everyone loves it (in) the Elite

Nenen

I'm sitting here feeling rather sorry for myself as I have severe vertigo (dizziness) which isn't being helped by the meds my GP has given me. What's making me feel worse is that I am self employed so if I don't work I don't get any money. It's also impossible for me to drive at the moment, and even travelling by bus makes my head spin ten times worse - which makes shopping difficult as nearest Tosca is 3 miles away and nearest Sada 7+ miles.

Fortunately, things are manageable at the moment as dh is able to do some work (he has a chronic heart condition) and we do have some savings for emergencies such as these but obviously I want to minimise dipping into savings so I'd be very grateful for some advice from the Elite.

I've only been on the Elite board a few weeks but I've already managed some successful shops for burgers, bni curries, JF shampoo, pork chops, biscuits and Easter eggs thanks to all the wonderful Elite posters. :beer: Obviously, these have saved me a significant amount of money and I have some stashed away for the (now) rainy day, which is very fortuitous indeed given my current dizziness (think all the horrible effects of drinking too much without any of the more pleasant ones)! However, man cannot live on burgers, curries, Easter eggs and shampoo alone!

I remember reading some posts a while back now about how some members of the Elite can do all their grocery shopping for around £50 per month. At the time I thought I would gradually pick up how to do this myself but time is of the essence now so I wondered if anyone can give me some more specific advice and/or information re how to do this.

I would also be grateful if you could tell me the best way to do a Sada home delivery as I might have to rely on having shopping delivered until my head stops spinning! :dance: I have used Tosca home delivery a couple of times but never Sada. For example, would I get an APG if I bought special pork chops and the correct Muller yoghurts for home delivery?

Good afternoon Elite


nsd for me today, been waiting for yodel. ds3 ordered something but he is at work so asked them to deliver here.


Have spent most of the day on family history stuff, adding to my paper trail yet again after I cut it back last week


Need more coffee please, I can't seem to keep awake

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well, it's not nice especially when you work for yourself too.

Does your DH drive and do you have a Lidl or a Farmfoods nearby. Lidl have weekend specials which can be worth stocking up on and Farmfoods have some great prices on loads of things.

Of course they don't have glitches sadly but are very good for cheap everyday prices.

A$da will give you an APG online if you are entitled to one on your shopping but it can only be spent again online, also they sometimes take a while to come through but I'm sure someone else knows more than me about this!

Afternoon all.
Hope everyone is ok.

Happy birthday QOC:bdaycake: hope you've had a lovely day xx


Tis a bit of a pants week so far
My mum was knocked off her bike on Monday by some complete knobhead who never bothered stopping. She and another cyclist were both sent flying. No serious injuries thank god but she's bruised all down one side.
This morning my husband had a range rover crash into his car. He's unscathed but the car wasn't so lucky.
I'm thinking I'm gonna wrap me and lil stink up in bubble wrap for the rest of the week.

I'm debating doing a big bird shop are they still going?? I have some evouchers to use. I'm going to give them to a friend. Just found he become homeless over christmas (don't know the details) so he lost everything. He's never had much luck and always seems to moving. Thought I would get a few things to start him off in his new place.
Got a quilt cover and slippers so far
