Experimental Little Invention Takes Existence

I love getting the fruit/veggies instead of canned goods. Have realised that now I buy 1-2 bananas as a filler we're not wasting any - before we often had to put out in the trash. Same with the red + ordinary onion - no wastage now. Ginger - a small bit is very inexpensive, garlic, lemon.
I don't think I'm brave enough to do 1 carrot and 2 mushrooms yet! lol although I will give it some thought. Hubby is now addicted to refreshers

I had to stop buying carrots as fillers as they always got forgotten about and ended up in the bin :mad:
DD loves it when I grab a banana (that's usually eaten before we get home ) and I must admit I do, do the 2 mushroom thing, haven't got the guts to only buy one yet
I've never tried the single grape yet though :rotfl:

I'm absolutely loving the MSM android app - still wish I knew how to scan items to see if they'll mess up my APG/PP/BM though.
Just been playing around with it and with cashback and BM/APG/PP a basket of very useful 'normal goods can cost around £20 with £17-£18 back - SUPER!

NOT going to partake of the coke/doritos as we're trying to lose weight and a 2lt bottle of coke will just go flat. On the other hand with an 8 pack of coke at just £2 at Morries IF they lose the multibuy in Asdas on MSM I'd be on that like a shot

If your not feeling brave enough, go through ss till. Your soon build confidence and then you won't care.

Not such a good one for us today, why is life so cruel, just had to tell my 13 year old son, that his best friends mum has died :A in the night. She has been deteriorating this last week and she got married last week aswell, he thought she was on the mend because of that, but I didn't want to burst his bubble. Feeling sad today.:A

Thoughts with you all today :A
I remember visiting my friend and seeing her deteriorating before she passed away She was only in her late 30s and her Son was barely a teenager (she lost her battle a few years ago now)
She was always the life and soul of the party and I always remember her that way
She had a wig when her hair fell out and I remember everyone else was wearing by the end of the night at one party :rotfl:

I'm absolutely bleedin useless on a ss till - I'd never make a check out operator. End up getting myself all flustered & always need help! lol

I did do the Mars ice-cream at an express yesterday & of course had to check it was working so totalled & then couldn't go back. Girl had to help me TWICE! :eek:

Think I'd better steer clear of SS to be quite honest - more likely to be trouted on them.

Morning all.
Hope everyone is well.
Wet and miserable here today

Well done to the night shift, I love waking up to a glitch- even if I'm not going to partake in it. Sod getting on the bus with loads of bottles of coke, it would just about kill me

Thanks dipdab for being today's guinea pig :T

So sad, such awful news to break to a kiddie. Hope your ds and his friend are ok. X

Morning all! Good luck to those people 'a coke glitchin' today. If I had time and they were cans I'd be on it like a car bonnet.

Hope the weather perks up. A bit BLAH isn't it?

Reports on the main thread that the ice-cream glitch has now ended.
