Put aside the £'s you are saving each month and show her the amount after a couple of months. She'll come around

Fully agree, my OH was spending at least £150 a week on the main shop and did a couple of other shops to supplement it. He admits that we spend a fraction of what he used to spend now I am doing the shopping.

He still does not understand why I spend so much time planning what i am buying. He's on a high income, I don't need to work, however, I grew up in a poor family and we could not afford anything and I think finding the best deal is embedded in me, I can't just buy what I want, I have to think I am getting the best deal. I get a buzz from getting a bargain

Nothing glamorous but i am very happy. Been at home with LO for 5 years and decided it is time to find work now. My priority was to take to/from school and be there for him during holidays/i dont like the idea of babysitter/. I just walk past his school 2 days ago,thought i will ask and bingo,meal supervisor position has just been vacated that day. Extremely happy,job tailor made for me.

Well done You :T

Completely understand where your coming from, I lurked for ages and my DH really used to get the hump with me disappearing to T's all the time;)In fact at one time I think he thought i was having an affair:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:But now he loves it, he loves all the glitches and today he couldnt wait to tell me the milk & more man had delivered and he was desperate to open my cotton traders parcel. When he moaned once in the early days I said ok fine,I won't go on the board anymore and I won't do anymore glitches and you'll have to pay more towards food and stuff. He thought about it for 1/2 hour and then thought better of it;)
Can't you persuade her to join in a bit when you go, or better still pick up some girlie glitches to sweeten her a bit. My DH got really keen after he did the beer glitch on his own, and I always give him loads of praise if he gets a glitch himself, keeps him happy;);)

Ditto Nikki - as you know my OH now posts & loves the thread as much as I do

this post means a lot to me, as my wife is always asking me what im typing. im sure she thinks im having an affair. i always say you can read what i post if you like. so why do i feel guilty when im on this site in front of her.:(

I can see where she is coming from as the thread takes at least a few hours a day to read & keep up, so could be misconstrued

nikkilala, have you been to any T's near Rickmansworth. There are not many my way but I know there is one in Ricky, looks like it is near the Aquadrome, was thinking of checking it out. Have you been there?

misery guts used to think that, until he came shopping with me and witnessed my t prowess in full swing. He was even happier when he found the mars bars all by himself!

Now he asks me what t's are up to :rotfl:

*waves at Mrs Zippy*

i am sure we all agree its not only the money, its the buzz of getting something below general sale price. (hopefully free)

I second what Snap-ant has said, ebay seems so expensive these days, I'm finding more bargains in Ts these days.

Of course I have:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:that's one of my secret backup ones;)It's not that big, and no SS but I have had one or two ;)glitches in there. I always used to be able to rely on it for a rack of lamb or betty crocker on the old DTD;)Never had any trouble with coupons in there and might:cool:have had the odd dtd in there too.
