    Not been on here for a while so sorry if it's already been mentioned. If anyone needs a bottle of Jack Daniels, the 1 litre bottle is on promotion in Sainsbobs, down from £33 to £20. Great if you have a conditional spend to use up or hopefully it will match in sada and you'll get it for £18 then.

    I remember posting the same thing last year :rotfl:

    Are you a JD fan hampydoodums ? ;)

    I heartily agree with all the above (including lid up and lid down) except the eggs.

    Best before dates are ridiculously short with eggs.

    The most effective test is the float test.

    Unsure of an egg?
    Pop it in a jug of water.
    If it sinks it's super fresh.
    If it is suspended in the water, it can still be used for baking.
    If it floats, sling it.
    Eggs are porous so the older the egg, the larger the air sac.

    Too many good eggs are thrown unnecessarily.

    Housewives of all previous generations used this method before certain agencies deemed fit to have all eggs stamped for the consumers.

    :money:

    I wish eggs lasted that long in my house :rotfl:

    Edit:

    Warning . I've just been told it is capped at 10,000 points.

    Thanks for that, what a shame, thought it would be too good to be true. ;)

    They sent a list of id they needed. None suitable to a 16yr old. Then when we phoned they said oh you should have got other list. But still wasnt suitable. They want certified id by gp or solicitor. We are not paying to open this account.

    Guy says do you want to lodge a complaint as they have all her details. They spelt her name wrong too. Bit carp from the start. Will see what they say
    :(

    What a palaver . I opened one easily enough and may switch. You need £800 put in within 31 days and two direct debits I believe but I need to read up a bit more first.

    I notice there is now an any 4 for £5:eek: "offer" on products like Heinz "Snack"pots (their word) and Heinz Fridge packs that I wouldn't pay more than £1 each for - nothing like getting you buy quadruple:eek: and then pay an extra pound on top!:eek::eek::rotfl: I'm just having a look to see if any triggers in the offer...

    It's otherwise a horrible offer that, to the cynic, seems set up merely in order to make their shopping unbelievably still more expensive elsewhere (just because of how expensive normal shopping now is elsewhere) and cut the APG amount!:( Now, I don't think A set up with that intention, it just seems that way:rotfl::rotfl:.
