Those MnS meal deals used to be great value when they included a bottle of wine. I’m sure last time I looked they’d dropped the wine, is this so?I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Alas @Sun_Addict no wine on the m&s deal, coop has a members price meal deal for £10 including a bottle of wine on at the moment but it runs out I think 9th or 10th so if you can get to one deffo stock up if they have items you like4

Just caught up on your diary. Fantastic win - I know it promptly got used up - but it was there and you needed it to great win
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!3 -
I grabbed that £10 co-op deal today - thanks for mentioning it PIP. Wasn't even a co-op member until this morning as the Co-op isn't in the best place for us being at the opposite end of the High Street to Tesco's but will definitely be checking the app to see what's available in future!2

That co-op deal is excellent isn't it - might swerve in somewhere and see if I can grab that tonight, as it occurs to me if I can get the individual pizzas as the mains, I can pop them in the freezer for use another time (or maybe even an easy win for Christmas day tea!) Those and the wine alone make it a decent deal, the side will be a nice bonus! Thanks for the heads-up.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
