Morning! ...still seem to be making lunches even in the holidays

Izzyb - yes the Father's Day 'stuff' has been reduced - pint glasses were 37p a week ago and I did see masses of them out (no sel) in my shop a day ago. The big choc coins were marked as down to £1, but that was with a double reduction so I think they are on the way down.

also yesterday DD got several metal Me-to-you 'best friends' keyrings bc 1592 light blue packaging for 20p each. Says £5 on the clip strip, but there was a white sel for 20p labeled '2 part key ring' on the shelf. Good for youngish girly birthday presents!

and wombled a £10 note! ...holding out til Thursday for any sort of shop though...

Fudge_Cake your quiche looked AMAZING!! :T

Thanks a lot Laura Cello - I will head back after work, and maybe leave the hidden coins a little longer:) (or until they fix the scanner).

This has got to be an 11+ challenge £40 spend at T on Thursday. Using whatever cs, mocs, flops whatever, etc etc you can lay your hands on, HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

Net spend after confirmed jtd .....

Just home with a boot full of beer. Had to hunt for the mags, but found 'a few'. Bought 7 pack of 4 bottles. £21. Less £10.50 vouchers, so paid £10.50. It £10 BM back. They did not have any more bottles left so I bought 6 packs of shandy. And some hair colourant ( £4). Used £6 coupons and £10 BM voucher. Had to pay £6 but got another £10 BM back. So ( I think) I have paid £2.50 for 28 bottles of beer and 36 cans of shandy. Not bad!!

Does anyone know where I can buy 4XL & 5XL shirts on the high street. I really can't be bothered with online shopping and that Jacamo website is just horrible.:(

Afternoon!

Just wanted to check what everyone is spending the shirnk wrapped vouchers on. I'm using the £1 pizza on the the pizza it is supposed to and the lenor voucher on the £1 mini bottles they sell, so free lenor.

but I have seen people using them on the £2 larger bottles on offer and also mention of use of the Ariel voucher. What is considered the best deal?

thanks to begin with i could'nt find any of the OJ with bits but went back again before i paid & moved a few bottles & found the last 3 .DH was in a bit of a mood & i had gone in quickly so didnt think were else they might have had them so i'll remember this

went into Tawxtra as well but still no cello mag:(

I think i have been in near enough every store in Somerset and most of Devon as well - haven't hit Plymouth area (yet!!) but from what i can gather none in that area either. Also have had OH trawling for me and none from Gloucester area across to Sherborne and back round to us again - so tbh doesn't look like any landed in our area in the first place.

If you come this way again give me a shout and we could get together and maybe, just maybe we might get something right between us :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Can't see anything wrong with this, but if your Robinsons are different flavours then they will count as different items, so may reduce the amount of extra bits you need to meet the 8 item citeria

I've still got a £6 off £40 spend and have just been doing my list - hope nothing is OOS cos I'm going in a min (I dont need to wait til Thurs). It's not amazing and I will be beaten but if it all goes to plan, my £41.48 shop will cost (after MOC's, cond. spend, JTD) = £12.49
Will report back in a while.

Ta.

There are no £1 lenor bottles in any T's near me so think getting the larger bottles for only £1 after coupon is good value.
I only used Ariel vouchers today as knew I was getting DTD I don't really know the best way to use them sorry x
