I can't believe around 18 months ago I used to spend £120-£150 a week for 2 of us (and the cat) :eek::eek:

Holy smoked sausage I mean mackerel :eek:
We still spend a lot, about £100 a fortnight for 4 of us, though can rise to more when we have run out of certain bulk/big buys or when we have friends round etc. Oh and £50 a month at butchers so around £250 a month. Sometimes its less. I like those months

I do a very similar dish but lay some cod at the bottom of the dish then cover it with the tomato and pepper mixture. I then put grated mozarella on top and cook for 15 mins.....its a slimming dish...found it in a WW cookbook !

This sounds delicious. Thank you. Will give it a try

Apologies that i've only managed to dip in and out recently and been very much a lurker (haven't been in Tactos nearly as much as I used to atm as stockpile is very much stocked) and life is pretty hectic atm, but I just wanted to post and give my love and hugs to 3Dogs (and Mr 3Dogs of course) you are both so incrediably brave and your love for each other is clearly immense. Your current journey is brining lots of memories back for me albeit a slightly different scenario, and that just makes your positivity and strength all the more inspiring. xx

Have fun

Just a couple tips for putting points on from me is to use different stores if convenience to you. And also to put points on early in the morning when there's only 1 member of staff there and the same late in the evening. That way you don't get recognized:D and also the odd disguise:cool::cool::rotfl:

Can you get points put on at Tesco Express stores?

I've got about 15 price promises back over 2 email addresses...all with decent amounts on!

What is going on?

I had an accidental DTD the other day in my local (Gemini_Jes you know which store - the one with no bargains!)

Rentokil Fly Trap flower stickers :T:T:T the ones that were scanning at 1p a while back, sad as it is I remembered the bc (441) and took them from a clipstrip :T priced at 75p :eek:. The clipstrip was hanging right next to more in a box with different bc 448 priced at £3.06 :eek:

Scanner wasn't working so I grabbed them and gave OH my smug face , hoping to God they were 1p - but no - they were £2.00!:T:T:T Even better! OH had already left me at the SS as I was getting sausages and doing some extreme couponing, poor bloke had to wait for ages while I went to CS to claim my DTD!:T

He is learning fast!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hopefully the fly stickers will be mispriced at 75p elsewhere and I can share the love ;):D

Was that the Ll7ns*%met store Smat1e ?

Got my chairs and went to an extra at Orpington - didn't find anything fun, going to somewhere called purely next which the Tom Tom tells me is on the way home!
It's going to be a late one
What's the score?

Another question. When printing price checks how is best to do it?
Right now my settings are 90% so I only get one per sheet. Surely there must be a better way to do it?

Off to T's to escape footy bye for now

Evening everyone,
Just wanted to come on to say a huge thank you to Nikkilala you are an :A present gratefully received.

I have also got price checks tonight for ones that I have printed but not used yet, wonder how many more we will receive

Went shopping tonight and got some points put on my card and someone in front was getting dtd on the finest meal deal. I have had a look online and they had a twin pack sponge pudding that I can't see in the meal deal. Other than that they got chicken kiev, creamed spinach and finest Pl De Diu Cts Du Rhone Villages. HTH
