Was expecting the Elite in the Daily Mail before the week was out :rotfl::rotfl:

A few answers for you

Firstly.
Perky is better known as Perkypam. She is kind of a mascot on here. Stick around long enough and all will become clear.
Secondly
All new members who have a lot of questions to ask will be referred to page one. They will also be advised to read the thread. That can mean the whole thread and also past ones.
I have been here a year and can say to you this type of shopping is not easy. I still am not confident on everything and some areas of conversation goes over my head.
When I joined someone told me it would take a year to get my head roundnit all and boy, they were right:eek:

All I can say is read, read, read and read again. Start off by copying a small shop someone has posted up.
This thread can gain tremendous speed at times and sometimes there is not time to give all the answers but if you read and study it becomes clearer.

Some members spend a couple of hours a week here, others can spend hours and hours every day and describe this as a part time job.

Everyone is welcome though as the people here pull together in a lot of different areas and substantial charity money can be raised at times.

The coupon thread is also great but this not for chatting just posting new coupons.
Sometimes if you don't want to print a safe coupon straight away you get the option of sending to email which is useful as quite a few people here print off at work. Some you can have posted to you and if you are nervous of coupons this is great as usually comes with back up letter. Great if your store does not like coupons.

Very occasionally nasty people come and 'troll' and this upsets our thread a great deal. Please be aware of this.

I hope you stick around and save as much money as I have. By following this thread I have been able to help out 7 households plus my local food bank.
I do a lot of this because I love to give. Some people are here because this is a way to feed their families and still manage to pay fuel bills.
Some people just love the kick they get from saving money
I hope you enjoy life here.

hello everyone j20 and shloer on offer in t's from tomorrow


Britvic J2o Orange And Passion Fruit 4 X 275Ml


Half Price Was £4.29 ... valid from tomorrow


Shloer White Grape Raspberry &C/Berry Juice Drink 750Ml
Buy 1 Get 1 FREE Cheapest Product ... valid from tomorrow (22/7/2013) until 4/8/2013

Now...let me guess. Are the Shloers £2.24 for one in T??:eek: (£1.12 last week in M, even that an increase from prev. offer price, months ago, of £1 each???) If Morries are still £1.12 (I can't foretell the future, as it's price changeover day tomorrow, sometimes these offers end early, but my list helpfully says to me it's due to end 28/7 - what a good move on my part - my starting to add expiry dates in:)), then you know the drill. Buy one only in T to compare vs M's £1.12 price (I think you may need a different Shloer than the one stated above as Morries don't have that one). Assuming T aren't £1.12 bogof:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:- how silly of me to think they might even be that. Always assuming that T matches M's price.

No good on the J20 either:( - for those who have cond.spends and either prefer shopping in T or don't have alternatives as these have been £2.14 in Sains. (must check whether Sains. have that flavour though). So would have been a helpful £4.29 to the shopping and, hopefully, £2.15 back on the PP vs Sains. Half price is rubbish IMO, for another reason, no DTDs either as it's now 'cheaper'. Wait till the offer ends in T then find a £2.14 SEL. Will also then, hopefully, be £4.29 towards your cond. spends (and possibly cheaper somewhere else). So neither of these offers seem good news. The only benefit seems to me to buy J20 in A vs T in a few days' time, if Sains. offer ends. Other than that, we don't want these offers in T. (or at least I don't anyway, others may have different views, but I think for all the reasons stated they are bad news except for A shoppers, or Sains ones that don't have an A).

Better get used to it Fred, for someone who hates shopping, you ask alot of stupid questions, given that this is a shopping based thread :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

All the answers to your questions are in the thread already, just read it, take notes and double check the prices before you leave, they are subject to change :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:eek:frequent!!
