If you order from Tesco Online and order the smaller sizes and they don't have those, they give you the larger sizes for the same price. Works the same with other things too always order cheapest you'll accept and you may get a more expensive version at the same price as the cheap one. (If you order a more expensive one and they give you a cheaper one, you'll only pay the price of the cheaper one) you can't losePaid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0
