Of course, Savvy is a geek in word origins and definitions again:rotfl::rotfl::o:rotfl:. According to wikipedia, eccentric or non-mainstream, an expert or enthusiast. Deeply interested in a hobby. Or a peculiar or dislikable person, overly intellectual.
Aau1, you're certainly not 'dislikable' - or excessively intellectual (in the pejorative sense). As for 'non-mainstream', I think it's pretty mainstream to like Dr Who (or even follow it a lot) - it's on BBC ONE, a mainstream channel. You may be expert in Dr Who, and also an expert in shopping tricks (the latter like I am or attempt to be). As for 'eccentric', I wouldn't see you as overly (not going from your posts on here, not that eccentric to me). I know I'm 'eccentric' - I quite like being a little off of the norm, far better way to be in quite a lot of respects IMO, certainly doing full price checking in a large store is/was an unusual activity, but why not? It does/did things far better than the 'usual' way of doing things, like all of us here who save money from not doing things in the 'usual' (in the sense of common to the majority of society) way. While I've long liked being a little off the norm, and sometimes deliberately so in order to tease and be a little provocative with the rest of society, to challenge and question their assumptions, I've not really looked at the factors that define an 'eccentric' until very recently. And then I found that every one of them fits me exactly. Eccentric and very pleased to be!:D:D I think there's a certain likability to being a bit of a 'geek' these days. Perfectly fine to be a little geeky - it's the oddities that make people in society more interesting.0 -

I know a few that would disagree :rotfl:Apparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen0 -

Thanks for the permission Savvybuyer :rotfl:
I'd much rather have Star Trek on the box if I'm honest though
\\//_
So would I!:rotfl::rotfl: They're holding auditions for that - wonder if some of us on here have gone to them? I like Bristol at the moment - nowhere near you Aau1 though unfortunately - think they'll move onto places including Manchester perhaps 'nearest' (quite a trek, though, if pardon the pun - or even if not:p) to you.
As for those bendy cucumbers, should have picked a better one up. Though I think they're probably fine - just that the normal customers go for the more aesthetically pleasing ones, when in fact there's no different. Shame really as tons of veg. and fruit gets chucked out or never bought by supermarkets in the first place, simply because consumers won't buy it if it doesn't 'look' right. In reply to the photo of the cucumber - I trust that cucumber went into the right shop, with some snakes:D.0 -
If people can't get to Sainsbob for 20p sauces.......
Marks and Spencer's Sauces to clear most 10p!
Went into my local Marks and Spencer's in South Shields and found reduced to clear sauces.
See below:
Moroccan spiced dressing - 10p
Moroccan spiced dressing w/ lemon - 10p
Tarragon and English mustard dressing - 10p
Italian lemon and garlic marinade - 10p
Chipotle chilli relish - 69p
Unsure of nationwide but what a bargain!

I hope nobody minds if I steer the thread back to moneysaving now and then amongst all davemortons bilge :rotfl:Apparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen0 -
