£1.10 at M. £2 at A. I think that means they pay you a penny to buy (on apg ofc)

Or of course you could just buy from M, making it 10p.

Just messed up my last M7S shop :mad:
Had both vouchers in my hand, scanned them and heard 2 'beeps' so continued, final price was more than expecting, so hit the back button - 2 '£5 off' items listed on the screen so I just paid.
When I looked at the receipt, the GR voucher had scanned twice (but only took one lot of £5 off) and the red January voucher not at all :mad:, so lost out on one of the discounts
Got 20+ people coming round for a bit of a party tonight :beer:, have got loads to do :eek: so about to get started on the jobs :A:A

Hi

Did you hear anything from your ds school about the money he had stolen?

That's what I have done on a couple of occasions, when it was £1.10, though for the last few days (maybe a week or more) at my local Morries it's been £2.

What miserable weather we've had here today. Grey, cold and wet


Boys and I snuggled under a blankey on the sofa this afternoon and all had a cheeky nap

Has anyone tried to withdraw money from Shopitize lately? I've done it before but doesn't seem to be working now. Whether I hit pay out by PayPal or BACS it just sends me to an advert for the shopitize app :huh:

This isn't meant to sound flippant or to demean the hardships of people who really do have very limited food budget to live on, but that's a piece of p1ss. My monthly food/drink spends are regularly around the £30-£35 mark, and if I spend over £50 it's been a very expensive month. (I keep all receipts and add up at month-end.) That's just for me; there's no Jelly tots to feed.
Coincidentally, last February I wanted to run down my freezer and cupboard stock, so I set myself a no-spend-on-groceries challenge. Bear in mind I only have a fridge-freezer, and a tins & dried goods cupboard, so it's not like I had a mountain of food. It certainly was a challenge, and it made me think a lot about using different foodstuffs in different ways, but I went 27 days without any food/drink spends. (Just one day short of a full month! Drat!!!) Again, I'm not saying this for the kudos; it's just what happened.

I was thinking about doing something similar this February as well; though that would be easier, with the M/S stocks.:)

At the moment I am still stocking up... The problem for us is we have quite expensive tastes. Since learning all the tricks and getting MOCs and stuff, our food bill has dropped significantly. There are three of us, 2 adults, 1 small child. But I would say we were spending about £150 a fortnight on food, one big shop, one top up shop. It was really damaging us because we're not a high income family at all. I tried everything... Only way we could make it cheaper was swapping to Aldi and living on food that we didn't really "enjoy" - pasta 3 or 4 nights a week, no proper meat, etc.

Even now, we probably spend about £30 or £40 a week on food, but a lot of that is very long-term stuff we got very cheap on the mocs or CBs. Our pantry has never been so full. In fact, it didn't even used to be used for food. And now, there's only room for food. It's beautiful :D Our old airing cupboard now completely stacked full with huge boxes of Daz, dozens of shower gels, deodorants etc.

Soon, everything will be full and then I think my food shop will be ridiculously cheap every week. I don't want that day to come, I love writing shopping lists atm
