Thank you to the op, I also received the toothbrush. Never sent one off.

My family love Heinz ketchup and just finishing my last bottle when they were free. The other day in b&m I bought 350g for 69p. It's not in a bottle but like one of those refillable pouch things. Like the one you get for baby food pouches. I've stocked up. Hope it some help to someone.

You are welcome. However, I've just booked a cheapo holiday for mum and I to salou in Spain. S/C apartment with separate lounge/kitchen - leaving 19th sept from luton for one week. £180 each :j only get 10kg hand luggage with Ryanair so booked mum an additional 15kg for £52:eek: (I travel super light so 10kg is enough for me).
I used onthebeach.co.uk

For those of you who have managed to find the ready meals booklets, do they have online codes on them at all?
Ts have improved lately and most of the Real Food mag vouchers have codes for online use. Wondered if these were the same? TIA

I have just edited my signature and I really wanted to say a heartfelt thank you.

When I found the ELITE at New Year '13 we were in our second year of struggling since my husband's redundancy. We have six children and a rather large mortgage and benefits weren't quite stretching. My husband and I were literally living on toast and value pasta so that the children could have some fruit and veg etc.

You guys opened my eyes to the amount of money that I could save on food shopping etc. I thought that I was doing the right thing by buying 'value' everything but I was so wrong. I have learnt so much from you.

I am happy to say that seven months on my husband has a new job which has just been made permanent (after contracting since March). Financially, we are so much better off but this isn't because he has a huge salary (I wish) this is because of what I have learned from the ELITE. I have a small stash, know my target prices for most things and stick to them, and only buy if something represents good value for money (is a bargain) and I NEED it. I even have a coupon wallet! We do not waste money any more.

I love how the people on this thread work together, share knowledge and support each other. There is always someone here to help. I don't post an awful lot as I feel that I don't have much to contribute- I still have a lot to learn- but I love reading and feeling part of something special. Just today that spirit of sharing and assisting has been demonstrated in response to my post about the Ready Meal vouchers. It makes me sad when I read criticism from people who don't use the thread, saying that the ELITE are selfish and greedy. This is so far from the truth. This is a kind, cooperative place- even though I am not a prolific contributor I am always made to feel welcome.

So that is my rather long winded way of saying thank you- for everything that you have shared, all that you have taught me, your kindness and generosity. You have made the hugest difference to my family's life.

Is it possible I have been looking in the wrong place?
