    Hi sallyrsm,

    There is a discussion about this offer on the Grabbit board:

    50p bread, eggs and butter in Asda for 1 week

    I'll move your thread over later so that it can be added to that thread and leave a redirect that will point Old Stylers towards it.

    Thanks sallyrsm. I wouldn't have spotted this on the quick grabbit forum - I try to avoid that one as I always seem to end up ordering stuff I don't really need!

    After reading that thread though, I am going to buy the Daily Mail today; I have no qualms about using money-off coupons against my groceries, and £4.30 will make a huge difference even after you deduct the cost of the paper.

    Hi Jailhousebabe,

    I know what you mean about the Grabbit board and buying things we don't need but I nip over there most days to take a peek in case I miss something. I just have to try to be very disciplined and remember that I'm here to save money not spend it. :o

    If you want to avoid Grabbit but keep an eye on newspaper offers there's a good thread every day on the discount vouchers board that lists the vouchers and offers in the newspapers. In todays thread: NEWSPAPER SUMMARY - Friday 27th June there's a voucher for a free water filter jug from Robert Dyas.

    Went in today around 10am. Nearly everything had gone but managed to bag a couple of grapes, bananas, mince, bread.

    I spotted also bags of SP peppers (assorted colours). 5 per bag, 20p per bag.:j Don't know if it's nationwide but worth checking

    Hi MagentaSue,

    I get that the offers are for all; I bought the paper for the 2 money-off coupons inside it. I paid 50p for the paper, then got £4.30 off my grocery bill - a total saving of £3.80.
