    The thing that pees me off about that article is the 'how can you spend 150 pounds on a shop?' line. Well, when you cook dinners from scratch and don't buy 500 Dr O's pizzas.....quite easily. Especially if its a weekly shop for a family. Not everyone wants to buy things just because they're on offer and grocery shopping can be bloomin' expensive. Especially if you like to cook as much as my folks do.

    Anyway......rant over ;)

    Yes, but you'll rant at me now - quite justifiedly - if I say that I go :eek::eek::eek::eek: when I see shops over £150.

    I've just never spent that much (not on grocery shops anyway, and we're talking - or I'm talking - about grocery shops). It's not necessarily about just offers and there's ways of cutting expensive shops down!

    I have an absolutely shocking and embarassing toiletry and make up stash :o Im like you, I can exercise control with everything else but these things. I have got a grip on it a bit in the last few months. I had to.....my OH nearly keeled over when he saw it in it's entirety:eek:......he had always thought that the overflow box under the bed was THE stash. Untill we tidied out the loft and I couldn't hide any longer :o

    He point blank told me I had a problem :eek: Ive sold a fair amount of it on ebay to make him feel better :D:rotfl:

    Bet he had the shock of his life :rotfl::rotfl:

    True, there are. But I often think its things like buying the cheaper ingredients or getting that margarine you don't really prefer (but have a coupon for). I can understand why people spend what they do, in particular when they're buying lots of fresh produce/don't like the taste of value items.

    Thanks to OP in Boots BB grabbit looks like the 342 and BOGOHP offers are carrying over to the next week, so if any of you have any vouchers left looks like you may still be ok to use them up glitching until sunday. :)

    Obviously me, TrulyMadly and Thrifty Sister will not be joining you on this one. ;)


    Me too. Wouldnt use the stuff although dd would but no vouchers anyway so I am safe til next time. Must admit dd would have liked me to join in as she has to trowel it on for work.
    Sdb please do not book wife into easy hotel in luton. Not a nice area at all.
    Is actually quite a small hotel in centre of luton right near the train station.not luton parkway station but luton town station.
    Pretty sure the is a premier inn reasonably near airport..

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    IIRC, Sainsbob sells large onions as opposed to just onions. Different enough description for MSM to consider them different products

    I think MSM are right there! They're sometimes more lenient than me. In my previous experience though, T can/could be more lenient than MSM, with T comparing all sorts of things, sometimes things I didn't want them to compare!!:o:rotfl::rotfl:And then the price check failing to pick up other things that clearly are comparable under my and MSM criteria (or rather not my criteria but my interpretation of MSM/T's criteria).
