Apparantly I am the number one buyer of sheba cat food in Eastbourne.
I only managed #5 this time; acquired plenty of Rana Mushroom Linguini thanks to the Metro coupon.

I always buy them in Sainsbury as the offer in the app usually gives me over a pound off. Normally £5 but often £3.85 with the self scan app.

I doubt I am the top buyer in reality though as their statistics only take account of those who use the app I guess.

I'd imagine they're counting all transactions with Nectar cards.

"Step ladder mistaken for new McDonald’s at Milton Keynes shopping centre"
A resident caused a stir on social media last night after posting an image of what looks like a famous fast-food brand logo in a Milton Keynes shopping centre.

Fun fact for the MK-curious.
In the city centre there are two adjacent shopping centres. One is known as the shopping centre. The other is known as "the new bit". Use this terminology if you wish to blend in with the locals.

I hope she's back by 6.30, because that's my last bus!

Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me
