    I personally think the muller glitch is a nice easy one for a newbie, go to asda, buy 10 different mullers in the offer but not bluberry flavour, not greek rhubarb and not muller rice. You will pay £4, make sure you do buy different ones as you need 8 different items. Go home with receipt, 3 hours later go onto asdapriceguarantee website and check the receipt, you will now be able to print a voucher for £3.80. Some will go back to store and use this voucher on other shopping, some will buy the same again.
    Not sure I've explained it too well, as I am tired and been meaning to go to bed for ages. There are terms you need to know, like only being able to do 10 receipts a month, but use different emails and addresses each time and you should get round this. I hope that helps.

    Also if you are near a morrisons then there is apparently a glitch on soup. They are going through the tills at 30p a can when you buy 2, although only mushroom confirmed and if you search the coupon thread there is a coupon you can get for 20p off a tin, making the soup only 10p a tin. I personally won't be getting any, as morries is too far for me and we don't really eat soup.
    As others have said just keep reading, you'll soon be a pro money saver like others.
    Also check out local shops, for times they reduce food. I happened to ask for the first time in my local co op this week and was told around 5ish, I got myself 3 packs of chicken drumsticks £1 each, chicken breast fillets (4) £1.50 and pork chops (4) £1.60, not as good as some of the savings at tesco, but closer to home. And with my babble I will wish you all a good night.
    I would say more to certain individuals, like saying how happy I am to hear of logies progress and more..just because I don't say it, doesn't mean I don't mean it...but as I am a terrible lurker I am going to run. God I really must be tired, babble, babble, babble...love ya all x goodnight x

    How kind nictrinwyn:A

    Hope you manage a muller shop today Amhuk and a big welcome:T

    Hope today is good for you Nannylala:A

    Logie I so admire your strength and thank you for the update:A
