    Elite New Year Resolutions
    1. Never ever throw a coupon away until it has actually gone out of date.
    2. Move quickly when there's a glitch. There's more chance it won't work the longer you dilly dally
    3. Grab more coupons than you ever think you'll need
    4. While its working grab as many as you need /want
    5. Monitor your stash regularly. Watch out for mice weevils and bugs
    6. Don't lurk - Stay in touch with the thread so you don't miss out on any bargains.
    7. Rotate your stock regularly ensuring your BB dates are in the right order......particularly with yoghurts in the fridge.
    8. Only buy what you need. It's not money saving to find rotten food under your bed
    9. If it's cheap enough and it will store safely buy plenty. If you won't use it be generous and gift to the food banks.
    10. If you have coupons you're not going to use, recycle them or take them to a supermarket and hand out to people buying the products or leave them on the products concerned for others to find and use
    11. Stand your ground in the supermarket when you know you are right (and don't be afraid to complain to CS or take it further with head office when you know you are in the right ... but always be polite).
    12. Don't forget the cashback sites.
    13. Search discount codes before making any purchase.
    14. Familiarise yourself with the supermarket's T&Cs for if and when you get trouted.
    15. Sign up for manufacturer's email newsletters and/or FB 'like' them if they offer MOCs.
    16. Learn how to distinguish an instore glitch from an online one.
    17. Develop the willpower to avoid spending on glitches you don't really want. Don't be guilty of wasting money on things you don't need and don't want - just because it's glitching or seems an irresistible deal.Only take advantage of glitches/deals on things you'd normally buy and/or things which are better than free.

    (thanks, all, for suggestions:T)

    12 be a litter picker - salvage every receipt you find blowing in the wind - it might give you an APG, have something with cahsback on or contain the next big glitch item :D

    Mimi Happy new year to you too, maybe you will behave 2015:rotfl::rotfl:

    I was hoping you would have got me a gun for Xmas. So my NY resolution would be that I could have finished the satanic beasts next door which would mean I would actually have a life and the bags under my eyes would disappear as I would finally get some sleep! Doh.

    Hope you have a great NY too love.

    The 'final two' are/were Christmas Day (missed that one) and New Year's Day.

    It's a 2 part finale. Part 1 was on Xmas Day. Part 2 is on NY Day I think. It's one of the craziest comedies on television. It's not funny funny but it is funny if you know what I mean. I will be sad to see Miranda end.
