  • At last decent buys for me! (although the man with the full trolley next to me beat me to all kinds of things!)

    Cherries 8p was £1.50
    A whole Red cabbage 3p was £1.04 (thought it was 5p - turned out to be 5p/kg lol:rotfl:)
    Celery 5p was £1.00

    Unfortunately no free anchor cream as my little store doesnt stock it but i'm happy with what i got.

    optimistic - great % discounts and the ones to beat - well done.
    Your cabbage looks like a winner at over 97% discount.

    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??

  • thank you for working out my % Lynsey, i wasnt expecting to be the "winner!" but am pleased (is that a bit sad? lol) - especially as the cabbage served us for 3 meals with generous portions!
    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.
    :)
  • 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
