Morning :wave:

*puts one toe on soapbox*
There's no such thing as a truly selfless act

The udis aren't very nice when you've got a cupboard/freezer full of very nice food, but if you've got nothing to feed yourself or your children, they're very nice indeed

Mentioning you give them to food banks is not calling yourself a saint, personally I think it's better in a food bank than in the bin.

Just because you gain something personally out of donating something to charity, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't do it. Charity shops have been doing well out of people's unwanted crap for a very long time

What's the difference between offloading a load of unwanted toiletries to a womans refuge and doing the same with food to a food bank. Is one more altruistic than the other?

Good Morning all

I've been donating sadas udis and the bagels i got from coupons in the tosco magazine last month for a while now. Theres a lady that unfortunately has to use a food bank whos whole family is gluten intolerant and shes very gratefull for anything gluten free as these items are rare to get from a food bank..I met her there one day i was dropping udis off ...now i drop them at her home.

The finish pure power are showing as in the offer on asda.com but not in the offer on msm so they should be a trigger then shouldnt they?
Msm shows 2 items in the 2 for £13 offer asda.com has the 3.

yes it looks to be a trigger, so £6.60 apg on the £13 spend

I had ignored them originally as not comparing well. but now they look to be an asset

edited, its showing now

Oh no do you need a shopping trolley like Nannylala? I'm sure we could find an alternative to barbie pink for you.

Hope a full recovery is not far round the corner for you. :A

Morning all, hope everyone has a bit of sunshine today. What a difference it makes. :j

Well that settles it then. Those gluten free wotsits are like marmite, some people love them, some hate them. Keep giving what you can, when you can

FC I hope all goes well with your OH today. Spirited discussions aside, I can't imagine what it must be like for you xx

I send clothes I no longer want & household bits when I've changed decor,gone off them etc ,just because I don't want/ like the items any longer doesn't mean somebody at the charity shop won't want them either.

It's the same principle as giving to the foodbank,people would rather someone make use of something than see it go in the dustbin.

Just my humble opinion.

As an aside,put it in your diaries folks,it's sunny in Manc today!!
