    My only contribution is a pack of TTD clementines reduced from £1.49 to 25p
    The £1.49 was supposed to be half-price!!!!!
    Imagine £2.99 for 9 clementines?? :eek:

    Sainsbury's 9pm
    They also had lettuce and beans for only 10p.
    I wanted bread, but it was only reduced to half-price and I don't do half-price. :D
    I need 75%+ reductions. lol

    Lynsey

    I'm glad there's someone else who won't do half price :p my OH almost bought a loaf of bread for 40p today and I made him put it back because I normally buy it for 15p or less :rotfl:

    Some great cheapies this week from you lot.

    Sainsbury's last night 9pm'ish and not much left (just missed the bread!!!).

    Sainsbury's Fabulously Fruity 1% Fat Apricot Pineapple, Mango & Peach Yogurt (4x125g) - were £1.75 each - 10p each
    Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Madagascan Vanilla Custard (500g) - was £1.80 - 10p
    Sainsbury's full price £5.30 - Lynsey's "bargain price" 30p

    Good % reductions and will eat today.

  • I may join you lovely people tomorrow, as I am going shopping with Mum mid afternoon and our local T's usually has rather a nice selection on the frozen aisle and on the main grocery section that time of day :)
    wish me luck lol

    Today's reduced section - was there about 1pm and again about 2pm as I forgot something Mum needed and nipped back. Of course I made sure to walk back past the reduced area again lol.

    Completely forgot to look at the reduced grocery section though, but some of the stuff they have on there can be a bit crap at times.

    Not as great on savings as some of you ladies as it was middle of the day on Friday after all, but we did pick up the following:

    Apple Lemonade 330ml £1.20 | 60p
    Garlic Bread Slices £1.35 | £1.15
    Pack of 9 Chicken Breasts £9.99 | £4.89
    Potato Wedges 900g box £2.50 | £1.38
    Chicken Goujons (breaded) £1.75 | £1.05
    Pepperoni Calzone £2.59 | £1.59
    Beef Steaks (4 pack) £4.26 | £3.65
    Whole Duck!! £8.25 | £6.95

    Still, pretty decent and our freezers (both of them) are well stocked for another month or more now!

    Well done to all the bargains this week.
    I only managed to get some satsumas for 20p and some salmon fillets for 80p (from £4) from Tesco (8.30pm'ish) which my friend took - that's on top of the other stuff earlier in the week.
    Check Sainsbury's freezers as quite a bit of stuff reduced to 50p from £2.49 - got 5 packs of that also.

  • I managed to get a few last minute bargains yesterday too.

    Whole cooked chicken from oven fresh dept - £1.99
    Cumberland ring from OF - 9p
    Hot and Spicy chicken legs from OF - 99p
    Chocolate twist pastries (2 pack)- 19p
    2x caramel cheesecake slices (2 pack) - 19p
    Chinese style stirfry - 9p
    5 pack of barely black tights - 98p (Our morrisons has just gutted it's range of tights and stocked new brands so all the old ones have been reduced and i've bought every colour and style over the last few days! Plus a couple of packs as pressies)

    Not a reduced bargain but a freebie: I went blackberry picking this week and got 3kgs!
