    Hi miffie,

    I make a couple a week. They are so healthy and cheap:money:

    I never go out of the way to buy veg ....it's just whatever is cheap. For fillers I add pasta, lentils, beans, rice and to vary seasonings I add coriander, cumin or whatever herbs I can get my hands on.
    I get excited when I see a pack of herbs in A reduced down to 8p:T

    I often put the smart price sage and onion stuffing in mine.
    I always make soup.I love the flavour of lentils.

    We have had some cracking glitches lately so we are entitled to spoil ourselves:D:D:D

    I agree:). Just better go a little cooler after today. I spent £16 of real money:eek:, as in the money on a GC. I suppose I'd better use a bit up of the Xmas gift cards. Like we can get far more than pitiful ISA rates (2.90% being pitiful) by channelling money round through various new current accounts each month, then a bit of the surplus went into A gift cards in November. Just a one-off £6 added to them (treat as if it were interest for the whole year, still beats most of the bog-standard savings rates). After nearly four months:eek:, I still have over half of the value on the cards, thanks to lots of things on here and APGs and then I found a further card I'd put away and not used yet at all!:D My problem is spending more than about ten pence on a shop (after APGs):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    :rotfl:

    Other womble was more than 10% lower than everywhere. Due to them buying the Liberte yogurts:rotfl: on £1 r'back that are even worse at 2 for £3 elsewhere, or £2.19 each in T. Buy in T!! (Didn't think I'd tell you that!:eek:)

    I knew better - perhaps, and bought Mullers vs T. Results due (along with Ferrero separate shop) 'within the hour'. I bought a speculative test item on the Morries comp. - just because we were desperate for the item, having not been organised enough on everything:( - responsbility given to someone else to check if we were running out and they told me once we had ran out:(. Hoping it might glitch vs a different size at M and then glitch again at cheaper price than actually:D. I think a very long shot - but we needed it anyway. I'll post the info. if it does glitch and, if not, I'll fall 'strangely' silent and not mention anything at all:rotfl:.:silenced:

    Still catching up but thanks Anon, elliemoo and miffie :)

    Sorry to ask another question (it feels like my first week all over again!) but does anyone know if you can stack coupons in mr shoes. Ie. 2.50 off 10 conditional spend, minus other coupons? So basically if I hand them the conditional spend coupon first can I then hand over ones that reduce the cost further? Thank you please hope that makes sense

    Quick question for eBayers - with BIN and Best Offer, if someone offers you £2.50 below asking on a £16 item, would you counter offer say £15 or just accept? Just wondering what people expect to get.

    Many thanks

    I like this:

    1 x Ferrero Collection (32 per pack - 359g)£7.00£2.99

    So - that shop was about £4 of 'real' (GC) money, with a fiver of the GC spend put into an APG voucher instead:T. It's got £9 off the GC and kept quite a bit of it, for use in future (which hopefully will return some of its spend back again):D.

    I have done this and got away with it, resulting in me paying pennies for about £20 worth of make-up... my niece was very very happy!
