You can also get 2pks of non branded toothbrush heads in Tesco for £1 - in their “keep it handy” section (in my shop it’s near the lightbulbs etc).Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018

Don't recall seeing a "keep it handy" section in my local Tesco but will look out for one in case I've missed it!

Good use of your club card vouchers - im sure your daughter will enjoy herself. I love finding things to use vouchers/points for that are fun or feel like good value. We used ours last year to pay for one of our ferry crossings to the Isle of Wight which was a great saving.
I had an email to say that if I don't use my boots points by end of June I'll lose them so I'll find out how much I've got and get them spent soon.

Definitely not seen anything like that in our store. Maybe it's only the very big stores. Ours isn't a Local but it's not one of the very big stores either although we have one of those near our "local" hospital about 40 minute drive away (on a good day!).

We don’t have a section like that either @Bluegreen143 but I’m okay for a little while now!The ferry crossing is a great idea for using vouchers, I used to use them for pizza express as a treat meal out for hub and I so we didn’t need to pay so much. It always cost us something though as they were the only restaurant I knew of that served Peroni Gran Riserva! 😋Follow here for the daily life of an ADHD mum with 2 children and a new mortgage to pay

@MissRikkiC - I posted on another thread (can't remember which one) that you can get a plate to put on the induction hob so that you can use a non magnetic pan.
induction converter plate
Range of options from £12.50 - definitely worth a try.

Oh no! Maybe at some point you can pick up an electric pressure cooker - I have an instant pot and love it (you can use it as a slow cooker too)Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018
