For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If my friend takes me shopping I always end up better off. She adds everything up in her head (don't know how she keeps track) and has a great eye for bargains. In some cases it is better to buy two small packets instead of the larger one they are offering as a cheap buy. I would not even notice, but she does.
While the Tesco "£5 off if you spend £40" voucher offer has been on, Hubby and I take a trolley each and fill one first adding up the items to £40 or just over then start on the second trolley. We laugh as we can get £10 off our weekly shopping (usually £80 worth) by paying in two transactions and it exercises our old brains to do the mental arithmetic. We must sound a batty old pair as we keep saying the total out loud before we add the next item, but we haven't slipped up yet in the grand total - you would be proud of us Chris!! :)
Last week we were charged for a stew pack that we didn't buy. The problem with Aldi is you have to go back to the shop to complain. Once you check your receipt at home it's too late. We didn't go back as I thought they would say something like "how do we know you didn't buy it' If every customer gets overcharged by 99p well they're quids in.
