    Thanks juju for the edam. Bought my ball from Sainsburys today using conditional spend £4 off £20. Used a couple of other coupons so my final bill was £13... so less than the cheese. Can't believe what people put in their trollies - dont expect they checked my supermarket.
    Farmfoods - 5 alpen apple cereal bars 49p and try me free birds eye chocolate croissants £1.25. Checked on my supermarket no one else seems to sell these. Going to try asda tomorrow for whoopsies and bakery man said he thought reductions would be between 1 and 2 but I thought this a bit early considering they dont close till seven. Got 2 jacobs biscuits in wilkos and couldnt help feeling I got ripped off! No loo rolls in my m&s.
