HornetGirl, hope your tooth is getting better. I know of an excellent dentist in your area if you need.

Dust is not a concern. Everything will need cleaning anyway, and anything that needs protecting is packaged.



I know, our local supermarkets rarely put them out.

Might take a trip down Costco, but often their boxes are just too big.

I seriously expected bankers boxes to be cheaper, they are only cardboard!

A couple of ts near me put at the end of tills, morrisons also saved me some when i asked, lidl usually have lots about too

Thank you. Still sore but better than it was. I'm very tired now though.

Our local homebase leave them out at the end of the checkouts

I am lucky in this job I have acces to strong boxes when I need them but prefer the clear plastic ones

Tweets hope you feel better as the day goes on

HG toothache is so annoying hope it eases

Good morning everyone. Running late today as being busy in kitchen. Went to A late last night and hit on a massive woopsie frenzy. Apparently they are not reducing today in my local due to stock take so everything dated yesterday & today was being done. Shame my freezers are bulging as could have gone mad. The amount of fruit and veg for 5p was amazing. We will be eating very well this week. Spent £4 in total and got 4 good buys on lamb and chicken at 50p each and the other £2 as on 5p and 10p items. 4 nice buffalo mozzarrella for 10p each, peppers, red cabbage, veg packs, noodles, melon, satsumas, salad, posh tomatoes, stuffed mushrooms, potatoes, bread - all 5p each. There was so much on the shelves. Wish I had taken a photo to post.
Best of all, there were only 3 of us there and we were taking turns at choosing when there was only 1 or 2 of something.
Need a coffee and a catch up now.

Enterprise, our Lidl and Aldi have large stashes of boxes for people to take, as they try to discourage using plastic bags. Might be worth a try if you haven't got an Ikea nearby.

Off t'shops for my final weekly shop of the month! Definitely going to blow the budget but would be good if it comes in under £60.
