    A really random post now but I have searched to try and find the person so that I could thank them by PM but can't find who it was so I will just have to do it publicly.
    Thank you to whoever it was that mentioned doing the 30 day shred on their lawn one morning. I went on you tube and had a look (sat in bed with a coffee at the time and it terrified me) but I decided to give it a go found level 1 a killer but am now on day 5 of level 2 and I feel sooo much better for doing it. So a massive thatnk you to whoever it was.

    Well done :T:T:T

    Have you seen the anchor cheese which is about £2.20 a block today? I ask because I have a separate !!!!!! only list which had 2 Anchor cheese on it as I also had the mailing MOC but looked at mys this morning the offer seemed to be off so the Anchor was normal price - mind you I am not logged on.

    A few things seemed to have change price :mad: Mr T send me a 45p MOC for their swiss choc and they have a very nice version with orange bits in it but its now £1.50 instead of £1 so that's gone off the list.
    I also had a mailing points voucher for buying £1 of cereal or cereal bars - possibly the last thing I really need but I had 600g of Cherrios on the list - OH will eat those. This is now down to £2 in Tesco so its off the comparison list. Just have to look out for something else with cashback now.

    Re the Kitkat chunkies - I cant find the start of the discussion :o but from what I can gather do some stores have get 4 and get another 4 free or did I misread that?

    So in T they are £1.55 and match sada pound price - is this correct?
    Also good then for the sada v sainsbobs list as both a pound :T

    The curry price has changed in As then (just looked on their website at korma)
    It was comparing against £1.50 yesterday and they're on As at £1.90 now.
    That's curries crossed off my shopping list for today then :(

    Booger

    Just my luck

    If i had known i had the extra £1.60 room on my PP i could have chucked in 3 more packs of kitkats :rotfl:
