right don't know if this has been mentioned before but
if you buy in Tesco the 64 wash comfort intense for £5 each [
it compares to morrisons at £2.44 so less youre £1 Tesco voucher
after Tesco price match thing
it should cost you just £1.44 for a 68 wash bottle
if im right im right and if im wrong SORRY

Or you could buy the 38 wash, use the £1 off coupon on Tesco site/mag and the £1 off coupon on greenredeen and pay nothing.

Good Morning all I'm in John Lewis s in Livepool having my free cake and drink

what did you have?

I only got one voucher this time and it was one given to my youngest who is on holiday in Vietnam with his GF right now - he will be gone until Christmas so it was nice to think of him when I found the voucher in my bag

I used my only voucher in Edinburgh last weekend. We were having a lovely walk down George street which is parallel with princess street it was very manic. last weekend of the Fringe
I spotted John lewis so up we went to the caf!, top floor, glass windows all around, shared a coffee and carrot cake and took some fabulous pics of the Edinburgh skyline

Next minute the sky went dark and a huge raincloud burst, it was like a monsoon, could not see out of the windows for rain.

half an hour later it was back to glorious sunshine :j

Then onto WHS to buy something sweet. The pouch bags which are £1 in A were £2.40:o
It's a wonder my heart didn't give up on me. There were some nearly out of date jelly babies that I paid £1 for .......

TrulyMadly

A couple of things I've just found.

For those who have the Greenredeem vouchers

Magnum 4 pack should now be comparing to T at £1.50....£1.50 in A.....85p for 4 Magnums is a cracking price using the 50p off coupon

Also the Knorr stock cubes should compare to S at £1......with the 30p off coupon makes it 60p for really good stock cubes

well this is our very MSE day

Firstly we had a bit of a lie in, well OH did, I was annoyed out of bed at 8 oclock by Ronnie cat strabbling at the wardrobe door and prancing up and down the corridor so I had to get up and let him out :mad:

our local town has the Food festival on, went and had a look last night as it was going to be frantic today so we drove to the next nearest town to do the shopping this morning.

We decided to have an early lunch - Pizza Express using one of my nectar 2 mains for 500 points vouchers :j

Then we did the shops and the art festival and got a few bits from Poundland.

Then we had coffee and a hot chocolate from Neros - 50 nectar points voucher

We had parked on sainsbobs which in this town is £1.50 for 2 hours but if you spend £5 you get the parking free
so firstly I did my return at the CS desk and got some nectar points added on :j
Then I got a £5 sainsbobs gift card, again at CS and she also gave me my £1.50 parking money back - normally I do a bit of shopping but we were close to the end of time for parking - I don't know why I've not thought of doing this before rather than buying bits of shopping that I don't really need - how dense am I.

Then as it was a nice afternoon we went back via Little Moreton to have a nice walk using our NT membership cards so free entry

http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/little-moreton-hall/

and we timed it right for tagging onto the back of a tour.

Afterwards I remembered we are only just around the corner from kidsgrove Tesco (yes its confusing - Staffordshire and Cheshire border all running along side each other we have been in and out of 3 counties today)
Its weeks since I've been to Mr Ts but I had a few items on the list for cashback so I thought I might as well get them there - easier than getting to our local store.
I got the cadburys fingers and coco pop bars for Shopotize.
I also had the free Prices tuna fillers MOC that came in last night so as I found these, long use by date which is good and its als o a Try me Free product.
I went through the till still clutching my MOC and forgot to hand it over so I had to go to CS to get sorted out - how dense am I!

I got my cashback things in 2 shops, one for me and one for OH and OHs card gave me a till spit for healthcase items - yes they are still issuing those, same as months ago but I also got one for iams cat food - have to see if and when this goes on offer, very expensive stuff.
Outside I found a small TPP in a trolley so I might get the Iams after all

Then we started homewards going through a town through Alsager which again is on the borders of Staffs - it has a Stoke ST17 postcode even though its nowhere near Stoke and closer to Cheshire .

Gobsmacked as we drove through to find the old Co-op has now gone and in its place

A SHINY NEW ASDA STORE!!!!

why did no one tell me it was there :eek:

Apparently its been there since earlier this year!
All the months our main road was shut and we had to do a big circuit to get to our normal Asda and we could just have skipped up to Alsager instead.

so of course we had to pop in to check it out - 2 hours free parking, how fab is that - unknown around here, our town has the most expensive parking in our county.

We decided just to get a couple of pizzas for a late supper - on offer for £1.50 each and in my bag I found a couple of APGs worth about £2.80 - these were wombled APGs so the pizzas cost 22p :T

so a very MSE day - just £4 in poundland and 22p in Asda, 550 nectar points for lunch and coffees - on the plus side a £10 refund in sainsbobs, a few more nectar points ready for the next neros trip, free Princes filler plus cashback money mext week and a small TPP to play with .

And the rec Oh collected has just produced a £2 odd Apg
- oh is going to be insufferable all week - he has no shame where and how he collects them
