    Hi Katsu

    I've been a member of shop and scan for about three years now. It's a nice easy way to earn a bit of extra cash. I also do their snack on the go thing or whatever it's called where you text them with the snacks that you buy.
    Now I'm even more jealous ;) How did you get on their panel in the first place?

  • Hi Katsu

    I can't remember how I first joined Shop and Scan. I think I just went on their website and registered my interest. Then about a year later, they emailed me asking me to join the snack and go texting panel. The snack and go thing is really good because you can earn up to 5000 points (£5) a week!

    I'm going to be so jealous I turn green at this rate :rotfl:

    I shall just have to keep hoping that one day their computer says yes, and they offer me a place on their panel.

    Im glad it is so beneficial for you - £5 a week is a nice painless mortgage OP contribution - so nice of them :D

    I did my nilsson scanning today for my shopping and realised I spent £1.99 in Superdrug on shower gel that I'm sure I saw in the 99p store. I think I know where I'm going tomorrow...

  • The economy packs of Huggies Superdry are on BOGOF at Co-op at the moment. They cost £9.59 each. I bought one pack of size 4 and 3 packs of size 4+ for my DD. Oh and packets of Oreos were also half price at 47p per pack so I had to buy a few packs. :D At the till I also got £2 off the total cost of my shopping as I had two x £1 off when you spend £10 vouchers.

    We went to Ikea for a meatball wednesday lunch (meatball meal for only £1.50 + free tea with the Family Card) only to discover that that particular offer has now ended. My OH was really upset because he loves meatball wednesdays. He ended up getting the spicy chicken and rice with mango chutney instead for £3.50 which he said was mediocre. I had the kids fish and chip meal for £1.50.

    Sold a few things on Ebay for £60.84, and have a few more items listed for auction.
  • Sainsburys have boxes of 9 packs of Pampers Sensitive wipes on sale for a bargainous £5.00. The hubby bought 4 boxes back home tonight on his way home from work. Plus we had a £2 off when you spend £20 voucher and a £1 off Pampers voucher. :j
  • I haven't done any surveys for a long time, so tonight I logged into my onepoll account and did a few surveys and made a total of ..... 20p! Every little counts I suppose. Also did a few daily clicks on Quidco which I think amounted up to 9p. Tried to do some Valued Opinion surveys too while watching Hollyoaks, but I kept getting screened out after the first few seconds. Grrr. So annoying. :mad:
  • Yippeee! Just checked online and found out that I've won £50 of Premium Bonds this month!!!!!! :j My premium bond winnings don't go towards my mortgage overpayments though as they are just reinvested back into premium bonds. I'm hoping to win the jackpot one day.

    That's great - well done :j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
