    Talking of the best glitches, who still has things from them and is still using?
    I have Cleaning Products;, Wine; ,Kobra; Tomato Sauce, Heinz Pasta Meals; and I'm sure a few others.
    I still have S&G deodorant, Dove and OS shower gels, handwashes - too numerous to mention, porridge and many burgers!

    About 18 months ago I calculated that I had a years worth of laundry liquid - still ploughing through it!

    The wine has been and mainly gone except for the 6 bottles of 'Frexi' that I still have. I use these for presents as they look posh!

    There was nothing in my S today 20p wise, I even went in after work to check. Problem is with my local S is that they've stopped with the clearance shelf so you need to walk around the whole store looking for the magic SEL so I'm not having any 20p luck at the mo :(

    Choco moments reduced to £1.49 in waitrose from £1.99

    £1 cb on COs. Two types 3 x each

    These are the dearer ones yum yum

    We really liked those but I think they are so thick you only get 6 in a packet - so 49p after cashback for 6.
    Three each as its impossible to open and just eat one :D
    Very nice posh biscuits to go into a Christmas hamper or for impressing Christmas guests :T

    Also good if you are doing a Waitose shop to get your free newpaper, magazines and coffee :D

    Otherwise I am sure you can make home made cookies for under 50p - using real costings. In reality most of us have the majority of the ingredients in our store cupboards

    nothing in ours either. We have three stands on the end of ailses with Rtc and a section on the hair care ailse but only discounted never 20p items :(

    They had some reduced cat litter in the pet food ailse but that was about all

    On google pics it brings up photos you took from previous years and last week there was a picture taken last year of a pile of yellow labelled Sainsburys shopping - its such a rarity I take photograps on the few occassions we find anything :)
