    I have had loads lately, Azera, E45, Sure, Maggi, vanish and I'm just waiting on the Flora shipment. I love doing the Bzz stuff.

    Just got the Tesco Free From bzz kit. Looks like the vouchers they provide for bzz agents don't cover the cost of the whole item which is a bit unfortunate. I don't think the vouchers to give away are overly generous either.

    My first 'campaign'....not impressed :(

    The pizza is currently unavailable...
    Porridge costs £2..(voucher £1)
    Tesco seeded bread costs £2..(voucher £1.35)
    Newburn seeded loaf costs £2.50..(voucher £1)
    Mrs Crimbles macaroons £1.15..(voucher 75p)

    Free From products are not like 'normal' products, they are without wheat, gluten etc. for people that can not eat/their bodies tolerate certain products. They are also very expensive compared to 'normal/ everyday' mass produced foods!
    Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

    Agreed. I have a coeliac friend and a lactose intolerant sister that these will really come in handy for. Free From stuff really is so expensive! I know they'll be grateful for any amount of money off, especially my friend as she has to spend a fortune on gluten-free products!

    I can't understand people that sign up to campaigns when they don't really use/need the items involved, and then complain about the cost of the items/lack of kit involved. It just takes up spaces from people genuinely in need of it.

    Just got invited to do the sure maximum protection :T which will come in very handy whilst using the veet easy wax because no doubt I'll be sweating with anxiety whilst using it :rotfl:

    I've had no campaigns offered for months, following a disastrous experience with Splenda and me refusing to review it as it made me sick. Then I got the E45 trial a few weeks ago, yesterday I got Veet and now I've got Lambrini, lol, really would have liked the Scholl one but c'est la vie :)

    I would complain to Bzz Agent - you are either supposed to get free products or a voucher that covers a free product, I would not be spending any of my own money on them personally. Tesco are cheapskates through and through :)

    I got an invite yesterday for the Veet one

    pretty impressed as only joined a couple of months ago and this is already my 2nd campaign as i'm just finishing the Halls XS one

    looking forward to trying veet as tried to do it once but that was with the stupid wax strips that you warm with your hands and i could never get it right so will be interesting to see how i get on with this

    To be fair, the coupons in the kit are for a total amount of £16.60 off various items in the Free From range - all great savings for people that are used to having to fork out up to £2.50 for a little loaf of bread!

    I think people are expecting too much from this campaign and perhaps aren't used to buying gluten free products, therefore not realising how expensive they usually are. For people used to these prices the help is genuinely appreciated, even if it doesn't make the product free. Some of the higher-amount coupons make the items very cheap indeed.

    If people have signed up to the campaign just to get something for free when they don't really need to be buying from the Free From range then more fool them I guess. Can't really complain about it. Personally, as someone who knows how expensive these items can make a weekly shop, I think it's great to have a ton of money off coupons.
