its ok, we have had the loo roll conversation once before, it always crops up somewhere, i use the asda's gold roast coffee and i love coffee, its as good as any named brand, i also find the home bargains if anyone has one near them, excellent for cleaning products ,loo rolls, named big jars of coffee and packets of sweets and biscuits used for the school lunches very cheap and also the B+m shop if you have one local to you, i know its a drag going round different shops but you do save quite a bit, i try and buy in bulk now and find it much cheaper the only thing is i will have to teach the kids to stop eating in bulk, no win situation ha ha.

Thats the thing you do have to shop around and know the best places to get what you need as you say, it can be a problem having to go to different places but if you buy a couple at a time then you dont need to go for a few weeks. I am lucky all of these are in one precinct near me and I go to sains and then get the other stuff from the precinct. I know a lot of people think sains is expensive but not if you buy your basic needs and I dont have a tesco or asda thaqt is less than a twenty minute drive. Asda dont even internet deliver cant believe it.

I find that Sainsbury can be cheaper than the others as they seem to do more special offers.

I have internet shopped with both sains and tesco, some of sains own brands are definately better and as you say sains seem to have more offers tesco have the bogof more but they arent the things you want.

As the quality's better I must admit I prefer Sainsburys, but in the days of credit I used to get Waitrose to deliver! The more I think about the more I acn see why I'm in debt!

Hi All,

I've had a look through the T+C's and I hope it's acceptable to post about my own site. I've read through this thread & feel my site will be of benefit to the people on this forum.

I own an online shopping site www.moneybackmadness.co.uk that has over 1000 retailers, including many leading High Street brands. We pay our members moneyback everytime they make a purchase at one of our retail partners.

We pay a £10 joining bonus and £10 for referring friends. There are lots of other ways to make money on the site, including loads of freebies, located in our "Free Stuff" section and paid searches with kelkoo and shopping.com

Come and pay us a visit and start saving today!

Cheers,
Steve

Hi All.
I get my monthly shop with a credit card which gives cash back. I make sure I repay the whole balance every month but as these are regular bills I get a nice little extra cash back as well.
