    I think when we get stocks of things we forget we are going to have to buy them again at some point. :o

    But stashes don't last forever. :(

    I am down to my last tube of toothpaste, I looked at few in Ts last night but had no idea what was really a good price and meant to have a nosey in Wilkos today for that too. :eek:

    Well I had a delightful morning being a plumber. Went under the sink to look for something, don t go in there very often lol. I have a big plastic container in there full of junk and about a foot high and that was just one side :eek:. Noticed that it was full of rancid stinking water . Got everything out discovered a pipe had come loose.

    Sorted that and put some tape round it. Cleaned what I could salvage and have about 6 full carrier bags of rubbish to get rid of. Then a bath lol.


    Skillful Susie :D :T

    5p a bag on crisps - I go for 10p but think I'm going to nick your target going forward.

    My washing powder/gel etc is 10p a wash. T-roll used to be 25p a roll but now it's closer to 30p a roll. Tea bags targets are 1p. And fabric softener is under 3p a wash :rotfl: I could go on:D


    :T

    Tea bags 1p or less for me too!

    :cool:

    Don't use fabric softener.

    :o

    I use Manchester air.

    :rotfl:

    Washing powder...still got a load from DTD days.
