    With two teenage boys in the house I go through loads of Comfort. They get dressed and if they decide to go out then they end up changing and the clothes they were wearing previously go in the wash...sometimes they end up changing their t shirts several times a day...:eek::eek: Am always nagging them about it. My eldest son has OCD with his bed, he hates anyone sitting on it or touching it, if they do then the bed is stripped :eek::eek: If his brother is in a mood with him then he deliberately sits on his bed...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Mum gave me a tip with my DS clothes when he was going through the try on or wear couple minutes stage then put in the wash and they still clean :mad:

    Dont wash but hang them on washing line to blow then bring in and hang back up in bedroom ;). DS was none the wiser :rotfl::rotfl::D

    Things that we do that are questionable :

    Actively search Tesco & Asda for discarded receipts and claim APGs/PPs.

    Claim points on receipts that we find in Tesco.

    Collect the £1 coins left in trolleys.

    Pricecheck items that we think may give a DTD - and then buy several intending to claim DTD.

    Use several different conditional spend coupons when we've only spent enough for the highest valued one.

    Grab dozens of Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury magazines cos we want the money off coupons - and then use them knowing we will get a BM etc (lager/shandy anyone?)

    Looking for the youngest, most gullible looking SA when we want to bend the coupon rules a bit.

    Castigating SA's who won't let us get away with bending the coupon rules.

    Picking up money in the car park and not handing it in.

    Printing off more coupons when really the manufacturer intended only one.

    Saving online coupons as PDF's and then printing and using dozens to get large quantities of free or very cheap goods.

    Taking advantage of cases where we discover the tills are given double discounts (Lurpak?).

    Buying masses of an item when we know that the computers are price matching wrongly and getting goods at what is clearly a wrong price (Don Simon?)

    Buying items which we know we don't want in order to use a conditional spend coupon - and then taking it back for a refund.

    As above to get a Sainsbury BM>

    Using your works printer to print off coupons.

    Using your works mailing system for your own private mail.


    I'll stop there or I'll be at it all night.

    Very few of us are quite as spotless as we make out.

    Surely I am not the only one who thinks enough already?

    Would it be possible for discussions about rights/wrongs, good cops/bad cops, lines in sand etc to be continued via pm for those who are interested or via FB?

    Please please can we protect the thread?
