    Many thanks. I've just registered.
  • Hi all, decided to post my successes(ish) of the weekend.

    Went with my mum on saturday, doing one transaction each.
    1st transaction (Mums weekly shop)- 4 x loreal, 2x herbal essences, 2x radox and a lynx deoderant that dad wanted. Total: 22.92. After BOGOFS: 12.22. Used 3x1.25 2x2.50, 2x2.50, 5x1, 2x2, = -10.53

    Womens clothes to the value of £70. Unfortunately, he didnt scan a £6 item and a pair of socks scanned at £1.50 instead of £3. So actually £62.50 of clothes. Used 2x10 blue (dif barcodes) 1x10 yellow, 1x7 yellow 2x6 get active, 2x6 yellow 4x6 blue = -22.50

    SubTotal: £180.20. Total to pay: £164.60. After coupons: £40.85 (Mums face - priceless - sorry couldnt resist :rotfl: )
    +714 points


    2nd transaction (me) - 2x So.., 2x CW, 2x Loreal = 20.12. After discounts: 11.07. Used 2x2.50, 2x2.50, 1x2.50, 2x2, 2x1, 3x1.25 = -9.18
    2x vitamins bogof and loads of first aid type stuff = £12.87 after bogof. Used £12 vouchers (Get active, old quit and H+B). Total = 0.87
    Few other bits to pad out including wine which gave me 300 points + double points.
    Subtotal: £50.41, Total to pay: £37.46. After coupons: £2.71
    +787 points

    Looking at all my lovely yellows, blues and greens on sunday, I just couldnt resist going for more clothes. Unfortunately, I didnt end up getting there until 3pm and I took my OH.
    I was trying on some stuff and had to leave a pair of jeans in the trolley as you can only take 4 items in at once at my store. Had to send him to get rest of the shopping as it was getting so late. Had exactly £35 of womans so decided instead of £70 womens/mens to do a 35/25 with kids instead. So at quarter to 4 im trying to grab £25 of anything in my sisters size. My maths was dead on in the end, but unfortunately my OH hadnt taken the other pair of jeans out the trolley :rolleyes: and in my rush I didnt realise until I checked my reciept on the bus.
    Also, the stress of hurrying meant I calculated my toiletries wrong and picked up 2 original source that werent even on BOGOF that I didnt need for my total.
    However my subtotal was 132.66. Total to pay was 121.34. After coupons 40.34 -£15 if I can return the other jeans.
    +677 points

    Total £363.27 of shopping for 83.90 +2178 points
    All in all quite pleased with the weekend. Its the most coupons Ive ever dared to use, Im definately getting more confident! :cool: Thanks for everyones helpful advice!


    P.S Welshy, I bought your dress in the brown!

    well done xxisabelle on your bargain shops :beer: great isn't it, I have the dress in both colourways red and brown. I also met a fellow MSE'r :wave: the other day after striking up a conversation firstly about vouchers and then the red dress that she was buying - I bet she will look lovely in it too. Maybe it could be the MSE uniform LOL would be easier to recognise each other.

    Although at 20 stone & with a goatee beard I may be mistaken for Brenda or Audrey from the Bounty Kitchen roll advert if I did! :D
