    Hi Pennywise, I did receive a Sainsbury magazine, but it was the same one. I received the little ones and there was no exciting vouchers like in yours!!

    Did you have to subscribe to receive the other one?

  • Quick update as shattered and all need an early night, Clubcard deals landed on the mat this morning, so we had our day out a camelot, had fab time and managed to spend very little as we took a picnic:j.

    Hols tommorrow:D, so lots of house tidying and last minute packing to get sorted.

    We received our mag too and a couple of vouchers for 20p offs on things we never buy. Trouble is we spend our weekly shop there most weeks - think we are going to do what a work colleague does and go to a different shop each time. She gets loads of good vouchers to encourage her to shop and spend with each of them - loyalty doesn't pay - Martin is right.

    Angela- i'm not loyal to any of the supermarkets and tend to shop where ever there is good offers or if i've been sent vouchers for instore or online, think this is why they send them to me, i will shop in Sains for the next 6 weeks and then move onto whoever has sent me discount, or use aldi/lidl.

    Don't know if this is too late for you, but I just did a shop using a code that was supposed to be for first time shoppers. I just created a new Sainsbury account using my partner's name and a different email address. I used the same nectar card as I have before and the same credit card to pay. Got the money off no problems.
  • HI Guys, had a fantastic holiday in the sun:j, but back to normal and its bl**dy freezing here. Did spend a bit of money on the Barclaycard whilst away about £200:o, this was on a couple of days out, so i have to ebay and survey like mad and get that money back from somewhere, but not getting down about it as we had a brilliant time.

    Whilst away postie brought me a £10 Sainsburys voucher, mouthwash to test and sun lotion:p.

    Did a big shop yesterday in Sainsburys used coupons i'd been sent and £10 voucher but still managed to spend £76:o, oh well we are now well stocked.

    Had a stack of surveys to do when i got back so spent most of yesterday evening and this morning catching up with those and i am nearly there for another £10 amazon voucher:j.
  • Morning all.

    Today i must get last of holiday washing washed and dried, need to bake cakes, already have tomato and lentil soup on the go.Had rst beef yesterday and there was enough meat left for today so will have it with mash and veg, also need to make some bread to go with soup for lunch. Also need to do this weeks meal plan.

    Going to sit down and sort budget out for the month as i get paid tommorrow, i know i will have a little extra as i did some overtime in July, but need to throw everthing at the BC, really want this paid off. Have a couple of items to list on ebay.
