    Had a lovely breakfast at garden centre, used a 2 for 1 for 2 large breakfasts incl. toast and fruit juice, 2 free hot chocolates, cost £8.05 to feed me, OH, DD2, FD and FB (had some toast :)). :D

    B'cos you ain't shop wisely:p:p:p:p:p I might exceeded £200 (guessing) but I don't keep receipts for so long like you - I buy, enter sada receipts 3 hrs after shopping - print it out then do the next target shop ( twice a week max) for next week - then repeat the procedure.;)

    my list are sensible shop yours is:D:D:D


    If you are struggling to use them up - you know where to give it to - am sure BP, IS, MT, CW, Jeff, BL, SN and others & myself included readily accepting it :D

    I am gonna look at buying a kobo e reader with some of them and a few cif with the others:p:p:p My store is not as local as yours so not as easy to get to. If it is gonna be worthwhile for me to do the glitching then I need to do a couple of shops in a couple of stores nr to each other otherwise any dosh I save I spend in petrol getting there. So I have ended up with all these receipts cos of that.
    Re the £15 CAP. The only way they can really put a small stop/inconvenience on the glitching is to not only cap it as has been reported but only allow one per transaction. It then makes it a bit more hard work to buy plenty of stuff in one go.

    Not really BW, you can still buy in separate transactions on the day just a bit of hassle to split them up.


    I can't remember which email I used to register with bakers . I think I have to re-register.

    On another note - I am glad that I am taking time off work - me fed up of boss! fickle minded & lots of excuses all the time:mad::mad: always expect myself & my colleague to drop everything we do & get the info for him just because his OH is trying to get it sorted.

    Its our weekend & he called me & my colleague 3 times today:mad: there is only so much we can do for the company & all he wants is more more more:mad:

    Keep saying the company is not making as much profit as it used to:mad: and we keep telling him in that case SHUT THE BL00DY CO., DOWN! and all we get are excuses. Wish he shut it down & pay us redundancy £££ then we go & work for another co., who are waiting for us to join them.
