    Nor will I let on that Wilkinsons have every variety of galaxy chocolate at 50p, Robinsons summer fruits juice is also 50p as are pampers baby wipes, kitchen towel and parazone bleach ( But they are all limited to a maximum of 6 per customer)
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

  • Marilyn, don't forget things like soap-powder, softener, lady needs, deodorant, toilet roll, cleaning stuff, toothpaste, soap etc, they can take a big chunk from a tight budget and as has been said before, you do not get that sort of thing in a food bank and benefits can take anything from a month to over three months to kick in, so try to have enough savings to pay your rent/mortgage and bills for at least three months. Even if you find a job you have to wait for a month to six weeks before you get paid.

    I've got my cardboard box ready so going to start Christmas hoarding. Only thing is I can't buy nicies cos they wont last 2 minutes.
    So basically will start buying things I don't really like lol.

    I'm going to do a cat stock up too, cos just thought if it gets hard to get a Tesco delivery I will be stuck for geting cat litter, so better stock up on the heavy stuff.

    Talking of deoderants has anyone else tried Tesco's value one?
    I think it was 26p, somehting like that, and honestly it's really good. I was suprised.
    These sort of things I wouldnt normally try, their conditioner is ok too, think that was about 30p. Also tried their tomato sauce, 19p I think (sorry not got prices to hand, but all very cheap) and its a huge squeezy bottle and its quite nice.

    I know it is not stock cupboard,
    but has anyone noticed the price of Pringles this year? £2.49 a tub :eek:
    They only last 5 minutes in my house once opened. Unless they go on a VERY GOOD offer somewhere, we will not be having them this Christmas. :(

    Morrisons have then 2 for £4, but that is still a bit much for me.
    That's shocked me! I am sure I paid £1 maybe 3 Christmases ago.
    No way they are worth that much. :eek:
