    :o:o:o I don't know

    but Google says - Golden syrup for light corn syrup and treacle for dark corn syrup

    I think that's interesting Princess Savings. But did Ts really intend for us all to get packets of biscuits for around 4p? :rotfl:

    If so they're currently operating at a loss!



    a friend of mine has a brother who is a ceo for a major supermarket and he told him that they would rather put surplus stock in the crusher than give it away at silly prices

    example they had cages full of £29 kettles that did not have the eu safety sticker on them rather than pay somebody to put a sticker on the box

    they scraped all of them

    and they did it with large screen televisions because I know the person that picked them up for recycling brand new in the box told to destroy them all yes right he thought;)

    at the time the tvs were £899 each he had a large van full for recycling

    Golden syrup would work, but would alter the taste (nicer than corn syrup though!). In the US aisles in Mr Ts a good equivalent is light Karo syrup. Also liquid glucose would do the trick too :)

    Morning everyone :)

    Boots has musical mobile £24.99 now half price and also 3 for 2, so £12.49 for three. If you add 3 x Lynx deos for £5 and the code for 1000 points wys £50, then it comes to £17.49 and 1415 points. Need to add a couple of other things up to £20 to get free delivery to store.

    I am sure you can play around and get other stuff in the 3 for 2 rather than 3 of the same mobiles, but there are only a limited number left, hence not posting on Grabbit.

    Thanks, RN.

    Am away at the moment so not really caught up. Can you, or anyone explain/point me in the right direction?

    Thought that I'd seen a post about £56 of nail varnish at Mr Shoes and got £51+ back in points. Sounds good for DGD.
    TIA
