Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but those bassetts multivits have gelatine in them so they aren't veggie.

However Mr T does sell the following that are veggie/vegan friendly. "Seven Seas Multi Vitamins And Minerals for vegetarians" (60's)


I use them and have stocked up on these and the Vertesse Omega 3,6,9's that are also ok for veggie & vegans.

(None of these are on offer sadly!)

Sshhh!!!! I don't tell her these things! lol

She is not 100% strictly vegetarian, but her love of animals makes her want to try, [plus she is sooo fussy and really doesn't like any meat except chicken anyway] but as yet it hasn't occured to her to think about gelatin etc.. and its kinda hard to get her to eat much now. She is at an awkward age and also wants to lose weight.. I think there is a need to know thing here.. and she don't need to know her vitamins aren't veggie..

I didn't do any h&b shops today after work - on reflection, sometimes things can actually take over your life and in years to come I don't want to think was all that tescoing really the best thing to do with my time

There is a life outside of tescos and I want to experience alot more than just the inside of another shop. Maybe this coupon user is slowing down and I don't think that's a bad thing at all.

Yes, I feel like this at times. Was gonna go today, as I do need some bits, but couldn't be bothered. Will go tomorrow and that's it for this week.

I often have bursts where I go almost 4 days a week, other times I go once a week. I always feel relieved when the vouchers are finished!! Unfortunately though, I've found enough HB for 3 more shops, not to mention the 4 healthcare shops I have planned! But after that, that's it. I did take a while to jump on this round of vouchers.

A break is nice.

I was going to have a day off tescoing .......... didnt step foot out of the house until gone 7pm :rotfl:

then did 2 tesco shops 1 Healthcare & 1 H&B .the temptation was just too much :rotfl:
had to go to a middle aged, female in one store :eek: as no youngster studenty types working !! she was fab though and scanned everything given to her

could have used more coupons,but was pleased with a few pennies to pay

it rained so much this morning so decided to stay in and not going anywhere, but OH moaned there is no milk for his tea, also running out of bread, cheese, eggs, so no choice but have to go. i did so many HB runs on saturday, how could i totally forget those essentials? silly me. anyway did a small shop: 2 elvive 4 radox, don't have many QK left, so thought the same as leadhead, shall i just use 2.5HB + 2 x 1HB? and hold back some QK for later uses? then thought of the recent clamp down and it is getting more and more difficult to use many coupons, if mr. t determines to change the policy soon, there is no point to hold onto those little piece of paper, better materialise them, so just handed them all to sa, all accepted. threw.

by the way, just realised in store that whole and semi skimmed milk 4 pint is 2 for £2 (but not the skimmed one), save 31p. we go thro so much milk each week, every little helps.

also saw uniformed man walking around t carpark issuing parking tickets to cars parked on white lines due to overcrowded carpark. wow, i wouldn't be happy to go into t just to get some essentials and come out with a parking fines. i saw him carrying a little machine thing, and left a white paper on some cars' windows, the back of the paper is facing upward so i couldn't tell what is it. was it just a warning or really a penalty fine? how much would that be? i don't know they r really doing that to customers, i would not leave my car on those white lines when the carpark is full now, be careful.

There is a new Tesco open near me and went in last night to do the H&B shop and the new girl had to call someone over to see if we could use so many vouchers. Assistant came over and said that it was okay as they were Tesco vouchers and would only scan if the items were bought ... which we had as there was a conveyer belt full of radox, lol.


Used 2 x £2.50 H&B, 5 x £1 H&B and 10 x 50 points.

Went out to the car and went back in and used ... wait for it ...

4 x 2.50 H&B, 10 x £1 H&B and 20 x 50 points!!

I have enough toiletries to wash the entire armed forces AND with the deals they are paying me

(BTW, I'm not greedy as such, I put them all into nice baskets as xmas gifts)

After being stopped the other day, in a store where i often get stopped, but take the risk now and again because i'm banned from there. I was leaving empty handed (HandB wise) when this burly security guard jumped at me and asked me to accompany him to the office. "Why" i said, "because of whats hidden under your coat in the trolly."..."What is hidden under my coat" i said, he then removed my coat and said "look...those", i said "but yes,,,it says on the box they're free"......."mmmm" he said "yes it does...but youre only meant to take one", "ok" i said so I took one, gave him the box and walked out.....His manager stood there flabbergasted.

Its a store i dont use much, not in my immediate area......and wouldnt bother me if i didnt go there again...

Wow, you have some guts!

I would have been quivering like a jelly and begging forgiveness :rotfl:

OMG me too! Am a class a wuss!

Anyway....I've not ever been able to get my hands on H&B leaflets locally, but found some of the quit packs so am off for my first attempt at this. Since I use Radox anyway, I guess I'll go with that for my first go, unless anyone has better advice. Is there anything with Dove as I also have a 50p Dove voucher from Pigsback. Will it work with just the quit pack vouchers?

Apparently this is easier than Bootsing, but is clear as mud when you start out!:rolleyes:
