  • hmmm... well have a couple of vouchers but Sainsburys won't take them unless I buy the actual thing or smuggle them over whilst chatting to the teenager serving me who has no idea whether I have bought the item or not. ;)

    Do have some nectar points but trying to save until xmas....

    Will see how I do as the week progresses! Its stuff for lunches and fruit I am short on so hoping to make a couple of dinners whereby the leftovers can be brought in for lunches the following day.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    We gave up using shower gel because the palm olive bath gel/creme was always on offer in morrisons its much bigger than the shower gel and really is no different (just to add the honey milk one leaves my skin feeling really moisturised) we use ours with a pouffe thing and it really does make it last for ages. Also morrisons do a nice white bath creme (those cheapy huge 1lt ones for £59p) and it does for shower gel, hand wash and in the bath (ok i often keep the nice stuff for myself when i do treat myself and tip the cheap stuff in to nice bottles for the kids) shhhhh
  • newlywed: Yep I concur. Days like that are great aren't they? They really spur you on. Well done! :T
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

    Thanks lauren_1 - we don't have Morrisons, but am very careful what I buy as I am allergic to loads of stuff - including nivea.

    Used to get Sanex but now prefer Johnsons (24 hour moisture). Have been allergic to so many things that now I just don't risk any of the cheap body wash stuff or washing powders and conditioners :o

    Longer term it's money saving as I used to try lots of stuff and just waste it and then have to buy stuff to get my skin back to "normal" ;)

    Yeah between that, having an Aldi open near work, and reading the feed two for £60 a month challenge - I'm feeling quite inspired and looking forward to next payday. :D
