I have just started to make my own yoghurt. Got a bit of a health scare recently and am watching sugar. Was told to go for the full fat yoghurts as they have less sugar and are more filling. But when I look at the sugar content, it still seems a lot and I'm not sure if it is natural sugar or added. I've been lusting after an Instant Pot for ages so the decision to make yoghurt plus it being on offer at Costco meant I could no longer resist temptation and I'm enjoying my new toy hugely. I get lovely thick yoghurt and have taken to mixing some of it with the Muller corners which are too sweet for me too. It's a new treat and I'm due to make my third batch of yoghurt this week. With 4 pints of milk selling for £1, it's not an expensive playtime either!

Can I ask which one you bought please, been thinking about one of these for ages. My nan had one years ago and swore by it. Agree the muller lights are too synthetic tasting for me and I love the idea of completely natural. Thanks

A problem is developing regarding me being able to go to M tomorrow or indeed to do much on Wednesday either this week. I shall see if the problem resolves itself by the morning - or I might leave the list off for a week.

Haven't we had a couple of incidents recently where the T price is picked up on the APG the day before the price changes in T?

I've long regarded the last day of the offer as no-go as prices online may change the day before - prices online are for delivery tomorrow. The one that caught me out was T putting the price up to full price on Sunday in order merely to roll the offer over - the prices on the APG went to full price for a day or two and then back down:mad:. As regards the Mullers, I think it depends whether t.com changes to a new price before the APG afternoon update. T.com could of course do it piecemeal and remove mbuys from some or put them to a different mbuy price and make mix and matching risky - could then get full price on all of them depending on the haphazardness of t.com.

As regards new offers (which the Mullers aren't - we want the old offer), the APG has often been in sync with the actual prices in T - prices may change to show tomorrow's offer but the APG not actually pick it up until tomorrow.

If someone has left it until now, I'd be shopping very early doors tomorrow and checking the receipt as soon as the three hours is up just to try to be on the safe side. This was entirely foreseeable and preventable though - why has anyone waited until now? I think I avoid the last day of the offer for the reasons the new price may show online and avoid the first day of new offers as well in order to give well enough time for them to be picked up.

Anyway, I was only here because of my potential problem with M tomorrow:rotfl:, so I'll see you later!:wave:

It's hardly RL though - I'd forgotten I'd committed myself for/been booked for something else this week.

JF back in stock!

Not sure how to check how much stock there is in Mr Shoes, got what I needed by going through normal search. Home page, search for "John Frieda Bundle" selected the bundle and got what I needed.

Morning Folks,

I have just Googled Instant Pot......what a great toy! I shall put this on my wish list!

I have 2 yoghurt makers which I found in Charity shops for about £1. (Presumably they didn't know how much these things cost to buy new!). They are having a rest at the moment while we take advantage of the Mullers! I have been making my own versions of Muller Corners with the Hipp baby food, if DD hasn't used them all in smoothies.

The extra bonus of shopping at Costco is the 2 pack of milk for £1.50, which makes your yoghurt even more affordable!

Hairdressers today. Can't remember what time I booked it for! .....Poor old dear.

Have a lovely day!
