        I have had it on this morning for a couple of hours - feeling more relaxed about the bill as it's been a mild winter so it hasn't been used as much as usual over the past few months.

          Shame about having to pay 40p for car parking, but there was also free wifi.

                  + There's Lidl £5 off £40 in Tomorrow's Sun (+Sat+Sun), we one got one from the leaflet that came in Saturday's Telegraph, 2 x £5 off £40 & 1 x £3 0ff £23 at Morrisons vouchers came in the post yesterday together with a £5 off £30 at Lakeland, and today got a £3 off £20 voucher for Tescos, but the house is crammed full of stuff and the freezers are all full to bursting point.

                  EDIT: Forget to mention the 2 Pets at Home £5 off £30 vouchers that arrived this morning. Mrs Scrungee is a VIP member of Pets at Home (very important pet).

                  I might have to stop saving money for a while.

                    How do you get the Morrisons ones? @Scrungee I have signed up at their website but no vouchers yet.

                      They've been delivered by the postie to everybody in the street (village?). I wonder if they use the information they gather when there's been other promotions (£5 off £30 in The Sun) when you had to put your postcode on the voucher, to target these.

                      They're running another (Easter) Bonus promotion, where you need to spend at least £40 for the next 2 weeks (and you can use one of those £5 off vouchers each week) and you then get £1o off a third £40 shop (no 10p off fuel this time, but only 2 (not 3) shops 31st March to 14th April to get the vouchers. That's £20 off £120 (17%) off your shopping.

                        My postie delivers them too, must be area dependent.

                            I can only recall their last names like Pet City and Pet's Mart. Occasionally their chicken feed worked out cheaper than the local farm shop/smallholder supplier's with one of their vouchers, but not in long time now.

                                Went to Aldi with my carefully calculated list, and had to do a re-calculate when I spotted they had reduced the garden tools to 3-99, and a pair of long handled edging shears fell into my trolley. :roflol:
