Nice potential list - its a pity about the baby food. I have huge issues with trying to find the correct versions and finding stores that sell them.

Possibly the free blind pig for Shopimum on this list as well?

Mind has melted after this.
It is Blue Sky thinking AND not tested


Bare with me if these have already bean poynted out.

A vs S

SHOPMYMUM
Free Fuel quark A £1.43 S £.075 PAG £0.75

Nakd Barrs 2 offers BOGOF so can buy 4 different A £0.74 S £0.75 Total pay £2.94, CB £1.48 PAG £0.24 so net £1.22 for 4 bars.

CoSsy

7 Different types of C&G baby food, buy 2 get £1, A 4 for £3, so 75p each, S 60p each, so buying in 4s you pay £3, get £2 CB and PAG for £0.76, so net £0.24 for 4, 6p each (foodbank for me)

colgate max white expert 75ml buy 2 get £6, 6 each but compares to S £3, net 60p profit PAG £6.60

CS
Colgate again 60p profit, best to not use same receipt as CoSy



So one shop Vs S

Fuel Free PAG profit £0.75
Nakd 4 bars net payment £1.22
4 different C&G in pairs, so buy 8 net £0.48
Colgate 2 net PAG profit £0.60 V CoSsy

So 9 DIFFERENT items, no fillers needed, net pay at till £22.39, CB £12.91, PAG £9.11, so overall 37p cost for it all (I think)

Shop 2 A Vs S
2 other C&G in pairs buy 4 net 24p
Colgate 2 net pag profit 60p using CS
= 3 different items, need at least 5 filler, 6 for safety, so spend £18 plus fillers. CB £8.00 PAG £7.36
Net to pay £2.64 plus fillers
You could use 2 walkers as filler A = free , S 1.70, but 10% rule means a net profit of 24p PAG, so only 3 fillers needed and net £2.40 excluding them

So for 2 shops will be under £3 for
1 fuel
4 nkd bars
12 C& G
4 Colgate
2 crisps(?)

And pop into !!!!!! for free 2l Fanta at end

SORRY Cow & Gate is £1 in Sains, APART from Courgette and chicken pasta & Cauliflower and turkey, which ARE 60p.
My mistake, sorry

My local food bank puts announcements on their facebook page of things they are short of.
They always seem to be short of tinned streamed puddings - its always puzzled me.
They never were a big event on our menus and it must have been 20 years since I last bought them.
Does anyone eat tinned sponge pudding nowadays?

I cannot find it, think its a bit dangerous heating a can in water.
Tinned rice pudding 20p, that with fruit would be a nice dessert IMHO

Yes, thats my thought as well, we just don't boil cans in water anymore so novice cooks wont realise they can explode if the water runs out.
Plus if your electric is on a metre these take a while to cook - at least rice pudding can be eaten cold or warmed very quickly in the microwave

I tried to find a price for these but I could only see a brand called Simpkins in Asda - £1 a tin - rice pud is 20p in Aldi and 33p for canned peaches so thats 4 tins for the price of one sponge pudding

Please can anyone help ?

Can you not just buy them and then exchange them later as 'you weren't paying attention and picked up the wrong size'

I sent an email to local foodbank asking what they need. They thanked me for other donations and sent me this list or needed items.

At the moment we are requiring tinned fruit and veg, longlife milk and fruit juice, sanitary products for women and baby food, nappies and wipes.

We have plenty beans, soup, pasta and cereal.
Looks like C&G are gonna get a hit from me. Will also see about other things too, as I have had a good 3 4 2 shopping spree and feel a moral obligation to share a bit of my good fortune. OH, PS,

UHT Semi Skimmed milk 6 pack compares to S net 64p for each litre, AND adds weight to donation through !!!!!!

£4.75 7.9p / 100ml

£4.25

All the foodbanks need different things, mine at the moment want cereal (amongst other things) but not tinned fruit or fish. Just google your food bank donations *your area* and it should tell you what they are in need of.

Additional £2.50 CB on £5 spend, one transaction only. Not sure if it applies to Snap & Save, In an email where you need to click to activate

Actually it might be £5 plus vat whatever that works out at - £6 to be on the safe side possibly.

What to spend £6 on - Ive used up my £5 off tops from Marks sparks, annoying as that would have filled the crieria.

Possibly something from Superdrug with free delivery - I wonder if they have loo paper in stock.
Or loo paper from Wilkos for free store collection and they also sell the giant cat food boxes

Bumped into Bubbs recently and promised I'd pop back
Changed jobs again, so now I'm working a lot less hours, have much less stress but earning a lot less (have spent the last year working 45 hours a week :mad: and not seeing my kids)
Need to get back into the elite way to make up for the loss in income
Hope everyone is ok
