Bargain boast.

Looking for dog poo bags in ASDA found them at £1 for 40 bags. Disposable nappy bags are .35p for 300 bags, bargain!
Brings me to the perpetual joke in our house when taking the dog for a walk:
ME "just taking the dog out"
Mrs T "have you got sh*tbags?"
Me "yes, she's here on the end of the lead"

Liked this twice. Once for the fact that you take home the poop. Second time for the crappy joke!

Looks like you 'unliked' me second time round.

Second perpetual dog joke at work:

Sandy (office dog) "Woof Woof Woof"
Anyone "that'll be the postman"
All "no it's definitely Sandy"

Just found some flavour pearls in Sainsburys, down from £4.99 to 30p. When I scanned them it turned out they were also BOGOF, so can't complain. They had soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and vinegar and shallot ones. Reduced bit at the back of the store, near the coffee.

Looks like a visit to Sainsbugs on way home tonight.

Not that I do salad as such, but I can imagine they'd be quite tasty. BBE date was 2 weeks on some and october on others, if you're into that sort of thing.

Only had soy sauce or shallot left so didn't bother.

Dropped into asda for a pizza, found four packs of pork loin steaks for 18p a pack (2 steaks). Result!

Picked up some wallpaper samples from B&Q yesterday (FREE)

A lovely floral number to line the draws of my (FREE) wooden dresser table

And some jazzy pieces to use as wrapping paper - always have nice designs and good thick quality (FREEEE!!!)

 

[littleme]

Lots and lots of sauces and pastes - Curry/Thai/Chilli/Italian/ Coq au Van (aka love in a lorry) all reduced down in Sainsbury from 28p - 50pish, and wrap kits about 85p....can't see why as they're long dated.

I know I must seem obsessed, but Aubergines are on offer again in Lidl, at a bargain 39p each!

Saw the stuff at Sainsbo's yesterday, some good stuff there!

We got some Goan hot and sour, red Thai sauce, and a couple of others....some seriously lazy cooking for me in the next few weeks!

Fishy wishy wishy can't you see, you belong in my tummy...

I don't know if its a mistake, but Tesco have boxes of Birdseye Haddock fillets with Lemon & Parsley in the frozen isle for £1.00 per box. (Usually £4.00 per box!)

There are two fillets per box, you cook them in their wrapper in the oven or microwave and they are jolly tasty.

I've been v greedy & bought 7 boxes today, but there were a good 10 boxes left

Ooops! Its very strange, they're not on offer, so I think they've just got the price wrong, they are £4.00 a box in both Sainsburys and Iceland...

We were in a hotel down Reading Friday & Saturday nights. We had two rooms Friday & one room Saturday. Had no cold water in any of the rooms so they offered us a full refund. When they did the chargeback on the card we found they'd given us £10.00 too much. Bargain.

I've been buying things via Topcashback = Free money

I've traded some Topcashback money to Tesco clubcard points.

I've doubled up £30 of clubcard points to £60 clothing vouchers.

I've just bought my daughter's swimming bag and swimming costume, P.E shirts, joggers and shorts, school bag, pumps, trainers, school shoes, x6 shirts,x2 trousers, x2 skirts, socks and tights all for a grand total of ...............

.................. £2.62 in actual cash!



I still need to purchase the school tie, cardigan and sweatshirt and for some ridiculous reason the sole supplier of these items is almost 20 miles away and in an entirely different county.

Bought a large 25kg bag of Wilja potatoes for £5.95 from the Bednall farm shop on the A34. Must have been a much better growing season as that price is at least £3 cheaper than last year and the spuds are much bigger.

 

[littleme]

The fish are back at Tesco....

Birdseye Baked to Perfection Haddock Fillets with Lemon & Chives....£4.00 a box everywhere else...

£1.00 a box, two in a box....fling it in the oven...nom nom nom...

Wilko BBQ/camping/picnic stuff now all reduced, I got lots but the best was a build your own BBQ kit (without bricks) for a quid!

I then went to Sainsburys, and got a Landmann Tripod BBQ for £8.70
