You're welcome i have never cooked duck:eek:
Mhoc you are better of buying c and b in 4's and the green labels as they are on offer at 50p , eg tom, chicken, mushroom and another i cant remember:rotfl:

I was trying to figure this out

There are 4 versions with green labels - which are 50p in sada but according to mysupermarket mr T does not stock them

but anyway I think the MOCS are for the non green labels - not that I suppose it really matters anyway as they are both crosse and blackwell

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=crosse%20and%20blackwell%20soup

I just got 4 of the best of british ones today as mr t has a 5 for £3 offer which would have interfered with the brand guarantee

I am thinking that if I do bread and soup as soon as OH strolls through the door in the afternoon after work then I might be able to stop the incessant biscuit eating (and crumb dropping) OH seems addicted to. Well that's the theory anyway.

Today though my actual real spend was so little the soups went straight into the food bank trolley.

Why do I still keep getting C4rling ...? I have plenty but free is free and devices had the free 4 packs lined up .

I just need to work out how to get through th m without turning into an alcoholic - there is only so much family will accept, Christmas fairs are an option for tombola - any other ideas?

How long after BBE would they be okay to dribk?

After the free 4 packs they now have £1 off - when kogged out it is £5 9(( 12/15 packs then free 4 pack again, assuming that then came up after claiming the £5 voucher. I wonder if the reason why some of us got )1 instead of the full free pack claim is due to the front and back end showing different offers (so we see and claim free 4 pack, system is seeing )1 as that was the next voucher lined up before we logged out to claim)?

Thanks

my Mr T also alongside the foodbank trolley has a collection point for things like sleeping bags for the local homeless hotel and also another collection point whereby some one has had the idea to do shoebox type gifts for homeless and there was a basket for donations.

Not sure about this latter idea but even so its something to think about. Someone had put a tin of soup on top which I thought was maybe not such a good idea. I thin k tomorrow I might go and discreetly move that into the food bank trolley and put upandgo in its place instead.

I am going to give this some thought though as I think I have some disposable razors which are always useful and plenty of spare mens toiletries like hair gel. I've possibly got spare chocolate as well - I read somewhere that people living on the streets really appreciate sweet treats.

Spare chocolate??? What is this thing you speak of?! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Snap with HSBC

snap here with HSBC as well, in all about a month to fully open.

I am wondering now wether to just close the account altogether - we have got a small branch in our local town so I could just pop in and do it.

Or use it as a donor account for switching but I've got a spare Nationwide acc ready for that

little squares of P & O chocolate

I am totally ruined now and cant eat normal chocolate. If I can get some posh lindt or green and blacks bars or even Tesco finest flat bars in thrilling cardboard sleeves for about £1.50 or so I will eke the squares out over a few days or totally do without.

Mind you they were sampling new Thorntons Christmas boxes in sainsbobs this afternoon so I did volunteer

:rotfl::rotfl: Never heard of that in my place either :rotfl:

The Up and Go are a godsend here on workdays too. And the Hipp now go to DD's childminder.

But the food bank is definitely getting a load of cans of glitchy Heinz Spag Bol and ditto Asda garden peas (fillers) - have discovered I'm not keen on either.

My store def accepted 4 u&g MOCs but I got 5 boxes - this is very puzzling.

was it green label tomato soup you got - its matched the sada 50p price - I was confused as mysupermarket said it did not stock them but obviously it does

If it is now open, switch an account in and claim the Cashback - keep it open a year and then get another £50 (T&Cs apply). Incentive should be based on date of application, not of opening . I mentioned before that last year I got the switching incentive even though the account wasn't opened due to complaining .
