The Mad(ness) that is the Elite. He's gone, but was one of the best :A

After being told I can't have a receipt today when exchanging clothes at T (different SA again), I went to another T and finally managed to get a fresh receipt.
The first older SA made a point of saying I could only exchange to the value the clothes scanned at (luckily they were the same).

Now I can take my time getting a refund so will do it next time I'm passing.

It's been a bit of a hassle, and wasted some petrol making trips to T, glad this is a one off and I don't do it a lot!

hi midwinter x


can you please tell me how you done this as I could do with some tips on saving money xx......we are really short of money at the moment x

Hi Lou, you've come to the right place...

I would certainly agree with making a list of the contents of the freezer, cupboards etc...
Then do a meal planner and stick to it...

I recently bought some pastry, cut it into circles, made loads of stew in a pan packed with really cheap veg, a little meat and cooked the pastry circles in the oven for 10 minutes, served together ....homemade pie with very little cooking time and much cheaper than a shop bought one:)

I've found that when reading the thread, take a note or screen shot of things that compare well in various shops posted and the way people use mocs..
Then you have a list when you go shopping and can look for rtc items that are posted by others...sometimes store specific but you never know.

Use you club card and the vouchers, but look at how the items compare at other supermarkets, ie I had a cc moc for a toothbrush which was more expensive in t than @ so I did a target shop against @ and used the cc moc for the toothbrush, therefore getting it for less than the offer price in @...
I hope that makes sense...

Take advantage of the free click and collect especially when there are free items that can be included... Ie Special K porridge you can also use the codes from the mag online.. you don't have to order lots..I did an order with 5 items last time just for the free cereal.....and click and collect was free on that day:)

I'd also recommend topcashback..snap and save
Quidco clicksnap
Shopitize app and msl for cashback..

I hope that helps....I've saved lots since joining the thread in February....:T:T


Do you drive? If you shop at places like next, boots etc....pay with gift cards bought from Morries that way you can use the money off fuel voucher...I tend to save mine..usually have a good date on them and use them all together...

B00ts 75% sale is a good one for stocking up on gift sets for birthdays, mother day etc...you can remove them from the cardboard packaging if they are Christmassy...

Mr monkey is just coming to the end of the lynx deodorants I got him in January this year...

The wife has just heard that the ninth Clutha victim may be known to us

Name yet to be officially announced but relatives have been told to prepare themselves

So sorry to hear this, what an awful thing to happen, my thoughts are with everyone concerned.

it was quoted last night you can use the 4 x £2.00 off cheese

But not on the anchor cheese - they were used on finest gift sets I believe

Sorry to hear that!:(

I was listening to the news yesterday and the Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, said she has visited the hospital and one of the injured she saw was known to her and Glasgow was like a village as everybody knows somebody involved, it was good to see the public getting stuck in and helping the victims out of the building without 1st thinking of their own saftey...

As you know my family hail from Glasgow and I was up there last year and was in what could be described as one or two of the roughest pubs you are likely to enter but everyone was without exception very friendly, Glasgow really is a fantastic place!!
