V brief update from me (apologies not read back)

Visited 3 WHSmiths ... got trouted in 2nd and 3rd (both said the same can't use gift card to buy gift card) ... so I have 4 greetings cards and 2 gift cards (£9.xx + £15) ... not bad but could have been better. May try 1st store again tmrw but maybe they've all been warned now? Anyone had recent successful shops?

Boots ... got 10 x Nice N Easy Conditioners ... FREE

Sainsbury's ... got 2 packs of Bob the Builder figures ... 70% off ... should have been £4.99 each got 1 for £1.50 and the other £1.49(???) ... reclaimed £2.50 Nectar points so paid 49p

No time for Mr T today

EDIT: I thought I'd got a bargain with Bob ... but apparently not

You still did well. There's £4.11 postage with that Amazon seller :T:T

In case you were wondering what to spend your WHSmith giftcards on I have found a good buy from the clearance section no less...

Hope the foot is feeling better Artha:(

Thanks for that (and all others who've said the same) but in reality it's a minor inconvenience compared to what others on here are facing:(

Bookworm :beer:

nothing interesting in mr t today, found a few ood sels, might go back for them in the morning :cool:

to get my shop over £40 treated myself to one of those alcoshot kits, so am going to make my own booze, was £10 but only £5 with the MOC from sundays mail

andrex 2 for 3.50 scans correct :mad:

the veg coupon is 3 for 2 cheapest free
medium eggs buy 1 get 2 free goes in @ £7.50 then takes off £5

spent £40, after vouchers/coupons £28 which i'm very happy with]

where is my mate London ? bet murray to lose then win, did the same with berrer, made a quick 40 then left another 25 on Tsonga to win, he did looks like the shopping is already paid for..

think Swindon Town look good for a win tonight, thats one from me

2 1/4 hours before kick off..hope your still holding your breathe :rotfl:

and thanks to the OP, got the detol widget from asda for nothing

Whats the odds on getting a decent win if you buy £100 of scratchcards from WHS in the one go?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Had a good day with a friend in WH Smith, not counted how many cards I have but my total was just under £300 in gift cards, I know others have done better

Staff were great, even the Manager getting on a till to prevent queues and there were only 2 of us going back and forward:D. They were more than happy to let us do as many as we wanted:T

Went for lunch and came back ready to start again but we were told HO sent an e-mail saying gift cards could no longer be used to buy gift cards

Good while it lasted :j the shame is this was running for the last 3 weeks :eek:

@ mharzuk, you did well. I managed £70 in gift cards all but a few pence and some really nice greetings cards to boot. Only wish I had known about this earlier. Oh well never mind there is always another glitch round the corner. Just want to thank the op for this glitch.

Thanks to those that replied earlier just got back from T's, the sabitar knife set scanned at £12.50. I also managed to get a dora storio that someone mentioned the other day was £21 but it was £27, still a lot cheaper than when my little girl wanted it at christmas so I got it and put it away for her birthday. In total my bill was £63 but got it down to £12 after coupons.

Do you have a pic of the knives please

Yes, many many thanks to the op :beer:
Also I checked with the Manager and it seems you can use the gift cards to buy gift cards for other stores e.g. Argos, M&S, Next etc. Any of the gift cards they have on display it seems :j
