Hi everyone! Just wanted to say i think this is a great thread- thank you!http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/forum_smilies/angel-smiley-002.gif
Just thought I would share my bargains for the day- I went into boots with a gift voucher thinking it was £10 but turned out to be £25:) soo i stocked up on:

Dove Intensive shampoo and conditioner 2 for £4 x2 (I find these to be excellent, I decided to downgrade from expensive £10 shampoos etc in november and my hair feels lovely)

Palmolive mens shower gel at half price-£0.82 x2

Palmolive hand wash @ half price- £0.87 x 2

Nivea Invisible anti perspirant spray for men 250ml (reduced from £3.09)- £1.54

Palmolive shower gel @half price- £0.79p

Gillette razors triple blade (x3 in pack, normal price £5.25) - £2.62

Also called into Mr A to try and get some nappies in the baby event with no joy but did pick up x6 packs of branston baked beans for £6:)

My bf thinks Im insane looking for deals all the time!

spreadsheet if you'd like to be able to edit and don't mind PMing me your email address then I will add permissions I don't want to make it so any old tom can edit as they might saboutage it You can use the little arrows to sort and doing so showed me we have several different offers for shreddies!

Do you need a specific programme to update the spreadsheet?

Thanks for the recommendation - might give this try. Think my hubby thinks I have lost the plot a little as well

Nope it's google docs which means anyone including mac users can update it as it's all on t'interweb

Just been to Mr W, Mr T, Mr Budgins, Mr MS and come back with some lovely reduced rolls for lunches next week and probably the week after. I tutted as I walked round the shops as I know most of the figures on the spreadsheet and how much other shops were selling things at

Oh dear you're not planks at all, I'm just a bit obscure.

Anyway, as promised here is the spreadsheet if you'd like to be able to edit and don't mind PMing me your email address then I will add permissions I don't want to make it so any old tom can edit as they might saboutage it You can use the little arrows to sort and doing so showed me we have several different offers for shreddies!

It looks fabby...........................I'll leave the editing to you

Got 5 packs of beans from Mr A's then went into the C**P and bragged off LOL


ETA: My OH has just moaned at me that I was supposed to saving money on shopping and I have come home with some thing nearly every day :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: He really doesn't get it

I've just spent the evening on mysupermarket (headache now!) and am getting my big monthly shop from te$co they seemed to have the best offers by about £13 for what i wanted! I managed to get some sirloin steak to treat hubby (he's been sleeping rough in a barn for a month :eek:) when he gets home next week! So that was £20 :eek: but then the rest of the shopping was around £50....

Bargains i saw were:
Tilda long grain rice (better than half price) £1- 500g
2 medium chickens 1.6kg 2 for £7 (usually £5 each)
Spaghetti 1kg- £1
flora buttery 500g- £1.95 BOGOF.

Please tell me if they are cheaper elsewhere as i will cancel before tuesday and buy somewhere else lol!

Oh just checked and steak was actually £12 not sure where i got £20 from lol. and £40 for the rest. and will stick to my store and ald1 for top ups
