Hi comperking.
Thanks for all that info.

Can I just ask, what is a word scanner?
I've been on e-bay and searched for one, but nothings coming up.
I would like to get one of them for when I'm out shopping, save me scribbling all the addresses down.

My shopping habits have totally changed now I've starting comping.
I look out for all the competitions in the store, when looking at wine I look for neck labels for the comps. Washing powder and cereals nearly always have some comp of some kind on them. And hubby has been very happy when I've come home with some single bottles of beer because they had a comp on them!
And I've even started looking at the pet food aisle, even though I haven't got a pet. Just to see if any comps are there.

Also a tip I picked up elsewhere...If you do need to send in a reciept of proof of purchase, always buy that item seperate.
Because if you have bought two or three things with proof needed, and it's all on one reciept, you can only enter one comp then.
The cashiers think I'm mad when I ask for two or three different items to be scanned and paid for separetly!:rotfl:

Does Morrisons do a magazine? I never seem to be able to find it, I guess it is meant to be at the bag packing section but i never see it there, also is it free?

Hi Folks

This may help fellow compers find a club in their area.

Some may out of date but worth a try.

Good Luck

Hi Comperking - thanks for all your help in this thread. I have a question for you though.

In your big post above you said to look out for "all the free mags issued in your town" - can you give some help as to where to find these as I wouldn't have a clue where to start.

Thanks again
