quidco etiquette
Can't find the answer to this question on the quidco site. An annual insurance policy is coming to an end, I would quite like to stay with the same insurer (I had to claim on it earlier in the year and they were really great so I feel some old fashioned loyalty. They've given a renewal price but it would obviously be…

Free cranberries with tesco milk
On the label of the plastic bottle of milk I bought from tesco, was a coupon for a free pack of tesco's dried cranberries. I've only just remembered this (and the milk is at home, so I can't check for any more details), but it was Tesco's own milk (4 pints, I think) and I bought it about 2 days ago.

Buying the staff food waste at work

I work at M&S and we never reduce anything going out of date, therefore the staff get to enjoy some fantastic bargains at the end of the day.

Cheap books online
Can anyone please recommend any good internet sites where i can buy cheap books. Getting sick of paying over inflated prices in Waterstones. I saw an option on amazon (even tho they weren't that cheap) where you can buy used books. How does this work, do you pay directly to the seller and does anyone have experience of…
Tesco reduced price barcoded stickies
I was under the impression that the barcoded reduced price stickers, made it now impossible to get them to pay you for taking goods away. For example 1.99 pack on BOGOF, packs reduced to 50p. Under the old system if you bought 2 costing you £1.00 the till would refund you £1.99 so you are paid £0.99 to take the stuff away…
