    he he. i did that earlier. Tried some tiny boxes of "divine" xmas chocs, various coloured boxes in milk, dark, white etc. £2 for a piddly 60g box. You are joking!:eek: Straight back on the shelf they went.


    Those are the only christmas chocs still on the shelves at my local....and at that price they are still likely to be there next christmas!

  • Went to look for some 1p beauties this morning but the store had been completely stripped bare, apart from..

    The MP3 players (Technika 2GB & 4GB) were all £1 each and the boxes of chocolate gingerbread stars and chocolate coins were 1p.:D:D

    Many thanks to Scamps for his pics last night, they gave me the oomph I needed to get off my fat bum this morning and have another look. Cheers buddy..;)

    I am 1p stashless :(

    I havent got the time to get to T's to do the deed :(:(:(

    Please tell me I'm not the only one :(

    You are not the only one pet. I don't have time to go either. I know that if and when I will go, all the stashes will be long gone. I do wonder how whoever gets in before me gets them at 1p. The staff in my store are plain awful.

    Well done to AAU on getting congratulated at a manned till. If I did that, I would probably be barred from that store for life. They make you feel like a criminal if you try and use a voucher!

    SHOPITIZE has some SHARWOODS EGG NOODLES with £1 cashback. Just checked on MSM and it says they are £1 at SAINSBEES so technically free. Will see if I can find them tomorrow.

    Anyway, back from a 3 hour session at the gym and I am totally ravenous. I'm going to go and look at some crisps but not eat them. LOL. Such fun.

    I'm in the process of negotiating the 'loan' of some freezer space with friends, for my overflow of M&S & related bargains shopping.

    One couple really like the Warburtons Thins (I gave them several packets over the weekend), so I'm suggesting a rental price of one packet of Thins per 10cm3 space per week … the lawyers are just drawing up the final contracts for signature.

    Another friend has the M&S and GR vouchers ready to use, but she's a bit of a nervous nellie. We've even tried a role-play workshop, she playing herself (shopper) and me playing the SS till (easy gig, RADA-trained don't you know) beeping in the all the right places, to make sure she does it right. Still not sure. So I've suggested I do the M&S shop for her. I've given her a list of all the options, so she can either mark up the list (like a takeway menu) or come in the shop and point things out, then scarper outside. In return, all I'm asking for is a loan of some freezer space … perfectly reasonable, I thought.:)
    You make me howl with laughter - I love your sense of humour "jenny B" :D

  • Just been in Asda, noticed that the sharwoods noodles have a 50p off Sharwoods sauce coupon attatched to them (but fall off oh so easily ).
    Also, the noodles are on offer 2 for £2 and the sauce is £1 each.
    Also, kit kat chunky are 3 for £1

    I bought 2x noodles, 2x sauce and 3x kit kat.
    Paid £4 and used 2x 50p coupons (which i found on floor:D)
    claimed £1.80 for me and £1.80 for OH on shopitize :T
    (£1 noodles, 30p sauce, 50p kit kat)

    morning all x

    not a good day yesterday with my sister we have to go back to London and she will need a termination. The hydrocephalus has taken over the brain and given the fact of 14 weeks left the little baby would have no quality of life or probably do anything for himself. The case is marked as severe :(

    off to m&s today for food today will try and take my mind off things

    thanks for listening x

    So sorry to read this Sarah, sending (((hugs)))
