    Oh TM that is so me, I save my favourite Lenor flavours, and Fairy WULs for best. I sucuumbed and opened some gel last week, but I must use up the powders I have stashed next. ;)

    My OH asked me today to buy in these exact words 'some really cheap crappy washing up liquid ' :eek::eek: My WUL stash is quite sizeable so I was a bit confused. Turns out he uses WUL as some sort of lubrucation for his worm pump thing for fishing ( I know that sounds:eek:, but it not meant to :o) and our WUL is of too a high quality and too thick :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: so I had to buy a bottle of smart price WUl for him :D

    Oh imagine the look on her face, I bet she's still sulking about it now :D

    You saw it first :cool: that meat was rightfully yours ;)

    I always follow the rules and sometimes I have lost out. She just wasn't quick enough, I had no idea that was why she was chatting to him. I just went for the meat. :D

    If you're going to bat your eyelashes at the butcher for cheap meat, you should make sure you reach the shelf before the meat does ;):rotfl::rotfl:

    Sticker says Bramley Apple pie, went round mum's for last of her ice cream and we are all sat down to eat it and the bloomin thing is rhubarb. :mad:

    Karma and all that. :o:o:o

    Just going to chat to myself for a minute.

    Brought a couple of carrier bags of bits home from mum's today. I am dreading finding homes for everything here, she had her own SP noodle stash so that has come back today. I cleared the savoury tin side of the cupboard.

    I also brought back some BS and Boots bargains she got for xmas from me and the girls but never used. Anyone remember the No7 French Manicure set of 3 nail polishes, think they worked out 3 for free with one of the £5 vouchers as they were £2.50 each and on 3 for 2. Those were the days. ;)

    Looks like peeps having fun with the Boots BB glitch on grabbit, seems to be getting better the more heads that are working out the best combinations etc. :)

    Hi all. Hope everyone has had a fab day.
    Struggling to keep up (here and in real life) just so exhausted.

    Sister in law was off to Pink Panthers T today so I asked if I could go and left bambino with hubby for first time :-)
    Forgot my T mag so didn't have coupons from there.
    Used some bzz vouchers but to be honest even with vouchers I found the free from stuff was way out of our budget so couldn't afford much just grabbed a loaf, macaroons and porridge just for sake of completing some activities but couldn't warrant buying anything else.
    We were forced to stand outside in rain due to fire alarm!

    Couldn't find any penny items. Booooooo :'(

    There were some chilli seeds on a rtc shelf with no price but they went through at £2 odd each :O had meant to ask them to check price first but forgot.

    The fruit and veg section (most important part of our shop) had someone marking whoopsies but I felt too intimidated to join in as there was a handful of people already there and I couldn't see past them.

    The next couple of weeks we will be trying to eat from cupboards and freezer and only buy fruit and veg in order to reduce costs as much as possible, however we do need to find more reliable ways of cutting costs in this part of our expenses. I fail terribly at APGs...

    I'm wondering if it will work out cheaper to use a greengrocers for fresh produce and somewhere like B&M or HB for tins etc?
    We currently spend around £250 a month on groceries but with my wage now being halved we must reduce it!! :-\ (difficult when you love to eat as well)

    Will pop to A for some Luco for a treat for hubby in the morn though.
    Dream of being mortgage free....
