    Wow Elaine.....that's some haul. I went to the seaside one which used to be so good for whoopsies. I hung around for a while and left with 4 packs of Angus beef and a pot of yoghurt. The yoghurt went through at full price so I got a £2 giftcard meaning I got it all free:D

    Picked up £10 in wombles but just good comparisons. Nothing stands out:o

    Has no one bought beer today?:o


    Wombles may be good tomorrow am if everyone gets the beer for the England match.

    Ionly got 1 womble today but it was for nearly £5 and also had £1.75 cash back so happy with that. On Monday night it was really windy. I got £42 just walking over H carpark & best one was over £16.

    There was very little on the normal woopsies tonight but masses on the fruit and veg. There was 8 of us there and we shared it all out. I ended up with 8 big tomatoes and 7 cherry ones. Very happy with them as will last all week.

    If I succeed, I may allow people to reject advertising cookies and not receive ads and save them money.

    (I realise that this is completely counter to the interests of these companies that wish to serve us with advertising to survive - yet again my interests are at cross-purposes to theirs. It seems we can only save money on things that don't make profits for the people providing them. Companies need items to sell at full price whereas we refuse to obtain for full price. It should be no surprise that almost all the items I've found in various retailers recently that actually are very good value for money and I've been buying seem to have been promptly discontinued or disappeared entirely from the stores within weeks and then usually the firms have announced increased profits. There were about five or six different items that I was buying, each from different retailers, up till recently because they were actually very good value for money and every one of them seems to have promptly disappeared and be no longer available:(. They were obviously so good for us that they didn't make the retailers any money at all and therefore they clearly didn't want them hanging around and continuing to be available.)

    May depend what beer they get. Mine, they will just get that and not get enough items:(. I went for a trip last night because I thought something might increase in price today if I did not. A very bad time for any wombles - because of the dry weather, it seems many people not shopping at all and preferring to be out doing other activities instead (and who can blame them?). I suspect today would not be as good as a normal Saturday, as last week (or one recent week where it was also good weather) there didn't seem much in the way of wombles either or maybe I picked the wrong time again (despite visiting in the mid-afternoon). Sunday was better. People may not be going shopping yet I thought, but eventually they will be forced out - eventually they will have to do so!:T:j

    There was zippo last night. And it is probably too late in the day to try right now. I had nothing at all at one store and then the other place on the way back, I found only a few, nearly all that I did find were scraping the barrel of looking in hedges and trying to find any that had been there for a few weeks (hopefully not too many weeks) - there were none of those and the few I found most of them had one or two items and none of them had enough. Worst I have ever done:(. I am not going at the right time! There were obviously some people shopping - a few cars in the car park but certainly not a great many (but not nearly completely empty). However, most people were not doing so, unlike some Friday nights and I think they are definitely putting it off and deciding to do other things with the good weather - tomorrow, however, if they have to go to work on Monday, having put it off for two days, they will now be forced to do so.
