  • Enjoying all the coupons at T at the moment, I'm eating for pennies!

    Breakfast - tin of Princes fruit - FREE
    Lunch - bowl of New Covent Garden soup - 17p
    Dinner - Ristorante pizza - FREE

    I have dozens of tuna fillers in reserve for when the NCG soup runs out.

    And as I'm picking up Dr Oetker baking cases at 60p, I have 40p overage with the £1 coupon, leaving me with 23p after the NCG soup. One day I pick up a 50p pack of rolls to have with the soup, the next I pick up a couple of litres of fruit juice. Averages 88p a day :T

    Very impressed.

    On shopimum there is this cereal - cashback so it works out at £1 a box - so that's 5 days breakfasts at 20p each day. It would go nicely with the canned fruit.

    I can never get more than one coupon of anything to print and then Avast thinks everything is a security risk :mad:

    Assassins creed origins 39.99 at Sains, 35 cash at CEX. Use a 20 doubled to 40 'entertainment' voucher. Get multiple vouchers in the same category by going different days / asking different cs person :) hth



    I begin to wonder if stores are being flexible with the rules,our store will let you have as many vouchers as you want in each department,just have to be used one per transaction.

    it also occurred to me today that not everyone in our household has a Maaarks Spaaarks card so I registered a spare one I collected - you just need a new email address.

    They also ask for your birthday which might be soon.

    Then you get offered a choice of offers and like an idiot I just clicked one - there was about 4 choices and I think one was a food discount and one was BOGOF hot drink.

    I clicked on a cream tea for 2 for £6 valid for 12 days (so its all in the timing) - I think this is just a scone and tea so not really very good value but I am thinking of the AP £5 Maaarks vouchers - I am wondering if they would work - how do they actually put them through the till ????

    If so then it would be just £1 and then it is good value :)

    I wonder if the offers change depending on how young and trendy you are

  • Popped into our local Wilko today and they were selling off curtains. I picked up a couple of pairs of small ones for £1 a piece (don't need them but good value for the fabric alone), they had all sorts of sizes in the clearance, I think the biggest size were about £5!

    Not comparing against M:
    1x ASDA Wafer Thin Cooked Chicken (420g) £1.22 N/A

    But fortunate on this shop as they got one at reduced price. Avoid vs S if you are going to be buying cheaper than £1.89.

    2x ASDA Smart Price Processed Peas (300g) £0.50 £0.46
    Probably comparing against Garden Peas in M in error. Whilst Garden Peas should be 21p vs 23p M and should be vs T at 21p, Processed Peas are more expensive and are comparing against M cheaper - no need to buy two.

    4x ASDA Butcher's Selection Medium Whole Chicken (1.35kg) £7.64 £13.32:eek:

    These on A's 5 for £1 are all N/A across the board:
    1x ASDA Cola Flavour Bottles (50g) £0.20 N/A
    1x ASDA Rainbow Laces (45g) £0.20 N/A
    2x ASDA Chosen By You White Chocolate Buttons (30g) £0.40 N/A
    2x ASDA Chosen By You Strawberry Cables (50g) £0.40 N/A
    2x ASDA Chosen By You Mini Marti Mushrooms (50g) £0.40 N/A
    1x ASDA Teddy Fruit Gums (45g) £0.20 N/A
    1x ASDA Fizzy Cherry Cola Flavour Bottles (45g) £0.20 N/A

    Vs M
    1x ASDA Smart Price Instant Hot Chocolate (400g) £0.75 £0.68
