    Just to confirm that I, too, have just been to One Stop and bought 36 Andrex loo rolls for £12, thank you, Anon. The email came through immediately. Fridge and freezer are full but loo-roll stash was looking small, so that seemed the best option for me!

    Really glad to have been able to help. Usually I benefit from others. Now going to look for other One Stop stores!

    I did a 1Stop test shop last night as I couldn't resist - no email and no account credit just yet :(. Why did you buy 3 though? I bought Cheestrings for 2x£1 to make it to £10 - no point spending £12 as you are only getting £5 back, so your third pack of toilet rolls cost you £3 :eek:.

    If it is definitely working, I have 5/6 1Stops round here and 6 Amex between us, so may have a considerable stash of toilet rolls and other items by the end of the weekend.

    The challenge is not to be buying things just for the sake of it and check their "normal" price is not much higher than supermarket offers - as an example, these Andrex toilet rolls 12 packs at £4 work out great value, Pringles at £1.50 (so 75p after the discount) are not worth getting in bulk as you can get them for 90p after APG anyway. Buy wisely.

    Just had a reply from my local food bank to say yes they do take baby food - Hipps, pouches, little jars etc - so no worries now about putting them into collections :j
