I used to give my morning bus driver Xmas chocs, he drove my bus to work every morning for 4 years and was absolutely fantastic. He knew everyone on our route and knew to wait a few moments on certain people incase they were running late because we all got the same bus and most were never late.

I know when I was a taxi driver it cheered up my day and others when I offered them a choc or two from the tub in my glovebox in the weeks before Xmas. It might have cost me £15-£20 for the tubs but it broke the ice with some people and made for a better journey for all of us, that plus any extra tips were greatly appreciated .
My best one being a customer who got taxis regularly and for Xmas week prepared envelopes with different amounts of cash inside between thick cardboard and told you to pick one but not open it until he'd been dropped off as he didn't want to know when the big one went. I got £30 :eek: and another driver that day got £25. This really made our day :T
One other customer use to provide us with a pack of buns or biscuits once a month because she was so pleased to find a firm who helped her as much as our drivers did.

Many people in these industries appreciate even the smallest gesture to show that they are appreciated.

I'm loving how this thread is really bring out stories of generosity and kindness!:T Such a lovely idea, I know in my profession, tiny gifts/words really make you feel what you're doing is really valued by someone, helps you to keep going when the days are not as good.:o

You would need to check the current price of items in other supermarkets (Mysupermarket is useful but doesn't show Ms and Ms doesn't always match!) and have it confirmed that it is currently working.

The confirmed "triggers" on the first page (apart from Tober whatsit - triangle box of Toblerone) work with any of the other items. Current confirmed deals that have quite a gap are:

AvS for Milk Tray (plus trigger plus fillers)
AvW for gold tin of Fabulous Fingers (plus trigger plus fillers)

Don't mix one of each of the above otherwise it won't work out cheaper.

Buyer beware - it can change at any time and you could end up paying £10 for 3, but keep monitoring on here to minimise your risk as they are really helpful.

Speaking of which. Has anyone tried the Thorntons Premium 214g box to see if APG recognises that it is £2.50 in M lately?

My A has sold out of these (every other product seemed to be in stock so I wonder if someone that uses my store knows something I don't)

Your entitled to your opinion (or was that a group opinion) but I like JJJ posts, He/She uses his/her voice.. some of you seem to have a meeting before anything is posted. Most of the time "a" post is from more then 1 person if that makes sence. (Don't upset the applecart) is a expression I will use for today.

To many of them "regs" try and use a group opinion and not there own, My own guess is so their face still fits :eek:

Unbelievable

Logie - hugs to you and your family. Thanks for letting us know about yesterday. You are in our thoughts.

Anyone fancy a Boxing Day red onion chutney to use up all those onion fillers?

Chop 6 largish red onions and cook until soft in butter or olive oli

Add 3 cups of your favourite vinegar or / red wine mix

Ad 3 cups of brown sugar.

Bring to boil and simmer for one and a half hours until all the liquid has evaporated.
Put when hot into 2 sterilised jam jars and try and resist eating until Christmas.

It will improve with age:)

For variations add garlic or sultanas or chillis:)

Thank you for this me and OH have been wanting to try and make some chutney but thought we had left it too late for this Christmas as I know it is better with age :j Can I just ask what sort of vinegar do you use? Would balsamic be ok?

Yep Lidl lasagna is yummy scrummyOk! Mmm maybe I may have that too!

They have their fin carre chocolate on half price today so 17p a bar. I expect it will all be gone by the time I get there but it is worth a look, nothing special but ok for eating in front of the tv or cake making with my little man.

yay my face wash worked! So glad I chucked the usual flump, mouse and freddo in!

that's one of the best tips to those trying out the apg comparison for the first couple of times - always chuck in extra cheap fillers so if something is scanned right or removed at the till you will still have enough items for the comparison.

wonder what the comparison for the cheap cat food will look like?!
