    i agree about the rhubarb crumble my recipe is a bit of a cheat as i used silverspoon powdered pectin i do both ways but find without you have to boil for a lot longer and get far less jam as it boils away i find using the pectin everything stays fresher and some of the fruit stays in pieces, also weights are always rough with me as never do anything exact but with all my jams try to do equal amounts sugar to fruit :p

    500g rhubarb
    500g strawberries
    1kg sugar
    1 sachet pectin
    knob butter

    dice rhubarb cook in a little water until just tender then add halved strawberries allow to cool slightly before adding the sugar and pectin stirring well. heat gently until sugar dissolved stirring then add butter turn up heat get to rolling boil for 4 mins take of heat and check set if ready pour into sterilised jars in seal if not boil for another 1 min then recheck

    i have used the same recipe but no pectin and used some lemon juice then cook for longer using jam themometer to get to right temp but check the set before jarring

    Thanks for this, I have just picked my very first rhubarb and have it in the pan as I had some strawberries to use up anyway, only have liquid pectin so will try this and see, :T

    Looks like I can't take advantage of the 2 for £2 for the Flora as the cashback reverts to £1 when two are put into the basket, still one for free will give my mum a smile.

    I just tried it with plain and light and it did the same :(
    Oh well, one free's better than none I spose :)

    Sorry cant see smoothie:(:D

    I've just downloaded the mcdonalds app on my phone, tapped the phone to "crack the ice" gimmick and I've won a free smoothie :j It saves your coupon in a coupon wallet (they must have listened to what we all do!) and next time you go to a drive thru, you can then activate your code and the staff give you a free smoothie

    Thanks OP

    The deal was marked as spam before I saw it.
    How does it work please Tiger? :)

    I think it depends on how many times it lets you redeem.
    I did the coke in one store and it let me redeem against 4 bottles then it just vanished completely.
    It was 20% cashback on coke and it disappeared off all coke (multipack cans, 2ltr bottles.....)

    I see thanks

    No need to do a PP/APG shop. Despite being 2for1 in S you can also shop in S and get £1 cashback per different 8 pack

    Sweet lord.... CHEAP COKE CANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mysuperlist app has £1 cashback on coke cans

    They are £4.20 in T, £4.20 and BOGOF in S

    So buy 1 pack regular, 1 part diet as part of a PP shop instore (with your strawberries :money:) and get free strawberries and £2 cashback on the coke plus £4.20 PP

    i.e. 8 regular coke can and 8 diet cans for £2.20 after PP and Cashback :money:

    Yay!!!!! (you're not limited to regular/diet. Get whatever you want. Get regular/diet/caffeine free and zero if you want. No more than 1 of each though and get multiples of 2 ;)


    ETA: did someone say cravendale MOC PDFs were about? Are they valid just now in Ts? The 2litre is £1.98/2 for £3 in both T and S with 50p cashback.
    Do the same as with the coke and buy 2 varieties for biggest saving ;)

    I'm sure there are lots of others but my lunch is nearly over

    Is this app your new toy aau1? :D Time to [STRIKE]exploit[/STRIKE] get the best out of its generous offers ;):cool:

    Cravendale is Asda one.

    I found £1 cashback on McCain oven chips 907g £1.85 in T's £1.75 in A

    £1 cashback on Douwe Egberts 95g and 190g (check varieties)
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    I've got it now!!!! :j:j

    This is how you do it instore using the Mysuperlist app

    1 add strawberries to your list
    2 view list
    3 swipe your finger left to right to score through the item as you would check something off a shopping list
    4 piggy now changes colour and says "Cashback earned, click to redeem"
    5 click the piggy :rotfl:
    6 take picture
    7 click send
    8 eat strawberries
    9 thank me (and OP)

    Phew. I hope you all enjoy your free strawberries. :D

    Thankyou thankyou thankyou aau :D

    You beat me to it, the ipod's just come on :D
    Thanx for the heads up, I'm getting free strawberries today then :j

    Incase anyone wondered AFAIK you can only get the instore cashback with the app and I think it's only on ipod/phone/tab.

    Oh and the swipe thing no longer works for me, I seem to have little checkboxes instead (I think I've changed layout) but it still functions the same.
    Same for me (on an iphone). Already been out shopping today but I'll get them tomorrow :T
