Halloween and associated stuff down to 25% of original price this morning in Tesco. Good time to look for next year's kids outfits

Some of the sweets and chocs half price, but not much left where I was. I did get a box of Harribo for £2, originally £4.

Probably worth checking the Halloween cakes too, unfortunately I couldn't find any.

All our savings go into pension which is very tax efficient (ie most money for least work) but it does mean that 'available cash' (which is actually the result of an offset mortgage rather than real money) is at best flat and tends to drift down (inversely correlated with how much hoarder DW has added to the 'stuff without a home' category in the house) which is pretty miserable - if they suddenly remove the tax free lump sum when you start drawing your pension then we will be in trouble

I think this will go soon as the government could get a massive windfall so I am urging peeps to take it asap.
Of course , if that is not your plan then don't change but I have already taken one and once matured enough will take the 25% on the other.

Think there is something you are missing if you use it in cooking Savvy. I dont use/buy much ketchup but do use it in cooking, and it just has to be Heinz Always put a good dollop in Spag Bol, Chilli, Shepherd's Pie, Beef Goulash & Dumplings, some soups, etc.

Don't forget the Iceland 7 day deal is the small Heinz ketchup for 50p, ideals for fussy peeps (oh) who don't like the idea of large bottles languishing in the fridge for months - exp is Dec 19 in my store.

Halloween stuff seemed to have dropped to half price in W last night too - they don't hang about as they need to increase their Christmas space .

Bit luckier here, we can have 12 visits.
