    Would this work:

    8x flora buttery =£15.50
    5x vouchers £1 off £3 spend on any flora spread
    To pay= £10.50

    JTD= £7.60

    Makes actual spend just £2.90
    Each tub is therefore= 36p

    What do you think?

    Will the flora buttery compare?

    It all depends whether you get a lenient check out operative I suppose!

    Total spend

    I bought 8 Flora buttery yesterday and used 5 price flops with no problem, will let you know if they compare ok when price checks come in :)

    Price checks are in
    Sorry...

    This time, your shop would have been £ 7.60 cheaper at ASDA

    TOTAL£ 15.60£ 8.00
    8 x FLORA BUTTERY 500G £ 15.60 £ 8.00 :j

    Morning peeps,

    Hope everyone is well today and enjoy the weather.

    A couple of quick questions
    Firstly, what items are classed as 'Fresh salad'?
    and second, has anyone used the £1 off baby flop voucher with the double up?
    could you get £10 worth of value baby wipes, use the flop and then the double up? (or the other way round) or do you have to spend £11 and then use the price flop then the double up?
    Can you freeze mushrooms?
    Anyone used the bakery and cakes flops together?

    thinks thats it for now, wont ask about the 1p items as my local is pants

    I've been getting the £1.65 BOGOF mushrooms and a pepper and using the £1 off £3 mushroom and £1 off £4 salad total cost 45p:D

    1.65+1.65+0.80=4.10
    4.10-1.65=£2.45 to pay - 2 x £1 moc

    Was gonna be getting the 49p peppers from Lidl next door but seeing as MrT is selling it to me 4p cheaper plus giving me 1KG of mushrooms free.....:beer:
    :p:p Have a good [STRIKE]Tesc[/STRIKE][STRIKE]Asd[/STRIKE]WHO? day - Err....I still wish Mozzies had a better website even though they are now on MyS! :p:p :rotfl:;)

    I only used to watch Eurovision when Terry Wogan was the presenter (and I'm not the biggest Terry Wogan fan). Some of his jokes were 'pish poor' but his were hilarious. Eurovision was his forte.

    yes, Terry Wogan was far better, his jokes were corny/cheesey but far better than Nortons, his delivery was terrible, he talked over the country reps as they were anouncing the results...awful..

    I spent £55 after discounts but didnt get a petrol voucher -is that right?

    Really should not have spent so much for I was suign up the last of my conditional spends - a £6 wys £40 till spit plus one for a £20 spend that came with the mailing. The next lot dont start until the 11th.

    So I dont have to do any complicated £40 shops this week :T
    Topped up the ice cream today with ts own almond magnums and they have filled the gaps between the Garcias nicely. Also got more apples and oranges. All price flops excepted :)

    I also used up my last £8 odd JTD but hopefuly a few smaller ones in the system to come tommorow.

    Does anyone else think its peculiar that in the olden days how stressful it was using MOCS, wether or not they would scan or be accepted, wether they would take more than one of any one variety etc, forever trying to collect as many different MOCs as possible. Also some stores had 10% or 25% limits even before MOC usage was stopped altogether.

    Now we use price flop MOCs, JTD vouchers and conditional spends all together, usually with very little fuss and get the final totals down far below anything we would have dared to before black Friday :)

    OK, decided to throw myself on your tender mercies!!

    The plant below is the one that has come up from the "tomato" seeds.

    The picture below is some of the seeds I have left from the same packet.

    Anyone know what it is, I just do not seem to have my gardening head on today!!

    Any help would be appreciated, I can then send the pictures to the producer asking why they put xxx seeds in tomato seed packets!
