    Having the BBQ was a big kick up the back side to get my stash even more organised, don't know why I didn't think of hanging all my nuts in a bag on a hook in the larder before now. Must have been the adrenalin running as would have died of embarrasment of how much food was in front of the back door in boxes and bags. :o

    Have never admitted on here that it was actually IN FRONT of the back door think I have always said by the back door. :o:o:o

    Anyway you will all be pleased to hear my health and safety risk is now all under a kitchen top which we cleared of some other carp and I can now get in and out to the garden without having to go out the front door and around to the back of the house. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    And have FINALLY off loaded some of my Boots vitamins. :T

    Took OHs cousin upstairs to see my wine and beer, fizzy waters, cleaning stuff and vits/shots stash. And her OH filled his pockets with few pots of vitamins and went back outside rattling it was sooo funny. :D

    You could tell I had been partaking of alcohol as don't think I would have ever taken them up there in a sober state. ;)

    On this receipt did it match Asda versus Tesco to get the biggest difference?

    Also any outstanding items with big price differences?

    Yes 82p cheaper in tesco. No big items apart from multi vits and haliborange..10 quid in asda, 6.95 in T's.

    I know what you mean about tesco's on a sunny day. Went yesterday afternoon (to avoid the BBQ hordes in the morning). Worked to a degree but the store was srtipped! Like Christmas Eve! Messed up my £50 conditional spend shop no end (thank goodness i found some DTD batteries). Now I'm thinking that if I'm feeling like this, then others might be too and there could be good whoopsies. Decisions decisions!

    Nearly got trouted on my double up vouchers as miserable SA queried whether I'd spent enough in the right dept. Surely they wouldn't scan if I hadn't?

    Anyway, she did manage to take away my light bulbs, citing health and safety. I immediately went back to the shelf and entire shelf was being cleared so they are on the ball in there. If anybody wants to check, it was Tesco energy saving small screw mini globes pack of 2, £1.52. 18w equivalent to 24w.

    They are the same price with an rtc sel in my local superstore

    I have used 6 in one go and A took them all without any problem. Ony issue was that the SA noticed that 5 of the receipts had the same date, and thought I was either barking mad to have shopped on 5 separate occasions on the same day or barking mad to be out there collecting up discarded receipts. I can live with that :D. Kind of depends on whether you are bothered about staying under the radar or not :)

    It would be tricky not to fall foul of this.......

    20.The number of claims is limited to 10 per calendar month per household and the total amount that can be claimed is limited to £100 per calendar month per household.

    To get this to work imo would require using lots of small APG's and a 5 off 40 to produce 1 large APG and then repeat this till you had a few large ones to put together. A lot of mucking about though I think.

    Just did a £41 shop and got it down to £4.22 after doubling up £15 worth of vouchers, moc's and a jtd.

    Jtd expected back £4.42 :)

    Also got loads of whoopsied fruit and veg for £4

    No BBQ meat left on shelves and virtually no ice cream or lollies left :eek:.

    And the £5 off £40 spend moc's are only valid for next weekend :(

    Good afternoon - went to T's to use the last of this batch of coupons so we are well stocked up with fruit, veg cakes and ice cream and I did find the mushroom on bogof that I had missed - they were nowhere near the other mushrooms so going to look for some mushroom recipes. Will have to look back for the post on the new flop coupons to see what opportunities we have with them. I think this batch of flop coupons have been brill hope MrT gives us fruit and veg ones again.

    My biggest womble apg was for £9.97 I definitely get more back from A waste than T's waste

    Hope you are all enjoying this wonderful sunshine, we are waiting until it has cooled a little and going for a nice walk after tea
