    Confession time

    Today's not been such a good fasting day. I'm 200 cals over :o

    Think I'm a bit over today too QoC, DD3 opened a packet of prawn crackers, she ate half and I have eaten quarter myself. :o

    And she opened a pack of Moshi gummies and I had 2. :(

    My main meal was 370 cals and the only other things I have eaten is small bowl of grapes and 5 strawberries. So hopefully I am not too much over.

    I'm sure a day of 700 cals will still be a good fast day for you, we must eat loads more on a normal day. :eek:

    Big thanks to both of you, I heard the word coffee and was out the door in a flash. :o

    Mr TS has now got a big smile on his face. :D

    There was a Sainsburys All day long Ground Coffee for 57p a pack. I might have got a few. ;)

    Not many Percol ones left but got a couple for 97p. Honduras and Americano. :)

    Didn't get chance to look at the instants as only just got to the store before closing. I owe you both big time. Thank you. :T
    You owe me nothing Stubby ;)

    Nothing is going to stay there very long at 75% off, saying that I can imagine a few muggles saying oh that's cheap I will get 2 and stock up :rotfl:

    Coffee is like gold dust in our house. :rotfl:

    I am sure you do, dont get hung up on a few calories when you are probably 1500-2000 under what you normally eat ;)

    I bought some coffee earlier in the week from B&M 99p I think for 250gm Douwe Egberts :j It was in a non English language :D
    Turns out it is filter coffee so bought a filter coffee mc from currys for £7.90 a day or two later :D
    So will be stocking up next time I venture in there

    Here's my yoghurt shop from tonight, you may notice that there are only 9 on the receipt and that's because I messed it up.

    Bought 10 but only scanned 9, one wouldn't scan and then I thought it had but wasn't sure so got the SA over. I asked him to check 10 had scanned because there was an offer on and he said I had as the discount had been applied but it turns out that must have been the buy 6 for £3 offer. So I only paid for 9 but didn't get the full discount.

    One thing I noticed on my receipt was the Greek corner has a description of MULLER CRNR but the other 6 corners have MULLERCORNER. I was wondering if the description is used in the comparison software and that might having something to do with the 10 at 68p. Do any other yoghurts that have been successful in the 10 for 68p have MULLER CRNR?

    1 x Muller Rice Strawberry (190g) £0.50 £0.34

    Fair enough, I was just throwing another idea into the mix, back to the drawing board then.
