    well done, how long did it take you to get there? about 12 months?

    Yes probably around that, a few minutes here a few minutes there, worth it in the end :D That will pay for our new binoculars.

    Star wars 6mini packs of strawberry biscuits farmfoods 39p
    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/star-wars-6mini-packs-strawberry-biscuits-farmfoods-39p-2488836

    Not just this but other biscuits too. Fox's Party Rings 39p in FF (Football version were/are(?) 10p in M - I really doubt if anyone will have those around anymore, but - in stuck record fashion again:o - I can't exclude the possibility that one store out of 500 might have them - if they happened to leave some stock, undiscovered, in the back storage for months and have only just discovered it again and put it among the normal Party Rings stock on the shelf - in a similar fashion, maybe, to how I had a Santa Selection box still around in just one store in April - it's probably about the same amount of time now since the Football Party Rings were more generally in M at 10p).

    Back to FF - the supermarkets are so expensive! - they also have pouches of sweets (Bassett's Allsorts, Jelly Babies, Sports Mix etc.) at 39p. However, that's way too expensive as big cartons of Jelly Babies and Sports Mixture were (are?) 50p in M.

    I wasn't even going to mention these items - just to say that I'd found something where, generally, the supermarkets are so expensive, with their £1 prices on these items, but you mentioning the biscuits now has made me mention this. So, ignore them as it just means you're spending 39p you wouldn't have done (I know you would never have bought into the supermarket's 'offer' prices of £1 anyway). It's moneysaving compared to buying at £1 in the supermarket:money:, but since you are buying tempting sweets that you wouldn't have bought at all otherwise, it's not actually moneysaving but getting you to spend more money than you would have done. I'm staying at home:rotfl: - there, I've saved the full £1 instead of merely 61p!
