    Cheesey people here too! Rarely eaten with date and yes, at times, a fair bit of 'trimming' goes on. Our stack is sadly depleted as DH aka Grumpy Knickers, has taken to providing 'snacks' when he and his friends go to the micro pub in the next village, he has used up the real french pre Christmas Roquefort that wasn't even runny yet and the post Christmas Stilton.

    I will rephrase 'he and his friends go' in reality I take them and pick them up 2 hours later, they are all deaf and only Grumps wears his hearing aids, the conversations are unreal at times!! MY BF calls it my second voluntary job, 'P P P Pick up a Pensioner'! :rotfl::rotfl:

    This is weird.

    On the Google Calender I have got a mystery even on Saturday 12th of May, - its been bugging me for days now :rotfl: - its a repeat event but only ever 26 weeks on a Saturday but this is the first - ie twice a year.
    All it says is
    PPP
    Have I got to collect a pensioner from somewhere and I've forgotten who and where.
    I would put a picture up but the reminder has my name and emails etc but I swear that's what it says PPP :rotfl:

    Will they eat the Castello Brie that is on Q clicksnappy - its £1 cashback and £1.50 in A ... it might keep them away from the cheese that need to be matured a while longer :)
    They would, but BF & I rather like that with some of the glitchy wine, my homemade chutney and Jacobs toasts from our local bargain shop!... I buy it every time:beer::beer: there's cashback

    Hello everyone. No time to catch up but thought I'd post the yoghurt results from this morning in case it helps anyone. AvS

    1x Muller Light Fat Free Vanilla Yogurt (175g) £0.68 £0.35
    4x Muller Corner Red Cherry Yogurt (150g) £2.72 £2.00
    2x Muller Light Fat Free Orange with Dark Chocolate Yogurt (165g) £1.36 £0.70
    1x Muller Light Fat Free Vanilla & Dark Chocolate Yogurt (165g) £0.68 £0.35
    0.1x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Parsnips (order by number of parsnips or select kg) (per kg) £0.11 £0.13
    1x Muller Light Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt (175g) £0.68 £0.35
    0.08x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Onion (order by number of onions or select kg) (per kg) £0.06 £0.06
    0.16x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Carrot (order by number of carrots or select kg) (per kg) £0.08 £0.09
    0.17x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Banana (order by number of bananas or select kg) (per kg) £0.13 N/A
    1x ASDA 50% Less Fat Creamy Coleslaw (600g) £1.00 N/A
    Comparison total (compared products only) £6.37 £4.03

    Almost missed out on the 8 items as the loose banana and the coleslaw didn't count as the comparison so it only compared 8 different items. It's the first time I've needed the two extra items I always add to a shop. I bought the bakewell yoghurt as the trigger and didn't count that as I knew it wouldn't show on the APG.

    APG was for £2.75 so the yoghurts cost me 25p! Wasn't sure about some of the flavours to shifted to corners.
    Of course they counted towards your ten items.

    Happy Birthday Emerald :bdaycake: Have a lovely day. xx

    I've been getting all my freebies for my birthday month coming through too. :D

    PE free bottle of Prosecco :T Hope it will work with O2 £5 codes. And got another offer from them for free dough balls today. I may get a hattrick if they all work together. :cool:

    Bit disappointed with my sparks one this year, last couple it's been a fiver to spend on anything. This year it's 10% off food and 20% off clothing, beauty and homeware. I have been sent the vouchers and loaded them to my card so not sure if I will get 2 goes. Maybe if I use them in certain order I might?

    It does work with the 02 codes :D
