£5 off with The Sun at Waitrose

This is not a partnership that you would expect but I suppose they have come out in support of David Cameron and the Tory's this week so to make themselves very middle class they have a £5 off Waitrose offer on this Saturday:

If you can bring yourself to buy the The Sun then you will save this weekend.

I LOVE ALDI

An Aldi opened up close to me about a year ago and I have to admit I was a bit (very actually) snobby about it. It had always been sold to me as the poor relation to Lidl but it was now my closest supermarket I was going to give it a go. I fell in love for so many reasons:

1. It is always quiet and with two toddlers in tow this is how I want it. They only have one person on the till but they do try their best if it is really busy to find someone else (not always though). I promise them waffles to get them around and then feed them as we are walking around.
2. There isn't a huge amount of choice. This could be seen as a negative but it truely isn't. It speeds the whole shopping experience up. There is less to be tempted by.
3. The Super Six. They always have a a selection of fruit and veg on offer for fab prices. You don't have to spend your time looking for them inbetween everything else because that is all they seem to have and most of it is what is in season.
4. Great cheese and ham selection (they are German so they are good at it).
5. Frozen fruit mixes from crumbles and smoothies.
6. The best frozen cakes around. My mum, who is a brilliant cook, told she has had a cake almost as good as Aldi the other day. My answer was why to bother to go to the effort if they cook it that well. They are packed with fruit and there are about 4 different favours to choose from of my favourite Speciality Range Cakes.
7. The Speciality Range is brilliant. It is not Tesco Value pricing as you would think but it is a lot cheaper than shopping the Finest/Taste the Difference/M&S ranges and the quality can be as good.
8. The nappies are brilliant. I saw unother Mum in there buying 3 packs and I thought I would give it a try and they are the best around so well worth a try for both the money saving and how well they work.

I could go on and I will over the next few posts. I have a meal to post that I made last night from my Aldi Super Six buys.

Voucher Codes : A must for Bargain Hunters

Voucher codes are a must whenever you are trying to get a bargain online. Even if the price is really great it is still worth having a quick search to see if there is even more money you can save. This morning in a toddler group I went too (it may be sad but I do love going to toddler groups because someone elses toys are always more exciting to children and there are 20 Mum's to help to tidy up afterwards) I was given a whole book of voucher codes. I have put a few in the next few posts to get you started...
