Morrisons Disney Cards

My daughter has really bought in to these, and all the other children have them etc etc...

We really can't afford to be going into Morrisons and spending £30 a time, and the items included are high priced brands we wouldn't usually go in for..

Can anyone see any obvious (or not!) other ways around spending out to get them?

    Search Morrison's Disney Cards on EBAY and it will provide you with loads of results :)

    Also there are selected items in store that if you buy you get a pack too.
    I brought some potatoes last week and got an extra pack, but not sure what they are..

    if you buy multipul items of the same thing e.g fary washing up liquid special offer 2 for £2.50 check very carefully on your reciept as only one dys code is counted on your till reciept.
    if they are put through seperatly you get two codes , how many of the 10 million shoppers a week have missed out on there chance to collect cards for children - they are the big thing right now and potentially missed out on a golden ticket holiday to disney land ?!
    I walked round my local morrisons this morning to find out how many of the special perchase item were actually labeled or in stock in the shop ,
    to my surprise i found 12 items on the list not highlighted in any way and 4 items not in stock or promotion carded ,why as a shopper am i only to find out which promotions are on by downloading the list off the morrison's web site ,nowhere is it avaliable to seen in store ,
    when i spoke to the manager about this he was surpised that i had nothing better to do on a saturday morning than to make his life more difficult ,made a few noises about retraining staff ,looked at my reciept gave me the missing packs and as far as he is concerned that it is .
    complacencey is rife
    ,but when money is tight and you can make your children happy with free cards with purchase surley stick to the rules set ,nowhere dose it say shopper is responsible for counting up number of card packs on till reciept the staff check and stamp you get what your given
    ,when i got home from shopping my 6 year old son helped put away the shopping in return for cards he noticed the difference on the till roll that is what propted me to do walk round shop this morning ,
    my question :who moniters the promotions on behalf of the customers , we always seem to be last thought
    any body else think this is naughty practise by morrison's
  • quite right mummybird - I lost count of the number of times I've been handed the WRONG number of cards.

    Staff have commented that this is a regular occurances. I bought 12 btls of robinsons juice and should have got 12 pkts. Staff member handed me 1.

    I politely pointed out her error. Got my 12 pkts. She then forgot to stamp my receipt and I ended up getting 60 pkts before anyone marked my receipt!

    I have a complete set of 110 and a 2nd one on the go. Doing lots of swaps on ebay and kids are having a great time!

    Pity they haven't put cards on offer for vegetables. This would be a great way to get the kids to eat their greens!
