Don't worry bubbs...I was very happy with what I got online:)

Think these are the OGX for £2 in T but can't see an A match:o

£6.99 each in A and have been on 342 - not sure if they still are?

same here, only the green Happy Down and still £2 - its not a bad price really but it would be far better at the reduced price.

Our store also now has the magazines so I can now pay attention to toothpaste discussions but unless it works out at 75p each, the price if Boots smile, I wont be tempted.

I did find a huge cage of branded RTC tights, toiketries and hair care mostly for under £1. In the olden days I would have gone crackers and filled a trolley. Today though I got a large elnett hairspray and a tresemme mouse today for 46p so happy enough with that.

(if any of the Stoke and Staffs mob want to know which store it is PM me - worth a quick trip along the D road )

Well it was glorious sunshine when I left the house. I'm back now and the skies are black:o

Called at Boots but they had removed all of the 17 stuff off the shelves:o

I got some mags though as I'll be passing another Boots tomorrow:)

Called in at T to look if the happy downs had been reduced, but still £2 in mine.

Not a wasted visit as I got some mags and there is still afull aisle of chocolate eggs that I need to keep an eye on.

Couldn't resist this....... 810g of chocolate for £1.75



Surely they should be reducing them further soon. There was Toffee crisp eggs with the mug for £1 and Lion bar egg for £1.25. Still too dear for me:D

1x Rum Chata Liqueur with Rum (50cl) £8.00 £15.00

This was on RTC for £8 in mine too.
It's a lovely alcoholic drink. Similar in consistency to Baileys with a Cinnamon taste.
I was using APG's to buy a bottle (incidentally best before 1 Nov 2018), this was the only thing I was buying. The cashier decided I couldn't buy just 1 item using an APG. She paused before saying the minimum was 7.
I said I'd leave it then as she had clearly just made that rule up as their was no mention of it on the T&C's. She said it was just their store. I asked why aren't their signs up about it. No reply.
What I didn't tell her was I knew it was a lie cause I'd just bought a case of coke at another till 20 mins earlier. Maybe she meant to say you can't buy just a bottle of alcohol, but that would also be untrue, cause 20 mins later I went to another till and bought the Rum Chata without a problem

wish I lived closer, I am sure my dead dyson could be brought back to life. I also have a Breville smothie maker which I am sure is repairable in the hands of the right fixer-upper.

Cat food coupons on packs - on round sticky labels - I saw these in Waitose today but its just a case of checking all stores that you are passing.

Iams delights sachets - the orange box - best price is £3.50 in Asda. The MOC is for £2 for Iams dried food. Best price for these is in Sainsbobs for £3.50 - some bags are 700g and some 800g. (sometimes you might find Iams dry food with another £2 coupon right at the very back of shelves so its worth searching fir them)

Iams naturally boxes - cream and green boxes - we call them land and sea Best price is £4 in Asda or £4.11 in Waitose. These have a £2 MOC for the 700g bags of Iams naturally - best price is £3.36 in Waitrose

I dont know the expiry dates but the last set of MOCs had good dates on them. The prices and offers go up and down all the time on these so it might be worth getting the sachet boxes at the best price and then waiting for the dry food to go on offer in your store. I've sen Iams on offer 2 bags for £6 a few months back so it might be worth holding onto MOCs until the right offer starts.

Also the stickers are very sticky so Ive been putting them onto plastic bags so they dont gunge yoyr bag up.

So apart from cat food research in Waitose I just did 2 small shops for Oh and myself.
I got 2 tins of princes fruit in juice to use up 2 free can print off MOCs. I also wombled a till spit for £1 off Tims Greek yogurt yesterday so that made it 95p.
Also I got Yeo live, two packs of 4 for COS - no SELs in our store so I went to CS to check that it was 2 for £3 - £1 cashback on each pack so after cashback £1 for 8, quite acceptable.

Yoshomi snacks are on TMF but no multipacks in W so I am going to put them on the Sainsburys list next week

Does anyone know which is the quickest company to use to send parcels internationally? TIA

It really is a large letter, and needs to be there for Friday.

MHOC - I feel you sons pain at going through process of trying to get a souse into the UK... I am only 2 weeks into looking into this and have gone grey!
