    You need some bright orange or lime green post it notes. Label each at the top eg
    Asda v Tesco
    Asda v Morrisons
    Sainsburys v Asda
    sainsburys V Tesco

    So then your desk has 8 or 9 post it notes stuck to it and as each offer is confirmed or suggested you just add the items to the right list.

    Also put at the bottom of the sainsburys list £20 to remind you. At the bottom of the tesoc and Asda list put your 8 items to make the totals up eg - onion, carrot, bottle of water, banana etc


    Thank you, that's a great idea. Can we see a photo of your desk please?

    Windows 7 plus dual screen plus "Sticky Notes" = Organised :D

    My voucher folder is a right mess though even with 10 compartments! :D

    Where 4p & Snap ant ? I want to know that Mr p got on okay at the vets.
    Skinny cat got the thumbs up but if still not eating properly after 2 weeks has to go back for blood tests

    :) Thanks for asking - Mr P has got himself a 'lizard' tongue :( he's sliced it on something but he's had painkillers & antibiotics & looks & smells better already :) We managed to get him into carrying box but he escaped :eek::eek: but my sister took over & got him back in - phew. It seems when he was at the Vets he was rolling around showing off his huge white belly to the Vet :rotfl:
    Pleased Skinny cat is doing well ♥

    Angelsmadv - thank you for your very elegant explanation. Very clear thinking.
    6 of the Robinsons will be heading home with me.

    So all people have to do is think about the capacity - in litres - of their tanks, and use that to calculate whether it is worth their while.
    Then not fill up until they are as close to empty as they dare, and have as many of the 'up to 5' vouchers as they think are worth getting. [and take the spare fuel can with them.....]
    arghhh!!!

    Good News Indeed!

    4 Mayo at Mr T = £9. 4 Mayo at Sainsbobs = £3.80 = £5.20 JTD.

    So by my reckoning, that is 8 Mayo from Mr T
    7 x different cheap value items for less than £1.

    Total Paid = £19. JTD capped at £10. Two Petrol vouchers = £8 (using £4 per voucher).

    Pay £1 for 8 lots of Mayo, 19 clubcard points and 7 value items :D Job Jobbed. :D :A

    Repeat >>> :money:

    Genius!

    Can this be done at SS?
    Anyone know if the SS machines kick out petrol vouchers?

    I use a mini photo album, £1 for 2 in Asda. Only problem is if I forget to take out the relevant coupon before the checkout, I have to get the thing out in front of SA and queue of customers, while everyone looks at me flicking through it in a massive fluster :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

    Trust me you would not like to see my desk, it would be condemed as being very unhygenic.
    As well as the array of post it notes, now joined by a new one entitled "petrol coupons list" there is a very large black tom cat plonked in the middle of it with an odd skin condition/nervous condition so there is also black car hair and smears of Aloe Vera as well ;)
