    Tiny..it's times like this that I miss our local coop and superdrug...both used to be really good for picking up odd bits and reduced...but one closed down and the other became a savers....and its now a 20mile round trip to find the nearest one.

    Gosh that's a long trip, I thought Co ops were all over the place. :(

    I'm lucky there are 2 superdrug one in central town and one along a main road close to where family live/on way to JL. :D I used to also go to another one bit further out when the 20p bits are around but that has turned into a Savers too!

    We have quite a few co ops this way, the one with the reductions is a small store within walking distance. The one on the way to town had nothing reduced when I looked the other day, it's not supermarket sized either. I remember when there have been other reductions like some wine once. :o that it wasn't reduced there but it was in my local. :cool: We also have another one opened on the way to the big Sainsbobs, so I popped in there after xmas and got a few bargains. :money:

    I don't usually venture into the supermarket sized Co op I should really it's near the other Superdrug. Although couple years ago they halved the size of it another shop next door now. It was good to go when we had those Nouvelle vouchers for some reason they were cheaper there. ;)

    oops I was desperate Tiny....schoolgirl error I should have checked better....

    Although my wine rack is so empty I could pop back for another 2 boxes and still use some more CC vouchers up....with Di's codes this time.
