Couldn't have put this better myself sfsb at the end of the day the budget has landed many families with cuts which we can do nothing about and sfsb's idea of getting as much as we can for as little as we can AS WE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE CUTS TOO is an admirable idea..it is in no way profiting from others misery mnany of us are affected by this rubbish budget so we too have to tighten our belts and if we can help others by donating without cutting our noses to spite our faces then i for one will be doing exactly that

i think it was a good budget.
ive done the calculations and i will be no worse or better off. but i feel strongly about people living within their budgets, instead of relying on the tax payer to subsidize their life style.
the point in getting at is capping benefit to the 1st 2 children. why if people want more than this should i pay for it.
plus whats the big issue with paying to go to uni, its ONLY paid back if you earn enough money.

ps
another thing, is free child minding. they should have scrapped it and women stay at home and look after their own kids.
relax girls im kidding on that one

Can you pick 20% off anything, say toblerones ?

no, you pick 10 out of a selection off about 900 items.

i just put it down to being that time of the month again :rotfl:

Possibly zippy, possibly.

However, I think I just said what needed to be said. I am here in the main to discuss shopping tips, bargains and glitches and have a bit of chat with similar, like minded people. What I don't want or need is to be insulted or preached at by some sanctimonious woman I have never met before.

We all know why we are here and we all know where we have drawn our own lines. Nothing about why we are here involves having to put up with the kind of stuff that FC has been waffling about in recent weeks.

Ps.. Just read the white writing:rotfl::rotfl:, but will post anyway.

I'm really sorry and I will make myself very unpopular


But why is this a good thing? isn't it justifying helping yourself by helping other people? if you are that concerned then donate your profits to these charities??

I'm very uncomfortable with making money out of others misery

You....and others here think it ok to line your own pockets?
I got it as you DONATE.......donate your profits? I don't somehow think any of you will


yes we can all make someone happy by donating udis and toblerones, but we won't give anything of our own lives up

it's rubbish. that we all subscribe to.

I jumped out of a plane at 35,000 feet last week......but I didn't get a discount on anything and it's the 8th time I've did it. I've raised money for charity every time. and ill continue to do so without needing praise on here.

I did it because the place I work for needs funds and I got them.

Don't care how much I'm hated and called a racist :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yes ....a racist because I had a joke with my Scottish friends :(I'd be willing to bet the person who reported me as racist isn't Scottish and has never had a Scottish friend .

we have a far superior sense of humour

enough ranting for one night some people really do need to get a life.

How can someone who is Scottish (through and through) be being racist against Scottish people :eek:

Come and join my whats app group:)
Unfortunate as I have a family I don't have time to do all the good deeds you do:o

I better put the record straight I have no issue with paying to go to uni but previously the student loan for living expenses was not enough to survive on it's own with rent costs. So previously the grant topped up where families on low incomes could not afford to. As someone else said Landlords do charge extortionate fees for student accommodation. Far more than what renting the same size house would cost if it was rented out as a family home. I do understand there are extra costs to the landlords for student accommodation but not sure it equates to how much extra they charge.

I did say this morning I missed the bit yesterday that the student loans are now increasing for everyone.

Not everyone is lucky to live in commuting distance of a university that runs the course they want to do and stay at home to keep their living costs down. Although I do agree as someone else said that living away at uni is part of the experience and that teenagers mostly come out the other end as well rounded young adults.

:hello:, surprise:rotfl:.
I've just been having a look at Aldi's "special"buys for today to see whether it's worth me going there. I wasn't too impressed at Frosted Shreddies 750g at £1.85 (24.7:eek:p/100g) - with my guide at 20p/100g (and even that's arguably twice as much as what it should be as much cheaper SP/value-line cereals are available, albeit not Frosted Wheats) it 'should' be £1.50 not £1.85! The expensive £1.85 price works out at £1.23 and third:eek: per 500g - should be £1.00. Sadly the higher pricing seems to be the normal 'low' these days - T has been £1.24 on 500g, now £2.49:eek::eek:, so instead risking it vs Morries £1.24 (not available Northern Ireland) for hopefully 10% off - remember only to pick a box if it has 'Win a cow' otherwise, with no milk, it's over the odds again:rotfl:.
Or just wait, like folks in Northern Ireland should now do.

It turns out that Malted Wheats (a version of the original "Shreddies") at 97p - which have since a huge increase to £1.88:eek: in the past week - were not a good price after all:( as Harvest Morn version at Aldi are cheaper. So hard getting everything at best value.

Now, don't buying Harvest Morn at Aldi unnecessarily just because I told you about them here!:rotfl:

Scrolling down the Aldi "specialbuys" (according to them) page, https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thur-9-july/, I then saw Bin Buddy Freshener at £1.99. Alright, a few pence (50p) off. I've seen £1.24 elsewhere before, so avoid IMO! Why would you pay 75p extra? Points offer currently on them in M (which does supposedly compare vs Aldi) but seems to have worsened - they now want you to buy two:eek: for - is it just a 10p off per freshener:( - I've no idea:o:o - offer not good enough to me even to bother with!:j(:rotfl:)

Scrolling down, I saw the top of a Pride Oven Cleaner appearing and I thought "2.99?". And guess what - £2.99:(:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - these supermarkets, so predictable!:rotfl:

Again, obviously way too dear:D. One, however, that I did think is okay is the Magnum Dishwasher Salt 2Kg for 99p! Alright it's not a glitch price, but it's been ages since T has had a half-price offer (85p for them) - watch them have one next week now:rotfl: - I doubt it nonetheless - T stuck on £1.70 these days:( and A on £1.95 so, in the light of those, it seems 'good'.

Then I realised :doh: that the £1.95:eek:/£1.70 elsewhere (and £2.20 at Sains and Waitrose, but they don't count as no-one in their right mind would ever pay that:rotfl:) are 3Kg not 2Kg, so watch this. It's much more expensive than T's half price of ages ago (when I stocked up in A not nearly enough:rotfl::() and 99p for 2Kg works out at over £1.48:eek: for 3Kg!

Nonetheless it's the best I've seen for a while - though T at 85p for 3Kg was way better - equates to about 57p for 2Kg, making 99p now seem a positive rip-off - but someone will doubtless tell me that something in Lidl is much cheaper than what I've found.

There's also a twinpack Magnum dishwasher cleaner in Aldi for £1.99 (subject to stock availability), for those, with a dishwasher:D, that are unable to get glitches elsewhere, clearly better price than the Morrisons straight offer that they go on on the Finish singles of £1.75.
