    I had a sneaky peek in Mr Shoes too bubbs.....plenty of the sanctury star sets and a few of the scholl diamond pedi things...but I really didnt need either so I let the lady who was working out how much she could sell them for have them.

    I did find a couple of boxes of totes thick chunky mens slipper socks which I would have bought if there had been a pair in each box...but 2 different designs and only one foot in each box....the mind boggles at what happened to the other one of each pair!

    Well, went to T to get UpnGo and it seems they haven't brand-matched because the Vanilla and Choc both scan the same, as 'drink' which brought my number of items down to 9 instead of 10.

    Some you win, some you don't, hey ho...

    So be careful, don't rely on different flavours of UG to make your items up to 10.

    This was a Metro shop, btw, don't know if that made a difference.

    CoS will help a bit here, but I've never paid so much for these before, feel a bit miffed.
    it depends whether the barcode is the same/or not

    Thank you - they are definitely different.

    I got 8 own brand items - custard; longlife milk; yoghurt; beans; mousse; ketchup; stuffing; choc

    plus 3 choc and 2 vanilla UG.

    These went through as one entry x 2, plus 3 individuals, all well spaced out in the receipt. Most odd.

    Shame Amazon don't sell stamps. Can't think of anything I need that I would be happy paying £40 for.

    Afternoon all - you can all stop panicking now, I am back from the very sunny and snow less Canaries and Madeira :rotfl:

    who is at a loose end this afternoon - tell me what I've missed - 2 weeks off line ... :eek:

    So far I've looked at Nectar and nothing very exciting has happened. There seems to be a few odd new free things on Q click snap.

    I tried to find the FB couponing page but he brain is too foggy and I cant find i8t.

    Treacle cat is draped all over the keyboard making typing fun :rotfl:

    Ok, I confess, I bought twine :o Fizz and bargain whites. The bargain whites were very new world sauvignon blanc heavy, but dont mind that. For a £98 outlay we got:

    Freixenet Cava Brut - £10
    Moet & Chandon Imperial - £32.50 :D
    Plaza Centro Prosecco - £14
    Andre Carpentier champagne - £13
    Tesco Finest Premier Cru - £19
    Jacobs Creek Chardonnay fizz - £10 :(

    Manuka Bay Sauv Blanc x 2 - £20
    Mud House Sauv Blanc x 2 - £17.50
    Brancott Terroir Sauv Blanc x 2 - £26
    Hardys Chardonnay Semillon x 2 - £9.90 yuck
    Seven Seeds Sauv Blanc x 2 - £18
    Brancott Sauv Gris - £9
    Manoir de Hersandiere Muscadet Sevres et Maine - £9

    So a total of £207.90 for £98 spent (although I know a number of them will have been cheaper when on offer). I would have liked a bit more French and a bit less New Zealand but pretty happy overall. I hold LEJC entirely responsible of course :heart2:
