    Its £5 for 4 offer 3 Dolmio and an Oats so Simple as the invisible trigger

    Wonderful, thanks for the reply. Is it any Oat So Simple or does it have to be a specific box or tub or what not? Sorry, I know I am being a lazy shi£e but I am at work and doing this off my phone. Boooo!

    All four items for 86p I think :)

    Thanks so much BL. Much appreciated.

    Oh and if you are in a Boots store, there are a lot of reductions on the digestion section, things like Ortisan fruit chews and peppermint things. HTH someone.

    Wise words (most of it!). I agree up to a point - I am less inclined to chase after 1p finds now as I went silly chasing after them and pretty much lost a night :o (post 4am return!) which was a wake up call.

    This time I have stocked up on cereal and Dolmio as this is saving money in the long run on items we normally buy a lot of, plenty of shampoo, shower gel, hand wash, Washing up liquid and washing liquid as we will get through it (in time ... ;)) . Switched mainly to fillers that we would buy anyway (Sweetcorn, tuna, soup, banana etc) rather than sweet fillers (unless I am in a rush) as it is easy to lose track of how much you are spending (and I still don't like getting fillers just as fillers - even though we have enough Flumps etc that I use for safety to ensure I don't get too few items). You know when there has been a good glitch not only by the size of the stash but also how full the other cupboards are with fillers.

    If I am going I tend to buy 4 shops at a time (one trolley) to save time, but also don't forget the cost of petrol to factor in! If it works out free I may get more :).

    And every so often I pull back if it is taking up too much of my time (or if Mrs Anon says we have "enough" ... though that is no longer guaranteed to stop me!).

    HTH

    I remember that Anon. ;)

    I am much better at not going too far for 1p finds now. If my local 2 don't have any then I don't rush off to next town or the superstores, only go if I am passing anyway. :cool:

    There was a time when I would road trip very late, latest for me was about 1am I think, but I am always home by 10pm now. :D

    Not to feel like the poor scottish cousin, we dont have a welly room or wellies. Why would I need them ? I know it rains here everyday but not to welly level.

    My daughter does have what could affectionately be called a "shoe" room. Its the fourth bedroom that we have kitted out as her dressing room. She loves it !! I was going to have a guest room but that idea went out the window but then I was going to have a diningroom but the boys claimed it as library/gym

    I may have to move out ! :rotfl:

    can i be the poor welsh cousin as we dont have a welly room either , and have lots of wellys and riding boots we have a large porch and a outside laundrey room that both store boots and wet clothes but no welly room , felling deprived now :p

    I echo many of the posts about no longer chasing glitches too often :o
    I think I posted a couple of months back that DH gave me a telling off for going to As 'just because something was glitching'
    I haven't done it since and have lost count of the amount of glitches I haven't participated in recently.
    On the other hand I am off to As again this Thursday which is a one hour walk in each direction :eek: (I know, seems a bit excessive!) but I'm off for the walk as I'm meeting my Dad for a cuppa and a trip to As is just a bonus as it's en route :)

    What on earth is a trigger and how do I know it's a trigger? :o

    Agree with you, David. and others on glitch chasing, I only buy what I need and haven't done an APG since the coke at xmas!:cool:

    My "fillers" are items I will use and I don't even know what a flump is/looks like!!:eek::rotfl:

    Lots of skimming from me. Going to do a Pimms later bacon is showing as 81p against morries does this mean I can do them both together?
