Don't know if anyone has freezer space? If so, tesco's have their Christmas joints/fish in Christmas packaging, reduced in the freezer section. Smoked salmon side was down to £2 from £4.

Felt a twitch but decided to make sausage sandwiches instead (must resist and clear the freezer out) before we go car shopping for eldest :eek:

morning guys...

just having a look through msm to see what i could use my finest coupons up on and this looks a good one for anyone interested in combining it in with a T v A shop. I did buy some before xmas when it was £10 but somehow it seems to have dissappeared.

anyone got any other ideas for the coupons before they expire?

Just back from T's. I wanted to stock up on the Diet Coke 8 for £1.87.:D
I know it would give me more on apg to buy at A's but not sure when I
will get to A's. Got some other stuff not much useful info except some
possible fillers.

If buying in A's.
1x AUNT BESSIE'S 22 IRRESISTIBLE YORKSHIRES 400G £2.00 £2.75


and if buying in Sainsbobs then these might be useful as fillers

1x BIRDS EYE 24 CRISPY CHICKEN DIPPERS 440G £2.00 £3.29
2x TESCO NI UNSMKD BACK BACON RASHER 300G £4.00 £5.18

hth

I'm not so sure about the Sains. fillers - BE 24 Crispy Dippers would seem best bought at A (vs T's £2.00 - or even Av W at £1.98 - 10%). As for the equivalent S-own brand bacon, Sains do not include own brands in their BM, so this would not compare vs a lower (or for that matter a higher) T price.

Although the 24 pack Dippers are on my Av W (W £1.98 T £2.00 A £2.00), I think the 42 pack vs M is currently cheaper per unit, with M on £3 (everywhere else the price has just increased quite a bit).

I've put a price alert on the new 6 pack Crispy Chicken as the price at A (believe it's NA elsewhere) has just risen. The 8 pack Birds eye Chicken Burgers (not the same thing I know) are S £1.38 (which works out at 34.5p/100g) - so 10% cheaper than that: A vs S. The BE 4 Chicken Pies (620g) are now back to £2 in T (so Avs T). Sorry this would involve at least 3 (or 4) different shops in A, but if you're organised, and already got other items, parts of your shopping, on different lists, you can make quite a deal out of it.

Regarding the first post I've quoted above - the Irish Cream Liqueur Tvs A - I may be able to add something useful onto this, as I've just spotted quite a number of items for Tv A (but just watch the £10 limit, partic. if you're including the cream liqueur):

(Sains prices in brackets where they're also Sv A)
Nestle Aero Milk Choc. Mousse 4pack - T £1.29 A 50p (S £1.29)
Quorn Sausages 250g - T £2.20 A £1 (S £2.20)
Bavaria Lager Shandy 6x330ml - T £2.00 A £1.00 (S £1.50)
Vanish Powerfoam Carpet Cleaner - T £4.60 A £3 (S £4.50) (but still going :eek: at the £3 price)
Batchelor's Deli Box Noodles Chow Mein 75g - T £1.19 A 50p (S N/A)
Also the following mentioned earlier:
Napolina 500g Conchiglie - T £1.30 A 50p (S 77p)
Napolina 500g Fussili - T £1.30 A 50p (S 77p)
Napolina 500g Penne Pasta - T £1.30 A 50p (S 77p)
Napolina 500g Spaghetti - T £1.30 A 50p (S 77p)
And, if you can find them on sada.com, Terry's Choc Oranges 175g apparently 50p in A, so Tv A or Sv A (but I can't find them on MSM).
As I've used MSM, please check on A's website before heading off to T (or S).
Finally, although don't give T another 28p unnecessarily:
T Eday Value Malt Loaf - T 28p A N/A (S N/A)

Like a pedant, I've not included the peppermint or caramel versions as they seem to be 1g less per mousse! Same price info, but caramel apparently NA in S.

Have a nice afternoon (or evening, night or morning if you're reading this later).

Can I please check, did someone say that the M&S voucher for £5 off £30 food spend works if your total spend would have been £30 but due to offers it comes to less than that? I am planning a fruit and veg shop tonight so would be useful to know. TY x

Hi Folks

Has anyone any good ideas for using up the Tesco Finest £2 coupons that expire on the 6th?? I was wondering about the raw king prawns that are £2.50 from £5, if they would work like the cooked ones did B4 Xmas? making it £3 for 2 packs??

Thanks PL

Morning all

Waved my brother off back to Finland about 6 this morning. DH is driving to Dublin for him to catch first plane to Copenhagen, then he has flight to Helsinki and bus home. He will get home about 8pm our time so a very long day. It was great to have him for nearly 3 weeks but still sad to see him go again

Thank goodness for Skype

That's some journey! hope your brother has a safe trip. x skype is fab isn't it?:) OH has family all over the place and it's so easy to keep in touch with everyone through skype:)

Was wondering what happened it, I added mine and then it got deleted along with others as well :eek:
