I don't know who pointed out the Virgin money thing but I am so grateful. (Was it you, RedFox? I've searched but can't find it.) In case anyone else doesn't know, if you have a Virgin money a/c, you get 10% off some Virgin advance tickets. I've just booked for next month and saved myself a packet so am very grateful.

I hope you didnt save much over a tenner, or a rail card might have been better.

What rail card could I get that might help me get a cheaper ticket to IDH I was looking other day and could only see friends and family. I can be bit dozy at times. . TIA

I'm still in my ex netto, they've just bought out a cage of frozen foods, all 20p. They are allowed to keep it on the cage for 20 mins then it has to go back and so on. Funky fish salmon, scampi, cauli cheese etc and I cleared the 12 bags raw tiger prawns as nobody wanted them :eek:

right place right time...good for you

Thanks for the thought, Dave. Very sadly I am not eligible for a railcard for a couple of years yet and my new NUS card doesn't work on the youth one as you have to be full time.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the 10% works on tickets with railcards too. Must test it when Mum next comes.

DOH!! Just checked MSM and A have UP & GO on offer at 5 (250ml) for £4.00, Mr T online shows £1.39 each.
NOT SEEN ANY ON MY MR T THOUGH.
I did buy the 330ml and voucher went through for £1.79 without a prompt.
Sooo…. Theoretically buy 5 of 3 different types of UP & GO (250ml) in Mr T costing (5 x £1.39) £6.95. 5 MOCs @ £1.79 each = £8.95. BM for (5 x 59p) £2.95. spend £6.95 less (£8.95 + £2.95) £11.90 = £4.95 PROFIT.
ALSO (Thanks to SW42)
Soup
1x
C&B BRITISH BROCOLI &STILTON SOUP 400G
£0.60 † £0.50 n/a n/a
1x
C&B BEST OF BRITISH WINTER VEG 400G
£0.60 † £0.50 n/a n/a

£0.60 † £0.50 n/a n/a
1x
C&B BRITISH PEA & HAM SOUP 400G
£0.60 † £0.50
5 mixed cans at 5 for £3.00 with 5 30p MOCs, BM to A £0.50 = Net cost £2.00 for 5 cans.
COMBINE with UP & GO still £2.95 PROFIT

Ice Cream in Mr T £3.50 each or 3 for £5.00 if my memory serves… Buy 3, use 3 £1 vouchers, deal valid until 14/11, MOC vailid until 9/11
STILL 95p in PROFIT
Buy some everyday stuff that is NOT branded, so will not BM compare for say £5.00 and only pay £4.05 for :
5 breakfast drinks
5 soups
3 x 500ml Ice Cream ( I like the vanilla, so hands off LOL)
£5.00 of other stuff, Total initial cost at T £19.95 down to £4.05
*******NEEDS TO BE CONFIRMED AND STOCK CHECKED IN YOUR LOCALS******
PPS Can someone check my calculations please.

Hi TS

If you travel with another person there is something called Two Together (I think). Or if you are deaf or have some other qualifying disability, there is a disability railcard which also gives discounts if there is someone travelling with you. Other than that, I don't know. I think one of the southern areas used to have a railcard which anyone could buy but I don't know.

Sorry, quick update... Up & Go reduced in T's to £1.00 from tomorrow, but net effect the same £4.95 profit:

buy 5 of 3 different types of UP & GO (250ml) in Mr T costing (5 x £1.00) £5.00. 5 MOCs @ £1.79 each = £8.95. BM for (5 x 20p) £1.00. spend £5.00 less (£8.95 + £1.00) £9.95 = £4.95 PROFIT.
