Hi could someone please tell me if I have this right? I buy robinsons squash 1.75 litre from Ts, it compares with S's & I get a petrol coupon for 10p off from the till?

Might be worth waiting until Wednesday or Thursday after price change over day and the prices on mys have been updated properly

Ah think I'll just get it in T's then and finish my shopping from yesterday and get the things that I couldn't buy as they would knock my JTD off! Got a couple more coupons to use and then it's def no spend days after that!

This is the time Mt Crunch will erupt tonight.

2 purchased = 1 fuel voucher.

JTD capped at £10 refund, so only buy maximum of 6 at a time.

Some flavours don't compare, search the thread for what does.

To get a JTD you have to buy at least 8 different items, and if you don't want your JTD reduced, you need to buy the other items that also cost the same at S's, or are only slightly different.

Thank you does that mean I can use 5 10p off coupons at once? So I get 50p off a litre

Well after OH's failed T trip, which took me some time to recover from I managed to get out of my poorly bed and go to local T at 7pm last night as needed to get pull ups for DS2 as he's decided he likes his potty (and winky!) this weekend.

There was probably a dozen customers, very unhappy staff, except for the whoopsie sticker lady! I'll remember her.:T I asked if she had noticed an increase in people going for the cheap items, since it's been advertised so much, she said nope it's been as busy for the 5 years. She said she has been physically pushed out the way by customers whilst she has been trying to carry out her job :eek: lots of times people taking food from other trollys, lots of arguments and she gets shouted at regularly. I said she should get extra money for what sounds like a difficult job. She said you get used to it.

I have to say I thought this was awful. She was very kind to me and although she was checking for reductions on the flowers she was more than happy to check prices on my basket full. £20 worth if fruit n veg for £1.40! Nothing in meat though, I'll def be going down similar time next week.

So I also managed a pork shop, chicken shop, and several juice n mayo/quaver shops and delighted to receive my JTDs coming in. Thank you for all your help.

The pork was delicious with whoopsie jacket, veg and cream with whoopsie mushrooms! Yummy!

The chicken has loads of meat and has sorted several meals and sandwich fillings, stock made overnight in slow cooker and now making chicken n mushroom soup with whoopsie mushrooms! I've got two left in the fridge and two in the freezer. It'll feed this family of 5 for a good while!

No price flops still in B@rnst@ple stores, nor have I seen the elusive mags with car coupons, but you can't win them all.

I'll be spending this evening planning a £40 pound shop for tomorrow for as little as I can.

We've had both Asda and Morrisons planning to come here for some time. They've been battling it out, asda if it finally manages to arrive will be making Asda homes village, it'll be quite lovely to finally get these bargains you guys often talk about. Not worth me travelling ten miles each way to my next nearest Asda.

Hope you guys are all well, I'm off to get ready to watch Tom diving!

How do you make stock, do you just chuck the bones in the slow cooker ?

Literally chuck it in the slow cooker with jug full of water, I put it I last night about 6pm for 12 hrs on slow, then this morning it fell apart, picked out some chunks of chicken, strained through sieve, added to fried garlic, onions, flour and mushrooms and chucked back into slow cooker with the final bits of chicken left over. Will have is with h/m bread
