    All my money saving ways seem to go out of the window when the kids are back from uni. Is any one else the same?

    Kind of, yes..... but then, it's because we love having them home!

    Also being told that the food we've eaten for the last 5 nights will be "his" food from "his" freezer..... ummm, and who buys him lots of food and donates it to him for free when he's away? and saves glitches for him?.... I'm sure I could have eaten lindt eggs, TCO's, TPO's and OEP, NikNaks etc etc and not given him any!!! lol

    Long time lurker first time poster, never find things to report lol, but I think I have now. Not sure if this is taking the p too much but here is my story,,,

    I purchsed some camping gear using my double up points exchange and purchased an extra bag to round up the points. When I went to collect it I said I dont want this one can I refund it. SA said yes and gave me a voucher for the original price of the bag. So the amount I got back was double what I had paid for it, IYSWIM.

    I am not sure if this is normal practice or just a one off but I was pleased with the result :j
  • Think our Mr T's has remembered how to reduce things again most things the OH brought home tonight were 95% off :T including finest ham hock pie 2 pk for 25p :j yay!

    Made up for hubby getting cheese scones and us not noticing until we'd put the jam and cream on and started eating them :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Sounds familiar midwinter! My DD seemed to bring back most of the packet stuff she took away in September.
    Today I had to go out and buy real proper full price chicken breasts for the first time in ages. Ouch!
