when is the best time to use a double points voucher? all of my recent shops have been with acm or mag vouchers so didn't really seem any point using the double points as the normal points were low. when have most people used theirs?

It really depends on you and how much you're prone to spend in one shop. I usually spend 5-10 pounds in most shops, today I spent 11.xx in one (only because I had coupons if you spent 10 on healthcare) and went ahead and used my double points coupon. Whatever is the biggest shop you would normally do with cash, that's a good time to use it.

welcome back broclo:D I hope you had a nice holiday sunning yourself on coral bay beach (I'm green with envy;) )

I can't wait for my couple of weeks in the sun:j

LOL did not even make it to Coral Bay...!

Parents have a place in Kato Paphos near 'Bar Street' but did not go there as was too hot as they are having a severe heatwave(water turned off 2 days a week in Paphos it is that bad!(thank goodness parents water is from a spring!!!)) and so stayed in their place in the small villsge of Choulou which is towards the Troodos Mountains about half hr drive, but so much cooler! However it was still 140F in the shade up there! Only went to Paphos to go to the supermarket a few times and I had 'water' running down my legs! Took baby one time as wanted to get new shoes for him and the poor thing really suffered!

Still... despite coming back whiter than when I went, I still had a great time(was 'quiet' but learnt how to make all sorts of odd things by the locals and almost got 'married off' on a daily basis lol) as always lovely to spend time with my family, just gutted to come back to be honest as my heart is there, even more gutting to know how much my parents will miss the little fella! Still...maybe one day I can convince a court that I have a flat in Kato Paphos, free of charge, waiting for me and DS and he will have a better life, can live in hope eh!

Still atleast there is a Boots in the UK!

Sorry for waffle :rotfl:

Grumpy SA served me today, and when the survey came out of the till she was suddenly very nice - explained the survey and said "just answer 'very satisfied' for all the questions." Yeah right, she's funny too!

it's knowing when the best time to use it is or keeping it too long just in case then it expires. decsions...I never was very good at making them:rotfl: it's not even my voucher it is OH's:D but I don't think he has even seen the vouchers:rotfl:
