Don't forget in S tomorrow when you are doubling up, the free Light and Free Greek yoghurt on CS.
I managed to get one today, first time I have seen them in my store.
Called in to see if they still have the coat I fancy, plus to check out the wine!curl girl with a space - even though there is no space in my cupboard!!!0 -
Ive been going through the Amex small shops list again looking - like a dog worrying a bone

Specifically Ive been looking at the local cafes to see if they have any have lunch time offers or early bird offers - so far nothing and most had not even got webpages. One offered a free piece of toast with a coffee - not impressed.
I was thinking that when we go to the chip shop or have a cheese bacon toastie in Morrison's then we would spend about £8 - reckless thrill seekers that we are :rotfl:
So if i can find an early bird offer or a lunch offer for say £6 or £7 each so £12 or £14 for 2 - after the £5 amex comes off it works out much the same as our normal treat but far more exciting
There are loads listed for Chester - might have more success trawling through this list ....
I have done similar. Noting which place has early bird/set meals/sunday lunches. The salons which do cheap treatment. The newsagents for stamps, take-aways, the discrete mailing service and the adult sex shops!100 -
Hi Bubbs, please can I be really cheeky and ask you to pm me any info regarding the up and go vouchers. I have spent ages trying to work out how to print off the vouchers from the online metro and have failed miserably. Many thanks.
I posted the other day how to use the snipping tool to print off u g0 -

I might invest in some toothbrush heads from the myriad of dentists round here who apparently take Amex. My own dentist, with whom I seem to spend a small fortune, of course does not take it.0

I've found a micro brewery that do beers in a fancy box. You pick your own. I've worked out a £10 combination:)
