Worlds_Worst_Superhero said:NSD number 14 for me today.
It would have been 15, but I had a voucher for Boots I had to use before the end of the month.
There was nothing I really wanted or needed, but spotted a huge selection of items in the Clearance section.
There was a huge range of brand-name toothpaste reduced from £3 to 38p, shampoos for 19p, deodorant for 25p.
I bought a trolleyfull of items. Used my coupon paid just under £4 for about 20 big tubes of toothpaste, 20 cans of deodorants and loads of shampoo and body washes.
I estimate the original bill would have been about £250.
Popped it all in the collection box for the local women's refuge and homeless shelter 😊3 -
