    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

    I had 4 coupons on me :). I've started reading I think after c&b and OS came up. Are they coupons too? Of course I could have had 4 cans of cider too it seems :beer:

    I think this is funny, got from the forum where i live

    I would like to wish everyone on the forum a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. Now living in the age that we do, I need to add some terms and conditions to my greeting.

    During this festive season, anyone planning to dash through the snow in a one horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way, is advised that a Risk Assessment will be required addressing the safety of an open sleigh..

    This assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers. I would also advise against dashing and would recommend a maximum speed of 10MPH unless seat-belts are fitted..

    Please note that permission must also be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered..

    To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance..

    Benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available for collection by anyone working as shepherds during this festive season and are planning or required to watch their flocks at night. While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all users of this facility are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks. This must be briefed to all shepherds and copies of signatures recorded..

    The angel of the Lord is additionally reminded that, prior to shining his/her glory all around, s/he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory..

    Following last years well-publicised case, everyone is advised that Equal Opportunities legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr R Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence..

    While it is acknowledged that gift bearing is a common practice in various parts of the world, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to our bribery policy and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual,.

    It is particularly noted that direct gifts of gold is specifically precluded, while caution is advised regarding other common gifts such as aromatic resins that may evoke allergic reactions, such as frankincense, myrrh and other well known High Street body & bath oils..

    Finally, in the recent instance of an infant found tucked up in a manger without a crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly..

    Have a Merry Christmas and a Safe New Year.

    Not sure if you could do an online order for these in time, I can confirm they are rather delicious as I opened a box of mine for quality control of course. :D And certainly a decent present on their own. :)

    If you have a mywaitrose card you can add them to "mypicks" for a further 20% off making them £2.13 a pack, and I'm sure there might be some online conditional spend codes if you are spending a lot. HTHs

    If you are spending £100 (I think), there are also come money off coupons.....

    I have peeled T spouts for dinner/tea tonight I didn't end up with many as they were either eaten by some thing else or infested with strange black pests of some description, the ones eaten by us were ok though :p
