Hi mhe, I've just bought an electric hand blender from Arg*s for £3.89 and I got all my bread tins from a £shop - I hand bake and use these for the fruit loaves too. Push your luck, see if a £shop will sell you 6 for £5 Slow Cooker was under £10 from Arg*s so you could say I got the lot for under £20 and that included a 3 tier steamer, as it was a free item when Woolies did their 3 for 2 deals - mum bought 2 items, I claimed the freebie :rotfl:

Count me in again!

We are 2 adults and two primary school aged boys, was on £50 a week but have put it down to £40 now they are both having school dinners.

Total spend week 1 £22.29!! But I am trying to empty the chest freezer so I can defrost it, also get rid of fatterning stuff as but on a few lbs over xmas.

Do noy know if I should pay my excess money off my mortgage or put in a fill the freezer fund? Or might try do do with out it for a while.

What is going on with me? also bought make up I dont need (but paid for this with a christmas gift card) and more clothes I dont really need. This was after two glasses of wine when out with the sisters at lunch timeso thats allowed...... isnt it?

NSD for me today. Spent £5.01 last night in Tesco on Bread Flour, Golden Syrup, Walnuts and Coffee. Thinking about it tonight I thought that it was a bit expensive as Golden Syrup was 2 for £1 and Coffee half price. Had a look on receipt and been charged full-price for Coffee:eek:! I would be grateful if anyone would let me know Tesco's policy on this? I'm going to go and complain tomorrow but makes me wonder how many other times I've been over-charged and not noticed.

Going to catch up on the other posts. Hope you're all having a good week.
