3) Just pay back, say, 2nd purse and leave 3rd purse until I have money left over in weekly budget?

Many thanks - I know you wonderful people:A will work out the best way for me to do it.

Oh, just thought of a 4th thing

Just pay back all of my budget for next week to 2nd and some to 3rd purses (leaving me with no money to buy anything from the SM's and just manage on what I have in). Think I will only need bread and milk as am still rammed to the rafters with food

Promotional code spr12e4518 <--- DR 20% code, cant be used with the burgers though cant even get a free delivery to work with the burger deal

Mothership

Use this link for the burger deal... Remember to click through to DR
via quidco then open this link.

http://www.donaldrussell.com/classic...ode=spr12e4430

I just clicked through it says the link is broken. Bear with me gonnie try something else.

If you do the quidco thing, then go to DR website key in Classic Steak Burgers, when you get to check out enter spr12e4430 you still get the quidco commission. The burgers work out at £12.60 with the quidco commission.

The 20% off and free delivery is working on the butchers specials and the online specials thats spr12e4518. Remember the quidco thing , that way you get 30% off and free delivery,
It works with the mince , just tried it 20% off and free delivery + !0% quidco £20.98 for 8 packs. HTH

Mothership you have dots in your link. Try writing "here" highlighting the here then clicking on the link icon which will bring up a dialog box, copy the link into that and submit. (You probably already know this).

I'm attempting to make some tomato and basil foccacia from my AF order, it's Mr M mix, hoping it'll be more successful than my last attempt at bread.

I think if it was me, I'd do option 3. If you get to the end of the week and have any money left over from your grocery budget, you could use that to pay off some of what you owe to your 3rd purse.

I have settled up with SP again....I get confuzzled if I dont do it often and since I am using real cash (dont remember the last time I used my PIN in a shop), I have to do it when I have a bit of cash available!

I have tweaked the system to suit me so I owed Sallys Stores £6.00 - £3 for DR ribeye for tea, £1.00 for puddings (I am charging myself 50p for a pud in the hopes it will help me cut back) and £2 for 2 home made meals ate that I had previously stored in the freezer (in the hope it will encourage me to use up the freezer contents).

So now my SP is back up to its £30 float and 3rd Purse
has £71 :T
