    Good evening Elite.

    Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.

    Picked up a few bargains in Mr T today - had almost forgotten the joy of finding RTC at less than SEL prices. In the bigger stores - 5pk light up balloons (marbled pink colour and Frozen) 87p + 5 for 4. Some of the 4pk party bag fillers are 37p and 5 for 4. (Ideal for school lucky dip). In the stationery aisle there are some shiny pencil case type things with sets of butterfly erasers, pencils and sharpeners or pretty ribboned/bicycle shaped paperclips - all down to 35p. Good stocking fillers.

    In my Express (possibly in larger stores too but didn't check) own brand salsa 40p a jar, salted tortilla chips 25p, meat flavour 6pk ridge cut crisps 45p, ready salted 6pk 43p and some Finest crisps 50p - all marked RTC but dated into next year.

    Also The Works have cards (mainly aimed toward the children's birthday market) 59p each of 20 for £1.

    Thanks. Probably too late to cancel the dd before the Monday one is taken tho.

    I wouldn't risk them cancelling the credit for the sake of £3.71
