    if youre doing a buyback, more than likely you wouldnt want to use the product, as there is some thing wrong and you either need to destroy or return to the company


    only exception to that ive found has been chocolate rolls a few years ago :rotfl:

    It told on the e-mail, to photograph them and destroy them. But the thing had the wrong sleeve around it and the product in question had stamped on the film the actual product.

    They aren't to know I had bought some, to eat them

    The alerts subscription on this site sucks majorly. It works one day and it doesn't the next.

    Anyhooooooo..... what's the smallest alcoholic beverage I can get from slapper shop? I am doing a few tomorrow and don't want to end up buying bottles of wine. Will a little can or beer/alcohol/lager/wine work? I don't drink and I don't understand such things.

    Can of Pimms, about £1.50, should be OK, I bought one last week.

    You can buy a cocktail in a small black can for £1 - bargain! They have mojitos, cosmopolitan and a couple of others.

    I don't really drink so I normally get one of those.
    Here I go again on my own....
  • There's a minimum spend though, which is more than £1.50 (I know it's not a fee but I don't like mentioning specifics!)

    A bottle of nice cider should be there or there abouts.

    Editing to say; just double checked and it definitely says a minimum on the paperwork. Have others got away with not spending that?
  • I've bought the cans of Jack Daniels and Coke before. They were actually very nice.

    I once did this one and at the time thesePremix+AuthenticCocktailCo+Selection.jpg were £1 each.

    I think they should either allow us to buy painkillers or double the min spend on that option.

    If you don't drink that sort of thing, donate it to a charity for their Christmas fair tombola.

    Thank you all for the responses. I think I will go with Middy's suggestion. Looks nice and discrete and doesn't shout "I'm an alcoholic".

    I don't think you have to spend £x amount on the booze, it just says we will give you £x amount towards the purchase unless I am reading it wrong.
  • It says "you can spend as much as you like but must purchase alcohol and spend a minimum of £x" in the "This assignment involves" section. Which I suppose does not necessarily mean you must spend the minimum on alcohol, but there is a minimum spend.

    Edited cos I wrote the same thing twice, because my delete key has stopped working!
