    Does anyone have any recommendations for bargains to be had when using the waitrose 10% off card please?

    I can see on the my picks for 20% off there are a couple of items which are also in the 3 for £10 meat promotion - chicken breast fillets and mince, so these should work out a good buy when combined with the extra 10%.

    Anyone noticed any others?

    SweetnSavvy posted a list the other day. I'll see if I can find it:)
