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!Busylizzie wrote: »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.0 -
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
(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!).

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.0 -

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 now0 -
I echo many of the posts about no longer chasing glitches too often
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 routeHistoric Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

Ok I'm going to ask! :eek:
