    First Post First Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Queen of Cheap, thank you. I did not know that about Co-op wobbles though there isn't one very near me. Having said that, they have just sent me some conditional spends so may make a visit at some point.

    Funny how the habit of not buying expensive still kicks in even though I know that I will get at least £2.50/£5.00 (on double up) back on each £10 spent. Have just put another £10 petrol in and got 1000 points. Then did three shops (Mum wanted to buy me flowers which was very useful) and got 2000 and then 2x500 I think. I bought Mars fun size for £1.50 which I thought was a very good price -- I've a regular visitor who eats them. Then found the Giovanni Rana pasta in the fresh pasta aisle -- they are reduced to £1 but I had 2x 50p off coupons. Also cheap tins of chickpeas, 25p each, so have stocked up. I am trying to lose weight and often replace rice/pasta with beans so those were really good.

    Meant to try to put another £10 of petrol in but forgot and I'm too tired to go back at whoopsie time...

    Yeah, I could not find any either, still ordered though. Got a red, a sparkling, and a fizz. I do enjoy getting these.

    Ah well I can have fun when you open yours. :D

    But only one of each :eek: Keep buying until they are OOS so that me and LEJC are not tempted. :rotfl:

    1000 then 500 x3 today, not as good returns :(.

    8 x vouchers added on at CS though so obviously depends on the CS :).

    If there was a W near me that wasn't a Little W, I would have done the same. The butchers I'm getting it from have multiplied their business by about tenfold this year by using social media and offering delivery - I'm supporting local business :D
