    I like the true movies, more interesting than some of the so called block busters.

    I need tissues when I watch these!

    I can see where some peeps are coming from as regards to PP..

    E.G.

    £50 spend and get £10 PP = £40 shop. Use this on next shop
    £50 spend, use £10 pp = £40, get £10 PP You think you're getting it for £30!
    Next time you do the same, I.E. £50 shop, use £10pp, get £10pp back!!
    Over the 3 shops You only get back the original £10
    All 3 shop have cost you £150 yet you have only saved £10!!

    Not quite, you would pay £50 cash for 1st shop, then £40 cash+£10 PP for each shop thereafter, until you do a shop without a further PP.

    So if you did 3 PP shops and one without, you would spend £170 cash for £200 worth of goods.

    OMG do you take this shopping with you?

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D



    Yes, because in the early days, I missed out on deals because I didn't have the right coupons on me, LOL.

    Surely you have spent £50+£40+£40=£130 and hold a £10 PP. You have goods worth £120 if bought elsewhere (allegedly).

    I am rubbish at maths.. but I thought you would spend

    Subject to not having a PP to use initially

    £50 on the first shop
    £40 on the second
    £40 on the third
    and end up with a £10 PP at the end.

  • Wow this bargain hunting is addictive...only been at it a week! Popped out earlier and found amaretto flutes and the pentel essentials stationary set. No scanners in store that I know of so only got 4 es and 1 pentels. Now I just want to go back and get more!!!

    My heart skipped a beat when I spotted 20+ Pentel sets but the boogers scanned at full price!

    Did find 4 of the Nike backpacks though :-)

    What size are you printing please ?

    Did 100%, does it scan ok at 75% ?



    I'm just using default settings. Adobe Reader, then my printer's popup. The default setting reads "Shrink Oversized Page". I did a scan test using my iPhone and seems fine.


    It's measuring 20.5 x 9.5 cm

    I have a really small folder that I keep in my bag, I paper clip the coupons today.. but have never got enough to file this.

    I often wonder around the shop just looking at the coupon products.. I say often I hate shopping so it is not that often!!
