    Thank goodness for that! Just had a 15 minute stand-off in a busy Co-op while they faffed about trying to decide how to put the voucher thro the till, (they hadn't noticed the different wording!). Is everyone finding it a right old faff getting these put thro? And that was just for one pack....hate to think what it would be like trying to get 7 packs thro.....:o

    Also been told that Booths Supermarkets stock em...tis a faff in there too :p

    I got a lovely lady who put 4 packs aside for me :D

    Was a bit of a faff with scanning the coupons but she just manually entered them and I paid £1.60 something for 4 packs of loo roll, a bG of spuds and a bag of carrots. Happy days :)

    I have only ever used coupons in Booths on one occasion....ages ago. The lady on the till looked at me like she'd just scraped me off the bottom of her shoe :eek: :rotfl: that was after she'd asked a colleague if they accepted coupons. Not the coupons I had.......just coupons in general :rotfl::rotfl:

    Thank you - I've been down to my target for around 6/8 weeks but its varied a bit cos I've had a couple of holidays and have put on a few lbs each trip. I've been trying to get down to about 9st 7 or 8 lbs before I go and then, with a couple of fast days the following week, any excess seems to drop off again. I probably need to keep doing fast days every 3 or 4 days to keep the weight within reason.

    This is the ONLY diet I've ever found that really does work - and doesn't feel like a painful unpleasant experience. I really can't cope with 'standard' diets that leave you feeling deprived of anything nice for months on end.

    Just a thought, how about 8 packs of pastry, BOGOF and classed as dairy????
  • Hi All,

    is there a coupon floating about for Just Roll pasty Please? Sure I saw one somewhere :think:
    Hello, I hope you bought your Jus-Rol pastry using one or two of the earlier suggested vouchers. Now, if you have shoppitize, you may get 50p back for each pack you buy too (short crust or puff, chilled pastry blocks or ready-rolled sheets) Offer runs (for me) for another 3days.
    I am not young enough to know everything.
