    Evening everyone :)

    Quick dash on, home late, and want to get to T's....

    Many congratulations Emmlouie, on gaining your degree :D

    Results from price check on the pasta's I bought yesterday:
    2 x TESCO 4 CHEESE TORTELLONI 300G £ 2.50 * £ 3.10
    1 x TESCO BEEF & RED WINE RAVIOLI 300G £ 1.25 * £ 1.55
    1 x T. CHEDDAR CHSE,GAR & HERB T/LONI 300G £ 1.25 * £ 1.55
    so you stand a very good chance with the spinach and ricotta of comparing at £1 as per A's website yesterday. But do check the current price!

    Note that the offer price was used by T's for the comparison, not the full price.

    laters....

    Would never have gone on TV talking about our cottage industry

    The rule was, if they sold the product they would take the coupon, so you could buy Andrex loo roll and hand over a heinz tomato soup coupon :)

    wow :eek::eek::eek: i wish I had known that back then. how long did it last for? seems a pretty stupid idea from Mr T, but then again they're quite thick there, that's why we love them:D:D:D

    Good afternoon everyone, not been around much today, been very busy!

    My guesses for the future MSE'rs are:

    Tiger cub - 21st July 03.15hrs
    Logie babs - 9th July 10.57hrs

    Sadly I too was excited to be included on Karlie's list!

    Bananababe - so glad that there is still honest people around!

    Clipstrip Bargains - good luck with the interview. I remember two very contrasting ones, my civil service interview was a board interview, sat there facing 4 people across the table, questions coming from everyone. At the end though the person I ended up working for said he would show me around the offices "where you will be working":T:T Another one was my last job where the shop manager had asked me to apply, the interview consisted of "when can you start"!!

    Just remember they asked you to attend for the interview, so they must like the look of your CV!

    Beki - congratulations on setting the date!

    emmlouie - well done on passing your degree!

    Now - I need a glitch in an Express! We have a new one just opened, went to try to spend £6 to get my £2 off and did not get very far, just could not spend enough! The only way I can do it is with a glitch before 7th July! (Voucher end date!)
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    OEP, free toilet roll due to DTD, and free honey Shreddies after coupons, all less than 12 months ago :)

    I had forgotten all about the shreddies one

    Do you remember the Sacla sauces as well ?

    It was that way for years, but this was before internet coupons were widely available, so most coupons came from magazines/newspapers so it was rare to have more than 3 or 4 coupons per shop, I think it was the advent of internet coupons that stopped the willy nilly taking of them.

    My first glitch was not a glitch as such but savvy couponing

    Early in 2011 there was a £1.00 off Dove deodorant PDF coupon. At the time Dove deodorant was in T for £2.10 bogof. This meant that for weeks on end you could get 2 deodorants for 10p.

    This was my first real stash which i am still using today

    :j:j:j

    I'm on my last tin of this :(

    I really need a new antiperspirant glitch - before the Dove I was using the ones I got from T's for silly price (can't recall how much, probably 20p:eek: ) when they were selling off a range. I am now nearly finished my tin of Dove and have had to pay 49p for a roll-on :eek:

    A big thank you to the person who posted up the kodak paper deal in argos the other day. Collected my 2 packs today. Went through bogof without problems. Just used it and it prints nice too.

    Excellent, thanks! :)
