Had to replace my kitchen tube light with an LED last summer. Ended up buying from screw fix and bought 2 to keep one as a spare cost about £20 for both. The 1 I used has been in well over a year now no issues

A manager in Morrisons found a pallet of NZ lamb legs at the back of a fridge. All dated today.

So the butcher was frantically marking them 50% down, where they are already marked as "half price". So £7 per kg for a whole leg and 2 leg fillets.

I noticed they had whole chilled legs of lamb, marked as Useby 26th December. 17 days in a fridge? Is that possible?

Do you know the New Zealand stamp code? I've never brought it myself as I'm not fussed but my dad gets whole spring lamb with specific codes as they are halal, any experience with this knowledge?

Extended my NordVPN by 27 months for £79.60, I accidently chose the Plus plan but nevermind, not sure if this was a better deal than Black Friday but was reasonable and I added another discount code to it.

Just like with my IPTV the EVERUP app pays for it all with giftcard discounts so I'm happy that it's basically FREE.

I had initially planned to let it expire and take a Topcashback deal but I will be giving parents access to it when they use the IPTV I'm setting up for them at Christmas but I can't take a TCB deal with an existing account so this was the best option.

These VPN providers aren't the nicest. Auto renewal pricing is beyond belief compared to manually doing it. I extended during black Friday at £57.31 for 24 months.

NordVPN subscription extended using the black Friday offers in notification, email or account offers. Under £30 a year for the standard product... Bargain :D

US standard upgrades UK basic I think.

You'll have threat protection pro

Talk about two buses :LOL:

This wasn't paying out until i flagged it to Quidco customer service. They simply asked to confirm my email address and it got confirmed. Further communication requested a screenshot of the email confirming the gift card purchase. I don't know why because they have already paid out today :shrug:

It took longer than actually required because I didn't chase it :doh:

I love Lebkuchen and Stollen, so was happy to see that Lidl had knocked most of their Xmas stock of them down to 50p each.

Individual Panettone 50p, full size Panettone 50p. Guess which I bought. ;)
