Thanks nanx4 for mentioning the yoghurt.

Afternoon peeps.

I've just seen a garden full of blue ones, according to its owner they are an early variety.

Maybe your yellow ones are an early variety too.

I have lilac and white ones and just one yellow that came out this morning.

Just worked out I have 133 in M&S 3 and 5s to get rid of by the end of April - we need a plan, never normally buy food in M&S and only other stuff in sale. Do the droids work on YS food? Does M&S have a food website so I could investigate prices in advance?

Lunch meal deal not too bad, £3.50 for sandwich, botlle of coke or other fizzy and packet of MS cwispies, 50p to pay, or 2 meal deals and they have double packs of biscwits for £1.50, so 3+5 = 50p to pay.

Also look out for reduced items too.

Butter £1.40 or £1.45 - same as the supermarkets
ice cream - quite a lot of at RTC prices so worth having a look eg Christmas pudding flavour
Drinks - have a look at the Christmas varieties as some of these are RTC - our store had an entire row of different versions, about £8 - these would make nice presents for later in the year

I am hoping that the £6 meal deal comes back - side, main and a dessert, even with the £3 AP they worked out good value. The choice wont be the same next time but this is what we got. Some meals I have to make stretch to three people and quite a few things were good choices.
I got for sides - potato croquettes and rosties as these freeze well and they area good side veg with roasts, sausages, stews, cooked breakfasts etc.
Mains - there was a full size chicken, ham and leek pie - enough for 3 of us with plenty of veg etc. Also breaded chicken, 4 really thick ones - really one [per person was enough, good to use sliced up for fajitas so easily enough for 3.
Desserts - full size apple and blackberry lattice pie, peach roulade - all plenty enough for 3 or 4 people. I also got the sticky toffee pudding and we had this with Carte Dor vanilla, again enough for 3.

I think you need to spend at least 3.49 at underpass to get the 500 points?

Mushrooms are food of the devil so only 4 Doctors for us assuming I can get some vouchers. Filler against S - I notice you can do two free Happy Downs of each flavour on clicksnap - don't really know what to do with my stash though - perhaps put them into the DKs (13, 12, 9) pack lunches?

happy downs - use them to make jellies - melt packet jelly with boiling water and then top up with Happy Down and add some Princes canned fruit that we also got free :rotfl:
