    Yes, 75p in my store too. Seem to remember someone saying they'd dropped to 50p in theirs :cool:

    The Pizza Express salad dressings are RTC too. The House dressing is 75p and COS are also giving 50p CB on these, so 25p after CB. The Sicilian dressing is 75p

    I've seen those Pizza Express dressings rtc somewhere but can't remember:o

    Just had a cuppa that wasn't quite hot enough.........hate that.......rain here but set to brighten up later. Just washing the last of the bedding and towels from our weekend visitors to free myself up for the weekend:)

    Think I've persuaded myself to try the Weetabix with treacle:rotfl: Mr TM is usually good at hoovering up unwanted cereal that I don't like:)

    Off to put a shop together.....remember the A fig rolls bought in 2's @£1 compare to M at 70p for 2.....one of chrissyv's specials:A

    Morning folks!

    Lots of work today......I am laying the base ready to re-lay my patio.....Waiting for Mr Jewsan to bring me some materials to start....

    Find anything interesting under the old patio? :D Or are you putting something under the new one :eek::eek:

    :rotfl:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Just spotted the frijj are down to 65p in T and 50p on sloppy.....might be worth banging into a T comparison shop.

    Also the Branston beans are 50p in A and 2 for £1 in T so 60p for 2 tins after sloppy

    If you have a womble you need to use, get a Hellmans squeeze mayo on its own in A for £1.50 use the 50p Greenredeem coupon and 40p back on sloppy......not bad for 60p:)

    does anyone have Marks shares and if so do they still get shareholders perks or benefits - I seem to think share holders used to get vouchers after Christmas for cafe drinks and food ???
    mind you that was some years ago

    and yes I should have had Carnival shares years ago but I had a best price in my head of £25 and they have not been that much for decades (except maybe the day when Concordia happened sadly)
    also to get your 100 shares would have been £2500 - as much as a cruise itself.
    when we first started cruising Mr T was generous and he part paid for the first 2.5 - that time 6 years ago really we should have bought shares then but the finances would not have stretched enough - hindsight is a wonderful thing

    The annoying thing is that DD and her BF were half thinking about moving to Yorkshire and some of the houses were bigger than ours for about 1/6th of the price :eek: They came to the conclusion they would rather stay down here though, jobs etc. But we could move up there and end up with a massive house, almost tempting!

    You'll always get more bang for your buck the further north you go but most can't deal with the weather/ lack of amenities etc.

    We sold 6 bed, 50 acres, stables, 2 double garages, 2 workshops, you'd probably buy that nearly twice over with what your house is worth :eek: God know what it would have been valued at if it had been 600 miles further south.

    thanks marmite for your list, I forgot about the biscuits!!


    Thanks to the those who have mentioned me being here and yes I went and got a few tins yesterday as bbq beans and spag and sausages are very popular here, may go and get some more later just for the sake of it as long expiry x Just finished my cuppa and fed rocky will put a new picture on later as he is changing so much at the moment, and really filling out - he is currently in the corner of his cage puffed up happy and content x

    Bisquits seemed a good price...3 FOR £1:50 A's comparing against 35p in Morries...Good fillers
