New on Q

L'Or!al Paris Elnett Hair Spray Normal

on mysupermarket - if I am looking at the right item its between £5 and £6.75 :eek:
Why is it so expensive - is this the one Cheryl Cole advertises, if so that explains it ...

I am still using up random mini ones

My Co op were selling these off for 30p a few months back

People were watching :eek::eek: Just had to keep calm and keep my dander up

GOODY!! 4 x 250ml U&G @ £1 each, buy £6 other stuff, get free coffee, free Guardian paper and pay a total of £2.84. A good deal, especially when on this residential course I get £5 for lunch :j

I have never understood why you would want to go public on this - but then, Martin did with an aspect of this on MSE and it hasn't done him any harm :money:..

She has an impressively organised stash too :cool:.

I would say getting up at 4.30am to search for deals is a tad extreme ... though having been instore in the middle of the night I am in no position to judge .

There is someone on one of the morning programmes that also has gone public - for example, offering advice like contacting companies to compliment them on their products (Jordan advised this too?) to get vouchers. I may be missing something., but I would suspect that will have short lived success if everyone suddenly starts doing it.

Looks like I have more UpnGo than she has :rotfl:

But a lot of it I don't see the point of - eg all those cans of furniture polish... Good luck to her though, she's doing well.

As for the early start, I am advised by my station that the Metro van arrives at 5.45 but I think that's a bit extreme. :rotfl:

YUP! I should have posted that I had tested it, just look in my cupboard. Can't find the Alpro dessert that was reduced to £1 for 4 pack, so with MOC it would be cheap, still have loads of ice cream from October. I need to look up diets and how to come off caffeine addiction.

Mr !!!!!! is def on my list for tomorrow - fingers crossed my store stocks this.
I think this sort of thing has a long shelf life but its something I am very low on anyway, soft drinks. Just have to persuade my OH that is better for him than pepsi ...
And when I run out of space again to stock pile it would be a good one for the food bank trolley

Those Alpro puds are really very good - I have also used a pot as an icecream topping and they go nicely on top of caramelised pears.

It is low cal and tastes good to me. shouldn't worry about use before dates too much ( as if that has stopped the Elite ).

On that tone, if you aren't worried about BB dates, there is approved foods, currently £6.32 for new customers on TCB. Also deals of the day. Just have to watch the weight limits.
