    I reckon I've saved at least £30 this year on cereals.

    Red Peppers: 99p each.

    I’m in the wrong business.
    They ain't that price up here at Waitrose.

    Maybe I could run some kind of grey market.

    Earlier this week Tescos were selling corn on the cob for £1.49 for 2, or 2 packs for £3 (special offer!!). The packs of 4 were £2.99. Or you could buy the packs of 4 half cobs for £1 each!

    Eat enough beans and you'll be nourished AND be able to cut down on your gas bills.

    A Sainbury's near me is selling 5 bar packs of Snickers for £1, while the Pound shop charges £1 for a pack of three. Snickers are packed with calories and would last a long time. Not all branches stock them though, as with the 65p 1kg bags of 'basics' muesli, which seem to disappear shortly after they are put on the shelves, so I buy a few bags when they do appear. They aren't as nice as Alpen, but a day's worth of calories and roughage, etc, for 65p and no cooking required can't be bad! These would would also keep for ages if the packet were not opened.

    One day soon sterling won't be worth a hill of beans.

    There was that instance in some supermarket a few years back where you got a refund if you took bananas to the checkout, some people walked out with a trolley full and some cash in their hands!!!
