It warms my cockles that receipts still say 'please' on them. Manners cost nothing! 😁https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

That's rookie shopping @South_coast - they bought a bag and everything - suspect not a Lidl regular

Ooh, my image has been removed - wonder why 🤔?
(For posterity/my own future amusement, the items purchased were two bottles of red wine, apple juice and a carrier bag)
I'd tend to agree with you about the rookie shopping, Ed, if it wasn't for the fact that BF sometimes buys carriers to use as bin bags. I have tried to convince him that you can buy a roll of bags for less than 30p/unit, but he still prefers his method 🤦♀️🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I’m guessing because it has unredacted (by you) card details on it - they were redacted by the machine though, so not sure what the point of removing it would be. 🤷🏼♀️Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

I thought south_coast had Tippex'ed the card details?

It would be useful if the forum team gave a reason for the image removal or PM the person who posted the image with the reason - just removing it means none of us learn what we need to do to post acceptable images.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Hmmmm, I removed the store name (so you can't all track me down in real life 🤣!), but the card details were still on there - only the last 4 digits though!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
