Looks like optimistic had the best % discounts and Smoosh the biggest single item discount.
Sorry if I messed up.
Next week I'll miss just make it easier and get to see everyone's discounts. Maybe everyone can just use Rossie_Cheeks's idea of posting times and stores??

I'm away next week but will hop online when i can to see what everyone is buying and maybe I'll pick up some whoopsies in Suffolk.0 -
Hi everyone,
WOW, well done everyone.. some amazing savings.
Anyway, I am a newbie when it comes to yellow stickers and I am need of some tips. I normally go to Sainsburys for whoopsies but never have much luck. What time would be best to get there? Any expert tips?
Thanks everyone x
