    :eek: Hi Guys,

    not sure if anyone else has days when they tend to feel a little panicky.

    Certainly do. What works for me is to take a deep breath and keep telling myself I can do this.

    Then need to get down to the nitty-gritty and start serious menu planning, lists, etc. :huh:

    You can do it Dink1!!!

    I find this post quite unsavoury, bragging about scamming with vouchers, you are in fact stealing and could well be getting the sales assistant in trouble. im all in favour of money saving and using vouchers, but by using them ligitimatley and without getting others in trouble.


    I also find that you were indeed stealing..makes me mad actually. Its just greedy and taking the mick to be honest.

    In the defence of those who re use coupons/vouchers etc.....
    I shop online and use codes from the discount threads on here, they seem to be designed to work more than once and for different people so i don't see why you can't use the instore vouchers the same...
    I'm sure if the store didn't want this to happen they would have better systems that only allow them to work once

    Thats my opinion anyway :D

    Anitaj73 there is a clear difference though as the codes and vouchers for use online are designed to be used by more than one person; the vouchers for use instore are only meant to be used once for each customer.

    Kaz2904 shouldn't have been able to keep the voucher after using it and she clearly states she was scamming them which is out of order IMO

    mornin all and welcome to the july challenge :D

    i've just got back from a whoopsie hunt at Mr M's ..........managed to get some persil liquitabs, and some Bold 2 in 1 tablets (only get these when they're reduced to silly prices, and you don't get much sillier than down to 10p each from £5-odd :T and all because the boxes were a bit dented!! ) also got some tins of dog food, tinned toms, choccy bics, aero snacksize, and toothpaste....all down to 10p each :dance: also got some of the Robinsons juice that's BOGOF at the mo. i've accounted for this in my June challenge, as i don't officially start the july one till tomorrow

    my spare wardrobe is full of yellow-stickered stuff now ............have got enough flour, pasta, washing powder/tablets, dog food to last about 3 months i think!!

    the BM has just finished its cycle, its making a pizza dough for us to have for tea tonight. also gonna make some more tortilla dough, and stick it in the freezer for tomorrow, cos Mrs Mc said it rolls out better when its been frozen

    hope you're ok Mrs Mc i know we won't hear from you for a while, but we're all thinking of you xx

    right, best get on. hope everyone has a good day xx

    Hi Angelnikki
    I hope I'm not to late for July - I want to go for 200.00 again please.

    Have trouble keeping up with all the posts but will try harder this month. What do other veggie peeps do for cheap protein? I use beans and lentils but am getting bored of my recepies so any new ones would be most welcome. Quorn is getting very expensive and soya is not my fav ingredient although the spag bol and cottage pie I made Fri/Sat was OK. I have stockpiled bags of beans so need to use these.
    Good luck everyone.
