    :rotfl:

    I am not sure if that is deliberate but your post could be read two different ways.

    To clarify, are you accusing Sainsburys or the Scottish shoppers of being 'Tight Fisted Gits'?

    :D

    Didn't mean to thank you. Really don't get your post?

    Surely you don't have to tell Sainsburys how much you earn or your tax code????

    That would be an option if we had a car, or if all the other supermarkets weren't over a kilometer away. (whilst Sainsburys is two blocks away)

    We dont kid ourselves that capitalism is benevolent, but as long as this sort of meanness doesn't go unnoticed. :rolleyes:

    Not necessarily. It is a loyalty scheme based on how much you use Sainsburys.

    Its not inverted snobbery creeping into the thread is it?

    If you do all your weekly shop at Sainsbury's and you have no money, you will spend £30 and get 1 point per pound. If you have more money and spend £60 you get 2 points. If you spend over £150, you get 4 points per pound. Someone who spends over £150/week on food is 'well-off'.
