25% off

Just a quick note about yesterday's visit by OutReach to fix my father-in-law's phone line yesterday. We ended up with a phone line in his house, as well as his internet working. Our internet kept working. However, my father-in-law ended up with our phone number. I despair!

I nipped into Tesco yesterday to see whether they had the monthly 25% off deal on wines - and they did. It was the last day, so I took advantage of it.

25% off 6 bottles or more, limited to 36 bottles so, naturally, I maxed out and staggered to the car under the weight. However, I didn't save as much as I'd anticipated, as Tesco, in their wisdom, had pushed the price of my favourite tipple up to £8 a bottle. Cunning. Nevertheless, I saved £72.

Tesco have this promotion roughly once a month from a Thursday to the following Monday, but you don't know which week it will be, so you have to be on your toes.
