Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread

This afternoons Mr T shop :j
I had a Mr T direct order to collect and 2 big bags for the food bank plus a bit of shopping needed so all jobs completed.
All MOCs scanned nicely except one :T - the OS ones didn't work last week, had to take them to CS but this week they were fine. It was the cheese one I had to take to CS today but sometimes they don't work if you try to use them in the same week as they arrive.
The OS cranberries I discovered this morning I was lacking so this was a late addition to the shopping list.
(these make a nice nibble bowl with walnuts, brazils, peacans and chocolate pennies
These dried cranberries and the coffee, milk, water, OS juice, crisps, tomatoes and cheese came home, the rest - u&g, soup, tea and baby food went into the food bank as usual
OH has been drinking the OS and liking it so its saving me £1 a time as I am not buying his Pepsi max.
Also found a double points till spit in the car park
The last lot of conditional spends sent in a mailing from Mr T were for £30 shops which was too much of a challenge, I can barely do £20 shops, so I gave these and my sainsbobs conditional spends and till spits to my local couponing friend - far better than getting them wasted by not using them

Absolutely ...but I guess you would miss it if they suddenly decided that you didn't need it.....there always has to be a selection box too.

Here's hoping that the second go at your mum's op will have a better outcome x

I always used to put mini boxes of breakfast cereal in our stockings - that was Christmas morning breakfast :rotfl: -

Just seen this across on 10 ways for £10 - its the 3 litre version and there seems to be plenty of stock at least for now

Tesco SCSS12 3L Slow Cooker

http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-scss12-3l-slow-cooker/662-4395.prd?skuId=662-4395&pageLevel=sku

Might be a good present for a cook or if you are not sure if you would make use of one its a good starter - if it is that you don't get on with it after a few months then you can Freecycle it, not too expensive

He used to live very local to me in fact my uncle was in a band with him before Greg had his big break. They used to practice in my nan's front room. :A

Another one gone young

I bought this at the start of the year to replace the previous T 3.3L one I had which had been well-used. But I had to chuck this one after just a few uses as everything I did in it used to stick and burn. Don't know whether it has a different coating on the pot or something but I've always used mine overnight on low and it just didn't work properly at all. I've got one from Argos for double the price now and it's been fab, so at least I know it wasn't just my cooking :rotfl:

I bought one a few weeks ago to use up a conditional spend over black friday...I've put it away for DS for next year when he moves into rented rather than halls...I'm now wondering if I should get it out to give it a trial run whilst I still have the receipt in a reasonable date
