I have decided I definitely want a soup maker. Now, I know all the saucepan and stick blender bits, but I leave things to boil over if they have to cook for a while :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway, I currently have £25 on my nectar card, so I am going to do the Nectar Adpoints every week, therefore earning another 250 points each week, and should have enough points well before next winter to treat myself to one for free

Just a quick note to say M&S are making further reductions at 8pm tonight.

Bought DD 2 lovely bras from there today, only reduced to half price but really nice.

Have you thought about a slow cooker instead? You just chuck it all in and forget about it all, so it can't boil over;)And you could use the slow cooker for loads of other stuff too,I make loads of soups and debated on one till I saw the price:eek:

Don't know if this is any use, but have you tried looking on Debenhams?
I was looking in HOF the other day for a handbag, and saw some Nica ones I liked, but when I went home and checked online Debenhams had one that looked the same, and same make for £15 less!

I also found a 15% code for Debs (valid til today), so well pleased!

Hi All, Happy New Year!!

Just thought that I would mention that Debs 70% blue cross sale is online today - well over 2000 items showing with 70% off and as fuzzgun mentioned an extra 15% off today with code!! Started on next years Christmas gifts!!

No those people are wearing fakes, the real ones don't go squashed around the heels. I've had mine 3 years and they're still in excellent condition

I've had my UGGs 6 years and put them in the washing machine, dry them on the boiler stuffed in newspaper, bit stiff when dry but they soon soften when wearing. Agree it's the fakes people shuffle in! Bicester outlet shop is the cheapest, but don't go at the mo, they are doing a park and ride service and it's heaving over there...:)

A quick question re: t price promise. Im still waitng on three receipts to come back. its says that they have been submitted and i should check my inbox but they never appear and they arent in my junk. On the old website, i could just press backspace and they would appear but it wont work on the new style website. Any ideas??

As a last resort I phoned 0800505555 which is customer services including price promise enquires. Was told to enter details again and wait a few more days and if not ring back. I did ring back as still no pp. Money card sent. Hth x

T Eday Value apples T 82p M 82p

NB Cox apples bag at M are approx. 700g or 800g. Possible that T's will compare even if their bags are larger - do not buy Cox Apples in T if they are smaller in T than M.
M's Plums (red) punnet are around 10 or 11 plums and weight of 500g. Risk if T is more, as might not compare.

I wouldn't bother with the Eday value apples as they are same price. The Eday Malt Loaf is a quite cheap filler though.[...]

*Looks like there might be a price change in T on the Hartley's No Bits jams, as current offer on T.com ends 2/1/13 but no updated details on there yet. If old SEL of £1.00 is on in your store, could be a DTD as well as a PP???

Looks like T have beaten me to it, judging by looking online, as they've reduced the price of the Sugar Puffs, now matching M's price.
I thought I was doing rather well but, after reading on here, clearly I should be doing even better. I've decided to lift my ban on shopping in T (which I imposed after they changed the terms of their Price Chk/Prom. at least 5 times) as I may sometimes be paying more by not shopping there. I think I'll stop doing Av T for a short while, and move to mainly Av Sains/M. I'll still compile items Av T but I've now decided I'm best waiting for the T offers to expire and then looking for old SELs and thus onto DTD shopping!!:T:T
I shall be happy if my shopping with T is moved into minus figures.

All the new offers at T and products being moved to the aisles nearer the front of the stores. We should be ignoring them, buying T's more expensive items instead, that are cheaper somewhere else, and waiting a couple of weeks till we buy the products currently out on promotion, as soon as the offers have ended with OOD SELs still on.

Believe me all the supermarkets do know very well what their competitors are charging.

Imdebtfree

mine has now tracked at £30, oh's at £10.
Hope DS got his in yesterday when i told him about it or he will have lost out on £20!

Thanks but already got one - one of the cheapies from Ts, love it but chances are it will already be in use when I want to make soup Besides which (imagine a little girl stamping her feet) I want one :rotfl::rotfl: Would go nicely with the breadmaker I use to make the fresh bread we have with our Saturday soup :D
