Sam, that’s amazing savings 🤩 I so need to get my shop down more….well done 👏

@@Livingonthev-edge thank you 😊

I love watching your Olio hauls. Where I am its rubbish and no Bread and Butter thing or Company shop.

[@tryingtogetby]

@kateleese9663 that's so disappointing with the Olios. I've not found a Company Shop near me I keep hoping TBBT will spread further.

[@SarahToft-u1u]

Omg i live around the same area as you ❤ we used to have a lovely lady that collected for our area and used to get some fabulous stuff but shes either moved or stopped collecting x

[@tryingtogetby]

@SarahToft-u1u wow where abouts are you? If you don't want to say in a public forum, message me on Facebook are you part of our group?

I make lettuce soup and you could add the spring onions and some mint. Makes a delicious soup few croutons x

[@tryingtogetby]

@NaturallyLibby lettuce soup is great I made it as part of my Year of Soup series 😋

[@ML-hh2tf]

You manage to do well on Olio. The nearest lady to me is generous, but I think a lot of people collect from her; so we aren't allowed to collect so much all in one go. Maybe who you collect off doesn't mind. Id be chuffed with all that lot too.

[@tryingtogetby]

@ML-hh2tf I am pretty lucky to have found a really good Olioer (new word lol) I really appreciate what I can get.

[@anonamead6501]

Lettuce and pea soup is very tasty

[@tryingtogetby]

@@anonamead6501 I have made lettuce and potato but not with peas, worth a try 😋

Hi Samantha you did absolutely brilliant with your olio hauls. I collected some veg yesterday from someone and thats come in handy today towards a roast dinner for hubby . We always seem to get quite a few quorn products which is good as i dont eat meat .
Hopefully can get TBBT collection this coming week as ive not been able to go for the last couple of weeks due to hubbys shift pattern so 🤞 i get on the list this week.
Have a great week❤

[@tryingtogetby]

Hi Jane, good luck with your TBBT this week, I managed to get on the list for this week I will upload what we got next week.

[@michellebird3120]

[@danielleptc]

Wow, what an amazing Olio haul!

[@tryingtogetby]

@@danielleptc I think it's my biggest yet.

[@EmmaHolland-dy4zk]

How much is your treat budget?

[@tryingtogetby]

@@EmmaHolland-dy4zk generally about 20 to 30 a month it depends but we know that it is easily something we can cut if we need to.

[@krazykefir]
