afternoon all

Todays shop - I got 4 u&g instead of 5 :mad: I suppose thought if Id got the 5th I would have needed to do more shopping and today was just a few odds and ends and food bank stuff. I could have got 2 more cinnamon for COS I suppose ...

As it was I only paid a bit of loose change so not a total disaster

Good afternoon
As I need to order a few things from Argos I thought that I would take advantage of the quidco offer but can't work out how much I need to spend ( to take account of vat) ?
Can anyone help please?
I know that there was an earlier post about it but now I can't find it.
Thanks x

VAT is 20% so get a calculator, divide the full cost of what you are looking at by 6 then multiply by 5, that will give you the cost without VAT.

Eldest child says if anyone wants spring bulbs and lives in herts then go to Wilkinson's in St Albans - they have masses all reduced to 50p - mixed bags of white and yellow daffs, crocus in weird yellow and purple colours and even the big 2.5 hessian sacks of bulbs - still be good for putting into pots especially the little crocus. The daffs are good space fillers if you are still digging out the dead summer stuff

Have had Mum in tow so thought I was doing a muggle shop except also hoping that the Yazoo vouchers would go through full price, which they did. Very surprised to get a brand match as I thought the whoopsies would have killed it off and expected the steradent to compare badly to A.

Was very tempted to get more milk but have just made yoghurt and three lots would be OTT!

Yesterdays shop from sada - not a total success as Mr T seems to have risen some of his prices on the tea, pepsi and u&g

But at least I did get some APG and £7 from COS cashback so better than nothing
