Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread part 2½

Savvybuyer

I am buying in A, this month, the non-grocery items that I would have bought anyway when the APG was on. Actually I need to check another one of those items and, if it's best price in A, buy it there with an APG voucher while I can.

22C and 18c!!

Our thermostat is set to 17.5C from 6.30pm-9pm and 15C for the rest of the time. Apart from weekends then I think it's set for 17.5C from 5pm. We don't get home from work until 7pm though and then we're bustling around making dinner and sorting stuff out around the house, so there isn't really much time to sit around before bed time. Of course, cycling home in the winter keeps us nice and warm and coming into a house at 17C feels nice and toasty compared to outside!

Speaking of all the good whoopsies to be found in other supermarkets, i.e. M&S, my trouble is trying to work out the best time to actually go to the shop in order to find them!

as your light is still on. coffee and paper once per day. i agree with my mate locarr that mags are once PER TRANSACTION. unless corrected its been like this for years. i do admit ive not used mags more than once per day.but i know some that have. underline mags are AT LEAST DAILY i believe them to be per transaction.

Thanks everyone for all for your help, used 2 coupons today, now will wait to see if I get banned from there as attention was drawn to both of us because firstly the service assistant at self service checkout did not scan my coupon and I didn't notice because DH kept asking me questions at the opposite checkout whilst I was trying to keep a low profile so had to ask at customer service desk to refund me, and just as I walked away my DH came up to me and in a loud voice said I forgot to use my coupon. Oh bladdy hell, what a stupid idea that was to involve him. Anyway I told him to speak to customer service desk who said, that's funny a lady has just said more or less the same thing and refused a refund but after much discussion which I could see through the window she reluctantly gave him a gift card.
Oh what a fiasco!!
By the way got a paper and coffee no mags with each transaction.

Good morning shopmates :wave:

The crew are revolting (heckle from crowd: "You can say that again")

The crew are revolting against cut rations since the demise of the APG - they preferred the more expensive branded rum

Have you tried your home made cheese yet? If so, what was it like?

I did DM = a few weeks ago, and I was a bit disappointed. After all the time and effort into making it, expectations were high, but it tasted like a good supermarket cheddar
To be fair it was only 6 months old, so I've revealed it and put it away to mature further.

Have you tried making any yet? When I get time, I must try making something a bit more adventurous

Did you bake the bread too JTS?:)

Good morning TM :A

Sadly no I'm not up to your standard of fantastically prolific cooking/baking :A

I am making some bacon though - it's curing nicely in the fridge
