quick question peeps....what do we do if we "cough cough" find a receipt with a clubcard used but cant "remember" the last digit of our clubcard ?

do you have to try 1, then 2, then 3 leaving a day between each ? sorry to sound dim but i havent actually used the price pooper since they dded the clubcard bit

also saw in Mr T today for those with loreal mocs the smaller 150ml tins of mens deo are £2.50 each or 2 for £3.00 so if you have 2 mocs they are free.

I haven't done it but from what I've read I think thats correct but you don't need to leave a day inbetween just hit the back button and change the digit and try again until its accepted

My S's still being generous with the beers. Bought 5 packs £15, 2 packs of Naploina spaghetti £2.95 each (BOGOF in Tesco) came to £20.90p. After the vouchers I paid £3 and got a £10 back!! The till assistant was very impressed. She had so kindly put my coupons in as an override 1 by 1 too!

ok, I have been debating for a while whether to ask this... but you're all so helpful I am praying that someone will have some fantastic suggestion....

Basically I volunteer for an animal rescue who rely on donations and fundraising. It's been going since 2003 and we've always done well.

However, recently donations have become less and less and things are now at a critical point The lady (now my friend) who owns the rescue has done all she can and I've done my best to support her with thinking of ways to raise money etc and sending her my tesco goodies my friend always puts the animals first and often goes without so I send these things her way, and try and donate to the rescue when I can, but it's not enough anymore and things are very bad

So.... I was wondering, does anyone have any ideas on ways to raise some much needed cash? Or are there any secret millionaires out there that would care to sponsor us!? :rotfl:

Hi Magicowen

Thanks QPR10 - thanks to FK i have many a coupon so I will use them to buy what I can for the car boot - do things like Lenor and that sell well then I take it?
I shall check with receptionist at work tomorrow - I've left now - but it def should have gone out recorded, fingers crossed it will get through the letterbox tomorrow!

Thanks everyone again for the ideas, I'm frantically googling for local businesses that may help and if anyone knows of any fields to rent in the South Shields area it would be much appreciated, unfortunately had more bad news and we now need to come up with £560 in the next two days! :eek: Shame they won't take some doubled up tesco vouchers!

Anyway, thanks again everyone and sorry for hijacking the thread! Your ideas have been a great help!

Dont know its years since I did a boot sale but its something most people buy in the shops so I would assume so if you can get it cheap sell it cheap but still make a profit

Has your friend tried asking local vets, Pets At Home etc even supermarkets with notice boards if she can put up flyers ?

Thanks for the replies re Mexico :T will show DS3 when he gets here later. Question is how can he get gf to have jabs without letting her know the honeymoon destination :cool:

no sooner had I posted I smelt a horrid smell the pressure cooker had boiled dry so my spuds were burnt and stuck to the bottom of pan :eek: the lovely stalkless brocolli and carrots had to be binned 'cos they would have tasted rank :eek: soooooooo quick trip to chippy :mad:

For tea I had steak pie (not burnt) chips and mushy peas with gravy yummmmmmmmmm

Easy, book two separate appointments (are they with the same doctor?) Make sure his is first and when he is in there, ask the nurse to not let on to the GF as it's a secret. I'm my experience the first appointment is just a consultation, they issue you with a prescription which you collect and take back to a follow up appointment to have. Normal run of the mill jabs (tetanus) they have in stock and can give you there and then...

LOL, just found my debit card that I lost last night. Oh well.

Perhaps the wine was to blame. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Had a good day at the shops , got Two of the below in Boots using the Loreal £1.50 coupon and paid 50p.

http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Men-Expert-Carbon-Protect-4-in-1-Anti-Perspirant-Deodorant-Spray-150ml_1260177/

Moved onto Ts and got 2 x Ski yoghurts with the 50p coupons, Febreze with the car coupons and some chicken, used a wombled jtd and paid 24p. On my way round i spotted the cake mix, so back to car and back in. Got 10 packs :T:T also spotted next to the RTC shelf 20 packs of Walkers Meaty Crisps down to £1.25 but didnt have a jtd on me so just got the cake mix.

Onto to S and 21 packs of beer kindly waiting for me, got those on SS and no probs and BMs each time,:T

Then onto As..phew..:rotfl: just got food for rest of week and paid 57p after wombled APGs

Back home via Ts and went back to get the 2 x crisps using a wombled jtd, thought i may as well get another Febreze and remembered i had a Hovis Homebake coupon on me aswell so got one of those, it didnt scan but SA just overode it, total to pay 54p

Off now to take care of my wombles..;)

Blooming heck, neosi, when do you find time to go to work? Hope that you left some cake mixes on the shelf:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
