HELP!

Could someone please tell me which pork to get with the chicken?
Plus if my store doesn't stock the pork, can I get 2 chickens instead?
Do I have to put 7 other different items, like value herbs & stock cubes with it? plus I cant remember if there is a minimum spend.

Sorry I thought it was too complicated, but I do really want to try it!

This is the pork.

Click on the second image to see it in pack. DO NOT get chops, it has to be loins.
Yes you would have to get at least 7 other different items if you are buying just the chickens.

No minimum spend.

I am sure someone put a list up yesterday that said the coffee compared to MrA but I don't think it was as good a comparison as MrS

If you are doing a Tesco V Asda shop..

There is no minimum spend
minimum of 8 different items must b bought
JTD vouchers are capped at £10

so... buy the pork loin
buy the chicken
buy 6-8 cheap items, noodles, stock cubes, onion, carrot, banana, etc etc.

?????????? I just thought they were calling themselves skipping club because the thread was running too fast to read everything and do other things. Am I missing something?

Hello
I know fromreading this thread for the past couple of weeks, you help the newbies and thickoslike me,but i just dont seem to understand.
If you are trying to do jtd do the things have to be cheaper in only 1 other store or can they be mixed or do i have to do different shops. If youknow what i mean.

Hi and welcome..some good advice given to you already..you may already know this but compare your shopping at http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/ the easiest way to see the prices of an item at different supermarkets is to scroll down to the price of the item and then left click..it brings up all the prices..I find this usefull but maybe others have a better method.

Not missing anything, skipping club often includes brief updates on things mentioned here too. Some of us just can't keep up and have to "skip"

If anyone on my facebook wants to be added to skipping club, pm me your facebook name and I will add you - soon as I get chance!! Search for MSE Skipping Club on MSE and I think you can see who the members are and you could PM anyone on there to add you I am sure. It is not a "clique", just another meeting place.
