Morrisons vegetables for 28 p
Yep, you read it right, a penny cheaper than Asda! So Morrisons have got a promo on at the mo, where some vegetables are super cheap. I bought carrots, brocollis, potatoes for 28 p each, and there were other veggies there too.
It really is heating up in the supermarket wars! And the pack sizes are not stingy either at Morrisons. The carrots are 1kg for 28 p, would have been 68 p normally. Brocolli which tends to be around 49 p for the cheapest and 500 g swede which would be around 50 – 75 p normally.
Oh and if you can’t get to Morrisons store, go and shop on line as most of the same discounts apply, though I couldn’t find the potatoes.…

Major sales all in one place
Just put in your size and type of clothing and Lovethesales.com aggregates sale items so that you can compare and contrast easily in in one place. And that news definitely puts me in a happy place.
The launch of lovethesales.com means we have a “one stop shop” for sales items across 5,000 brands (that’s loads), meaning there’s no need to go from search online from shop, to shop, to shop, to shop to find that next great bargain. In fact, unknown to most of us, at any point in time, whether seasonal sale period or not, between 10% -15% if all retail products carry a reduced price tag. Brands just chose not to advertise it – busting the myth that it’s all over after January.
By shopping from lovethesales.com, where everything is on sale, means …

Get discount London theatre tickets
With half term fast approaching, if you are looking for something to do with the family, the theatre is definitely an option. As a family, we love theatre, and over the last year, we’ve learnt about how we can save loads by watching the theatre and opera at the cinema…it’s great and so much less expensive than heading to London or another big city. However, this is often only 2 – 4 times a year and for very big productions.
If you are heading to London, maybe you’ve checked out my post on cheap views of London, and you want to take your chances and head to the West End for a show. The first place to go is Leicester Square’s ticket booth, aka tkts. Located since 1980 in the Clocktower Building, it’s run …

Is George Osbourne crazy – tax on periods still here
Tampon tax is in the spotlight with Chancellor George Osborne promising to give the VAT the Treasury receives to good causes and to lobby the EU to zero rate all sanitary protection.
Currently VAT is charged at 5% on sanitary items, the lowest rate allowable under EU law. Although, 300,000 people signed a petition against the tax, the Chancellor can’t do anything to change this cos of the EU.
While women’s charities benefit, I still question why are women having to still pay the so called ‘luxury tax’ on an essential item?
In steps Superdrug! From 10th February all purchases of Superdrug’s Own Brand tampons and sanitary towels in the UK will see the customer rewarded with between three and ten loyalty card points added to their Health & Beauty Card account. Each of these …

Don’t fill up just yet – petrol prices about to drop?
I have a friend who’s just been made redundant from her oil sector job, she says that the oil companies are in troupble as oil heads for a price crash and petrol prices are predicted to fall by more than 13p to 86p a litre.
Big banks such as Standard Chartered, RBS, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs say that a worldwide glut of oil (there’s a global oil lake apparently) would send costs to an 18-year low, and keep prices down. That is just fantastic news after the high prices of the last few years. The RAC reckons that drivers would be enjoying the cheapest fuel since 2009 with savings of around £180 a year for a family hatchback.
There could be a price war as at supermarket forecourts, we are already paying 99.9p for …
