Afternoon everyone. I hope the New Year has started well for you all. Feeling a little better since my xmas doldrums but had sooooo much to do! I promise to try and post more often in 2013.

Dropped lucky on whoopsies last night so thought I'd share a little stash pic with you guys. Cost was just under £20

You must have sharp elbows FK :T Nice photo !

We need to be 'Elite' more than ever.
Advice:
Build up your stashes from corner shop proportions to warehouse proportions, in preparation.

He says stood in front of a load of posh wine and cheese. Load of old twaddle if you ask me. Rip off Britain just continues to look for excuses to rip us off, nothing changes there.

A tip I learnt from my sister to get into the front of the whoopies...........
say in a loud voice "excuse me" and you get a "parting of the waves" (pardon the biblical reference) I tried it on wednesday and it actually worked:j:j
Be interested if it works for anyone else:rotfl:

Nope. Nobody seemed very interested in it. I took 12 of the 18 packs of mince and 10 mins later some were still sat on the shelf as were some more rump steaks etc.

What people didnt know of course is that buying in lots of 3 means another £2 off each lot of 3. Add another 10% off and it all came nice and cheap.

Popped into asda late on on route home and they'd just 10p'd everything that was left and nobody seemed interested so quite a bit fell into a basket there. A few APG's lightened the load even further there too!

Hi,
just returned from a targeted shop, Sada v Mr T.
Found the nives shower gel with 4f3 label still showing.
Bought 8 charged 12 pounds, off to CS, 6 pound refund and 2 pound gift card, asked for two gift cards as two overcharges but lady tols me one per transaction, so paid 4 pound for 8 and expect Apg to more than cover this spend.
