    This looks good thanks to op

    £5 M&S food voucher in Friday's paper

    Good to stack with the dine in for two main, side, dessert and wine deal

    Edit: Possible 2 x dine in for two meals for £15 as the £30 minimum spend is off all items at full price usually £36ish for 2 deals - credit BillyBits

    In theory you could go to waitrose, get your free coffee, free daily Mail and some packs of the Linda Mccarthy red onion and rosemary sausages that are on offer for 85p (according to mysupermarket yesterday) - now many - 3???

    Even the taxman (or woman;)) gets his/her share from the new carrier bag charges.
    ......
    Personally I'm doing the contrary to the policy aim - namely stocking up on carrier bags every time I go to a shop now
    I've got hundreds - bin liners.

    At last:D:j:T. (With the Calais blockades having caused us so much trouble:(.) I am removing the £1:eek: (expensive!:laugh:) kids apples - that have been going from 9 pack to 8 and back to 9 again:mad: in M more than I've had hot dinners - as, at long last, we now have this:

    Gala apples packs in Aldi - 59p.

    These are "minimum 5"; however I found the packs in my Aldi store had quite a few more than 5 apples in them.

    yes, still a bargain even at 85p - I think I used to buy them at £1.50 in a sada v waitrose shop

    I wish I'd screen shot yesterday page on mys - certain it was 70p, not an amount you would make up :)
    mys is always playing mind games with me :D

  • For those of you who don't use your mobile phone that much. It's finally here - after a long wait!
    Get 200mins, 200 texts and 200MB data every month for free!

    Been waiting SO long for this one to start. It's a US company that has been going in US for a while. At the moment it looks like they are going to charge £1.99 for 100 minutes roaming in US -which is cheaper than buying a US Sim BUT elsewhere on site it says 99p & on American site it looks like it's possibly free roaming - so we wait & see. Don't know if you can just buy a months worth of roaming at a time?

    You can get more data by inviting friends 10MB/month each.

    Be careful when signing up for this that you tick the LAST box as the 1st box will make it free ONLY for the 1st month. When you go onto the next page untick the option to roll up your MB which costs £1.49pm?

    The sim costs £5 + £1.99 delivery so hopefully that'll be the only charge us light users will ever be charged.

    I still have £15+ credit on my Kontakt sim - which didn't cost me anything at all, so hope I can keep the 2 of them going until this is used up.

    200 of everything is fine for me & I know there will be a few of you on here that it's enough for too.

    when I was in Spar yesterday they had bags of little green apples by the till, there own branded packs for 50p - could have been small Granny Smiths

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend
  • QOC - was going to remind you of the Shaw bags for 25p. Seems like lots of you took advantage when I posted the link & now they are no longer on their site. As they have been 25p for the last 3-4yrs or so, hopefully they will get more in BUT whether they'll still be 25p is anyone's guess. They may be as there are quite a few slightly differently printed ones now.

    It's instore only now - if yours has some left.

    Thank you. Needing another phone to use instead of giving out my own phone number to people I don't want to have my main contact number! ;)
    I've been looking at redemption deals but can't find anything with a smart phone as want to add a O2 sim to it. :) This will do, BUT when I go to check availability it ask me to add another email address. :( Don't know why as it's the standard email I use for comps etc that filters into another inbox. :o Any ideas?
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
