    Oh you're fewer than me. Or maybe you just wanted to pay 48p?:cool: Plus the cost of those expensive 10p fillers:rotfl:. They ought to put the prices down (actually that would see use paying much the same as then higher in M at 10p:laugh:) - if a Coke Zero 24 pack is 24p then a Haribo should be a penny. They should all be scaled down in proportion. Or even given for a fraction of a penny, rounded down, or paid to take it away:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Savvy I only have 2 hands and can't drive :o
    2 packs is better than none though :) only DD drinks the stuff anyway.

  • Well, I don't do coke, but I did get a £29.47 shop in Tesco down to £3.47 using vouchers and the gift card they sent me. I just hope the 4 packs of roasties are worth spending -£1 each on

    My flipping quote would not work properly... and my search is still not working.

    Could some kind soul point me in the direction of the roasties..:T:T:T:T




    I have finished coupon cutting.... 67 coupons! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Vouchers from some Tesco cashpoints, get as many as you like by getting printed balances, voucher scans at £2, McCain Roasties are currently £1, paid to take away :D

    Hello Bubbs :wave: I've missed you!
    Not going to bad, my instructor says I'm doing pretty well :) and my last lesson wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (I'd worried myself sick beforehand) so hopefully I'm slowly getting there :)
