    One final M/S shop tonight, just in time before the store closed. I'd worked it out in advance, so I was just over the £25 threshold - six ready meals and twelve tins of soup for £6.91, or a 73% saving:)

    Thanks to everyone for all the advice and tips,:T
    to SunshineMummy for finally losing her M/S virginity (got there in the end!),
    and super-extra-special thanks to my coupon fairy DesperateScousewife.:A

    It's been fun, this M/S voucher lark ... I've really enjoyed it. It's saved me money, but more importantly (IMHO) it's made me feel more a part of the Elite community. And before this turns into a weepy Oscar-type acceptance speech - "Show me the money!"...
    I bought £212.46 of food & drink for a grand total of (drumroll)
    £45.79

    I lost my warburton's virginity this week as well.. shhh do not tell my OH!!

    Very impressed with your M&S savings

    :D:D:D:D:D
