    Any inventive ideas as to what to do with the FF tins once the contents have been used ;) would be much appreciated :D:D
  • Talking about sayings, does anyone know of a good book which lists them and their origins? Was going to get one for DH as a stocking filler. The times a saying has cropped up in conversation and we've wondered where it originally came from

    Just back from T's and I so love those Finest coupons:)especially with whoopsies and then the multi deal kicks in too:T:T

    Thanks Nikki, all has been well for couple of hours now with DD3 and DD2 and her corsa have arrived safely at their destination. I can breathe easy for few hours. :D

    BTW did you see davemorton is doing a list of our sayings, I knew there was one "doing a Lala" but could not remember for the life of me who was the OP or what we do when we do it. :rotfl:

    Good afternoon. I've now edited what are now post nos. 4809 (on pg 241) and 4702 (pg 236) - A v M lists - including some additional items. The text size on the amendments I've made is coming out slightly differently to the original - but that may be a good thing, since you can see what has changed.

    Note also some restrictions added on some products - now I've found the M prices - for example Youngs Seafood Sticks (16) need to be bought in 2s.

    The T v M list is post 4721 (pg 237) - v. short as T pricematching M rather than A beating by 10%. Perhaps a couple of items to be added to T v M list soon. Coming up a new post: items, to buy in M itself, cheapest at M and NA at both A & T (or avail. in M and T, but not A, but at the same price in the first place at T).




    Savvy - i think your lists should be on page 1.
    maybe on next new thread ??

    Using mine to store small items such as pens, phone cables and the small choc bars I buy as fillers in an APG shop. Useful for any small items really and you can label them and stack them up.
