Go and get some horse muck and/or some seaweed from the high tide line if you are near the sea and put a very healthy covering on top of the trench. You'll get some wonderful spuds.

Thanks - may try the seaweed :T

we spent weeks sprouting potatoes in trays, then ploughed, weeded, added manure, rotavated, ridged up with tractor and planted,
then you tell me all we needed to do was dig a trench and bung in old spuds :eek:
why did you not tell me earlier.:rotfl::rotfl:

you only had to ask :rotfl::rotfl:♥

Just had a £1.50 frozen beef joint for dinner. Was a bit tough lol ! Either I cooked it for too long or there's a reason these are being phased out :rotfl:

I found a kindred bargain hunter spirit today:T, I was talking to the lady in the Post Office, I've known her a while and she was telling me about her clothes bargains lol and how she's proud that she never pays full price for anything!:beer:

So I said to her "funny you should say that , I am an extreme bargain hunter lol I hardly ever pay for any food and have cupboards full of [STRIKE]random[/STRIKE] great stuff for almost nothing!"

It's nice to know there are more of us out there!

:T:T:T

The best discounts are usually anytime after 7pm depending on your store, some discounts are cancelled out with multibuys but you need to look out for the following type of "double" discount...

3 for £10 or 4 for £12

on the label. If it only says 2 for £5 for example then that usually will not work on multibuys.

It doesn't have to be that particular amount but it must have two different levels of discount on one item as highlighted above.

I'm not great at explaining but I hope that makes sense!

See here for an example that is known to work ...

Good job it does too, these are rank!

Oh it will also take money off your shopping too if the items are cheap enough so be careful!

Ooh, let's think:

As previously suggested by my good self in a national newspaper some years ago (it was good for a bottle of champagne at the time), a poodle parlour for small children. Drop 'em off scruffy, pick 'em up gleaming....

For the Woody Allen fans: 5 minutes in the Orgasmatron, while we pack your shopping and lose all your MOCs. (We have more than one way of .. ahem.. distracting you)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

What a shopping trip that would be, :T:T:T:T

You just did!

No thanks needed, the multibuy / whoopsie issue is a bit random at the best of times so I can only go with my own experience.

A few weeks back there was a glut of strawberries it seems on bogof and I got 8 boxes whoopsied at 52p each and bogof too! And I paid the bill with a wombled price check so free!!

:j

Bogofs often don't work on whoopsies though but sometimes they do.

The problem is often finding enough of the same whoopsied items to take advantage! I was so pleased to finally find 3 of the tapas at 50p each so after discount they were free, just as well they went straight in the bin :eek: not often I waste food but they were gross!

Totally OT
Words fail me. If you have been following my Dolphin adventure you will know what I am talking about.
Tom was spotted of the coast of Kusadasi. There is a dolphinarium in this area, the staff where spotted trying to entice Tom with dead fish into the park. Luckily Born Free have been tracking and foloowing both Misha and Tom. Misha is about 30 miles away. The Dolphin Angels have there own solicitor in Turkey who donated her time to us and she has drawn up some legal docs to stop this happening again. RANT OVER sry.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
