Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread

Just checking Q clcikcy snappy and found the Icelandic yog with 75p cashback from Sainsbobs - I think it must have started when I was away which is why I've not noticed it.

ON COS its only giving me 20p - at least on my app

I am not sure of the price change over day in Sainsbobs but on mysupermarket its saying skyr is 60p

Trying to make a suitable list of reasons to go to sainsbobs which will depend on how late back OH is - so far one item to return, a little bit of plastic recycling and 3 yogurts on the shopping list for chasback - not really enough yet to justify the petrol

I've got 4 Giovanni Rana Simply Italian Ravioli 50p MOCs from the tatton food show which I might get if its still £1 in Sainsbobs (and mysupermarket are not lying to me again)
so tonights dinner might be a strange Italian Icelandic themed meal :rotfl:

Mine came yesterday too the 4pk cornetto are £1 in t & m if that's any good...
I'm off in a bit to get my 3 boxes:) fill up my spare freezer. I spent loads of time designing my new kitchen to squeeze in another freezer but I'm so busy working I don't get time to Bob on here to get the bargains and fill it up

4pk cornettos are 2 for £1.50 in Farmfoods if you have one nearby

Thank you - not found in stock yet but now saves me looking. It may be worth replying that under the picture it does state "Buy any product from the Fruit Bowl range" and suggest they should update to avoid others being disappointed.

Now the question is whether all singles are now off limits or whether you just hit on one not on the list (as others have claimed success). What did you buy please?

I'd be interested in that too

I've had them pay out on single bars that say "chocolate" on the receipt and single packs of rasp/strawberry/blackcurrant fruitflakes that say "f bowl rasp/straw/black"

Think M&S have reduced their sale stuff further there are some good bargains womens, mens and kids. Sizes are a bit random though.

But I have managed to get a beautiful dress and bolero and sandals for Teeny. Not particularly cheap but not the £40 they originally wanted for the dress. :eek:

Also got some tops for me for £2.39. :T You do have to sort through the colours to find the reduced ones....

There is also some books, puzzles and soft toys in the sale but according to HUKD stock was going fast.

still do it with a log burner, by leaving the door ajar

sorry Zippy I just don't get log burners.....I much prefer the open fires horses for courses I suppose!

We are even considering taking out a gas fire in the living room and replacing it with an open fireplace,already have one in the dining room and one bedroom.
We bought this natural flame type gas fire about 15 years ago and once it was in we hated it...it looks like a real fire but thats where the similarity ends.

We aren't as brave as Rhos with no other heating but there is something rather magical about watching the flames in a real fire.

Anyone looking to upgrade their board games might want to give this a go with Monopoly.

smyths are giving a free electronic version in return for a 50 monopoly note

I have replied - but I bought 3 x raspberry + 9 x strawberry singles, all in one shop with no other items. My Dh bought a few of the said varieties but with other items and they were rewarded a couple of days previous.
I think my downfall was buying all in 1 shop
