    Back from Mr T's who didn't have any balls of Edam.....but he did have two halves. I got the cheese counter guy to put the two (already weighed/priced) halves into a bag and weigh & sticker the bag. I didn't go as far as asking him to also add a small wedge to bump up the weight/price but no reason why not I guess.

    I'm sure he thought I was a bit odd. I guess he's right. 5 up & go, 4 hipps, a £15 amazon card, 10p sweets and an £8 off £40. Just over £12.50 of edam. Thanks for the tip off.

    May I ask what you used as a trigger for the chocs please?

    I don't know if it's already mentioned but 10 ways reporting £1 Christmas tree at B&Q.:D

    no trigger for the chocs sadly :mad:

    I just got the 3 we wanted as I needed to use up 2 big APGs and to get a few essential bits and pieces

    why 4 Hipps - I usually buy in sets of 6 (4 flavours)

    No soup or OS either? Better than buying 10p sweets :D

    I usually do
    6 Hipp (4 flavours)
    8 c&b tomato soup
    5 U&g
    6 OS sparkling water
    there are also 2 non matching OS carton juices for 67p and the dried cranberries are a good comaprison

    4 free cans of cider on SM, no good to me, at Tesskies, too far to travel.
    Marzipan all made and bagged up ready to put on the cake some evening this week.

    Still the madness that is new year to come after that. And the bank holidays inbetween.
