ok so I think I need my wine buffs help and advice...

one case has the sherry which we wouldn't drink .....theres a bottle of something blason that's £20 a pop,a fizz,a blue nun and a combined total of £79 without 2 bottles that I can't price up.....

I can live with that...

so I open the 2nd case....and am greeted by 2 bottles of 0% sorelle....what's that all about in a wine case!!!

What are your thoughts on returning them.....
I'll carry on pricing up the rest of the case.

has anyone checked their Sainsburys mycoupons list recently?

I've just checked both OHs and mine - nothing on either list we have ever bought before or even anything similar to what we have bought before.

The few items I might have considered choosing to put onto the list when I checked mysupermarket for prices every single item was cheaper in other supermarkets - not just odd pence but some things over £1 cheaper :eek:

and double points for a £10 shop so that's an extra 10 points - as if I would spend £10 in one go

I also checked nectar although most things seem due for renewal next Thursday. I've got double points for fuel, 500 points for BP - no BP garages for miles around and another one where you have to scan 5 times to get bonus points - I always put things through the SS one item at a time (or enough items to make up a pound)

My only reason for going up this afternoon is to take the recycling, do a clothing return and get my one free yogurt set

could you put all of the rejected ones into one case and then see how bad it looks - sherry, sorelle, fizz, blue nun etc - it does sound like you have most of a case that needs to go back - not sure how you do that though, do you have to take it instore?

I'm really struggling on the 2nd case now...it's got 2 reds in it too....I think I will phone them

Morning All.

Just had my BG confirmation from the collective switch, dd of £112, was expecting £66 per month!!
Panicked at first, logged into my account and was able to change the amounts to just over £80 per month, still more than expected as I hate direct debits for energy accounts, but the overall expected savings should be £315, so worth it in the end.

thanks to the peeps who have discussed it and glad I have taken the plunge.
