- Go here to sign up for the Pillsbury newsletter and receive $10 worth of coupons
- Free samples of Kashi cereal or grain bar [let it be said that I am exceptionally jealous, I fell in love with Kashi apple cinnamon oatmeal when I was in NYC but you simply can not get it in the UK. I miss Kashi!]

- A huge amazing BA seat sale - seriously NYC for £299!!!!!!!
- The Co-op had an amazing deal of 12 toilet roll for £2.50 (regular £5.50+), not sure if it is still on but stock up if you can, similarly Poundland has a great deal of 6 toilet roll for £1, so actually 12 for £2 (when you think of what some of the other shops charge, this is a real bargain!)
- The Co-op currently has a good deal on HP Sauce (450 g) & Ketchup (700 g) little luxuries which are not always in my grocery budget, but when they are less than 50% of their normal cost, I might just make room
- Poundland has large Colgate toothpaste on sale for £0.69 (this toothpaste I’ve seen in grocery shops for £1.50+) I couldn’t find it on their website, but I found it in the store (and bought 4!)
- A free guide/site which tells you what food is currently in season
- Edited To Add: Homebase has an amazing deal on low energy lightbulbs 0.10 pence!!!! Plus they have small Ecover for 0.89p (I normally struggle to find it for less than £1.30!)
Canada, USA & UK
- Robeez has a 50% of sale on babies & children’s shoes (change the currency depending on your country). A friend of mine just stocked up on 5 sets as gifts for Christmas as she said “shopping done” lol. It looks like the sale changes depending on your country – in the UK it is 40%. The only problem with ordering online is you can’t tell where the shoes are made which, if you are trying to be an ethical consumer makes it a tad tough!
woooo thank you!!
(btw, ASDA’s economy range toilet paper is 12 for £1.32, and they don’t do that sneaky trick of making the core wider like Sains does)
Will have to pop over to the PETA site
Compact, do they feel ok? I’ve never gone to Economy, I’m scared chicken

No prob! Enjoy!
this is an unusual post for you……….glad you are including us all in it.
Gill in Canada
I know, but the deals I found were just fab! lol
Cakewrecks = WIN. Totally made my day after a bout of stress.
Well I’m glad you liked it Kris. It did make me giggle a great deal :0)
Great UK finds thanks for the farmers market guide link always handy xxx
Glad you like!!!
ooooh thank you!!!!!
Found your blog recently and I am really enjoying it.
<ust say I was surprised to see you including Canada in your finds too. Those Robeez shoes are fantastic, although everyone around me buys them so I can usually find good ones second hand and my daughter is a little too big for them now anyway.
