    Hi. Does anyone know where you can buy ginger wine essence? Thanks.
    Our local chemist sells it, as do some coops which I found out after buying mine from amazon/ebay.

    Love this! I didn't see anything like it when I went yesterday, might have to go in with a photo and ask. How much were they please?

    Hi Arthien, I bought some of these last year. I have seen them again this year in HB, there are 3 or 4 different designs and they cost 69p each. They are in the Christmas aisle on the top shelf where the gift bags and decorations are in my store. hth

    If you have the coupons from the mag, worth trying the Spekulatius spiced biscuits (weight 600 g of bickies). £1.39 with 40% off from coupon, c. 83p a pack.

    I found the chocolate orange in smaller ex netto store and loads left. They were just in normal chocolate aisle, no big display. 50p sel and small sign saying 6 per customer.

    Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all well:) tweets good to hear that your mum is home:)
    Haven't posted for a little while as RL seems to have been a little busy recently. Went to Essex for 3 days, into London for 1 day to see Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, also went on the London Eye again and to Sealife:) Monday night went to Liverpool to see David Essex :smileyhea. Wednesday I was in mhoc's neck of the woods at the Olde Manor Carvery. Didn't visit any supermarkets there though so it wasn't me that has had all the U & G's (haven't even had any coupons for them) :rotfl::rotfl:
    I will try to post more often:) Oh and I need to go to Sainsbury's, I have £218 in points that I need to spend while the double up is on :j
    Enjoy the rest of your day everyone :)
