    I have been looking at a holiday for me an the girls for ages but not plucked up courage to book, absolutely gutted had not looked for ages and on Tuesday it had gone down from over £700 to £622 each, looked again yesterday morning and it was back up to £749 each. :(

    Think I have a bit to learn on when the best deals are to be had. Mr TS told me to not look again for a while and wait until the new year rush is over as lots of people are probably looking right now.

    Trying to get my head around this. You say "100% legit comparison!" so couldn't I just buy them in Waitrose at 75p? Trying to see where the benefit is in getting them at Asda when you have to buy additional items up to total of 8. :o

    You could just buy them in Waitrose yes, nearest Waitrose to me is 20mins away, Asda is just around the corner.

    Also, I'm expecting Waitrose to have stock issues!

    You are right though, unless you have groceries to add then the cost of fillers makes it cheaper at Waitrose... unless you get the 1p grape, tiny bit of carrot, hamster broccoli, half a sprout etc

    I need to get on this next time the extra points/conditional spends are on. If I can pay my electric/gas bills with them, I will just pay off a years power, nice and easy. :beer:

    you don't want to stop the direct debit or you will lose your discount. ive reduced mine to the minimum they will allow me to at £30 per month. I just top account up (sometimes daily) with various amounts. im £300 in credit at the moment. but I like that as we are now in the cold season.
    my energy company is the co-op

    What sites do you use for your cruise bargains dm? We've only ever cruise on disney cruise line (which is amazing!), but thinking of trying some others as really like cruising. I actually think a cruise would be great to be on for new year, if I'm up to it this year maybe I'll consider it.

    Thanks ss. Wonder how good the Luxury Special Muesli is? Says Luxury but I wonder just how luxurious it really is. Be grateful if anyone who has tried it can post an opinion.

    I quite like their muesli, though I do still like to add fresh fruit to it, but then I do with any. I do stock up when they have this offer on.
