    But some Elite who have been playing the banking/savings game for years must know they will be over the limit so what will happen at the end of the tax year?

    They send you a refund, eventually. Or if you are due tax they will ask you to pay it or can adjust your tax code for next year if you are working.

    Morning :)

    Multi missing off new Princes & Del Monte canned fruit offer, £1.00 each or 2 for £1.50

    https://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-pound350/ls87467

    Some (not all) of the Princes are on offer in Tesco at 80p each. Making them 47p a can (thanks squigs :T ) I can’t see any good comparison for the Del Monte.

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=Princes%20fruit


    24 pack Weetabix golden syrup flavour not updated as yet, £2.68 each, offer 2 for £4.00. Confirmed working yesterday.

    https://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-pound350/ls87511

    On offer in Morries at 2 for £3.00. £5.36 v £3.00 so £1.34 for 2 boxes after APG.


    Multi still missing off Heinz meals, offer 5 for £3.00.

    https://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-pound350/ls87515

    Ravioli £1.00, Macaroni Cheese £1.05, Spaghetti Bolognese £1.07 and Spaghetti with Sausages £1.05. On offer in Waitrose 2 for £1.50.

    Buy in 10’s. Confirmed working yesterday, 21.5 p a can after APG


    The Heinz Chilli beans, BBQ Beans and Beans Curry, all 95p, on offer in Morries 2 for £1.50.

    Buy in 10’s. £3.25 for 10 tins. Confirmed working last night, thanks to marmite’s shop.

    Thanks squigs for the sums :T

    Might be worth checking on asda link before shopping that they haven’t dropped the unit price (as they did with the cereals down to £2 a box).

    Multi still missing off the Kellogg's cereals but obviously not comparing as well as they could have.

    https://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-pound350/ls87518

    I didn’t notice any cereal confirmations yesterday.

    Good Morning
    Wrong link.The one highlighted is for uncle bens which looks like back on 2 for £3 so won't glitch today.
    This is the one for tin fruit.

    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

    You could have got them 8 years ago for £16 a share. £60 back for every weeks cruise, or £150 back for a 2 week cruise, and they tend to do good dividend payments, so someone buying then would have had their money back by now easily if they cruised 2 weeks a year, and of course their £1600 worth of shares would now be worth £4650 :eek:
