I've just been to A$da and they have Lyle's Golden Syrup squeezy bottles 2 for £1 usually £1.38 each so I bought 4 from my purse. Useful for baking and also my son has a squirt on his porrdge for breakfast.

That look's like a great offer:T I might pop down tomorrow and see if I can get some, I use it in flapjacks.

Another NSD to day -just a bit of moving things from purse to purse:)

Have a good day everyone!

Mmm flapjacks, I have loads of oats as well. I might get some too! I've been looking out for a good offer on oats, have found Suma 10kg bag on rainforest, but waiting until I have enough vouchers

I spotted that last night and bought 4 too. DD1 is always baking and uses it all.

This is the kind of thing I look for, for my shop Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara £7.99 on 3 for 2 at B@@ts total cost £15.98. You get £15.00 worth of points back so the 3 mascaras cost you 98p.

I nipped into a small B00ts in the complex by my gym (and right across from the entry to Mr T, which is where I was headed to do my big grocery shop).

They didn't have that one in brown/black (my preference), so I decided to get M@sterpieceM@x instead (£9.99 each). Wasn't sure if there were extra points on this one, but decided to chance it as even the 2000 calorie one wasn't marked as having in store - and yes, I got them :T

So £19.98 for 3 mascaras (£6.66 each), and £15 of points on my card to use for something whenever (to be honest, I rarely shop there for 'standard' toiletries, so my points tend to accumulate until I feel like pampering myself with some high-end make-up - or expenive perfume - for a special night out).

I didn't mind paying that for the mascara, as it's the only item of makeup I tend to wear if I feel the need to wear any at all - and as the ones I've got are (mostly) cheap and nasty ones (apart from one very expensive one which is saved for special times) I don't tend to bother as often as I'd perhaps like due to having very pale eyelashes.

Well I've been wondering what they are, as I just have a cast iron casserole dish my Dad bought me that I use. I have no idea what make it is. So I went on their website and lo' behold I spot a beautiful butter dish gahhhh!!! £20!!! I was going to buy one in Mr S the other day but thought £4 was a bit steep, now I am craving one for 5x the price

Hi Rosielady - welcome this is a fun challenge and we are all learning - there are some fab links that Kerri has put on the first page

Hi Rosielady, I shall add you straight away do you have a set item you'd like to have as your goal? Some of us also have setup shop names for fun, so you're welcome to put your thinking cap on if you'd like.
Welcome to the thread and happy bargain hunting. Beating the SMs at their own game

Just found the butter dish is on rainforest going to save up my SB rainforest vouchers for it.
