I went to a T's extra today and they had NO JF!!! I wanted the travel size but they had none, they didn't even have any sachets! What is that about??!!!

No 1p crackers either

I did manage to get some of the bacon that's 15p a slice from the deli counter and a few finest sausages as well. Felt like a wasted trip though

Ooooh can you tell me about the 15p bacon please?
The JF in my local is on the haircare aisle. The sachets are mixed in amongst the normal size shampoos

I am ashamed to say that despite being desperately short of money I was not aware of the APG until I found you guys!
I think that we walk around with our eyes shut most of the time.

i think we all just went in ,chucked food in the trolley,went home, without checking prices,sel's or the reciept. cant imagineany of us doing a "normal" shop now. we even train the children what to do. they are great at wombling :rotfl: and when they get bigger, they can go off hunting for a special item.

I checked with the moral John frieda full size products and in the extensive travel sized section. Nada in either.


On the butchers counter they have 3 trays with different types of finest bacon (smoked, unsmoked and streaky) for 15p a slice which is half price.
Same sort of offer with 4 types if finest sausages, all half price 20-30p each.
I haven't had much luck with whoopsie meat lately (I've 2 kids and whoopsie time is right at dinner/bath/bed time) so I don't get out much, but at these prices I didn't mind buying it

shame you can't get the sachets or travel sizes
Thanx for that, I hadn't realised they were on offer. I've got enough sausages in my freezer but we're out of bacon so at that price I shall probably be grabbing some :T hopefully they're not skimpy stingy slices
I don't catch whoopsie time very often either and when I do there's usually a full scale riot going on and I prefer to keep my limbs intact

you are right that is what we did one shop we need it so brought it horrified by the old me, how much money i wasted

i to train my kids but some listen better than others dd2 is terrible she goes for convenience over money saving, but ds3 at 13 is impressive one of his friends mum stopped and thanked him for buying his mate an icecream on their trip tuesday and offered him the money, as she forgot to give her son any in the morning, but he said it was only cheap while everyone was queueing at the posh ice cream shop him and another mate went into iceland and brought 3 boxes of icecreams for £3 and shared them out with their friends that had no money apparently they even gave the teacher one..
i was proud of him being money saving and generous..

I'm going to go to another T's (not my local) which I know at least has the blonde sachets (I'm brunette :rotfl: ) and I have to take dd1 to a party on Sunday so will leave early and call in at another one. If they have some, we can call in on the way back too!

You should be very proud of your son

Dd1 always keeps asking 'mummy why do you keep picking up rubbish from the floor:eek: '

Dd2 runs around shouting 'mummy I found a ticket'

Maybe if dd1 would realise that wombled clubcard points pays for our merlin passes, she might start picking them up too!
