Snap and save works via computers too

Will I be banned from the NPT for not having a clue what Snap and Save is?

Me too.

I have a feeling this is the sort of thing we are meant to know about via MSE.:o

Just looked at the stuff for snap/save - looks like a whole bunch of stuff that can usually be bought much cheaper by shopping around or waiting for/stocking up on a deal. So it's a way to get lazy shoppers to think they've saved money on the whole.

For me to take a photo I'd have to get the camera out, snap, turn it off, remove the card, find the USB card reader, plug it in, plug in the card, wait for it to load on the desktop, then get it off the card, then put the card back in the camera and the camera back in its bag and put the camera away again .... it's not going to happen for 40p.... especially if that's a 40p 'saving' on something full price/overpriced.

It's not for me.

I've not saved anything today - because I've not spent anything.... it seems to me that the reason Ms can 'save' so much is due to perpetual high spending
£14 Chinese down to £5.... I'd not even be buying at £5 full price. Snap/save (had to Google that one), seems to rely on not only spending money, but also having a posh phone.

£5 for a meal for 5 of us is a couple of quid more than normal but it was a special treat. My posh phone cost 67 quid and I will sell it for at least that when it is 2 years old.

The 2.50 on roses I hope will be a good investment

Snap and save is a new thing on topcashback... Eg spend at least £5 on flowers in certain supermarkets, upload pics of receipt, and get £2.50 credit. It's only been running a couple of weeks, so you're only docked half an MSE point

I've still not got a posh phone.... last NPT advice was "wait, might be a better one along soon/cheaper...."

It's getting to the urgent stage now. There's a lot I could be achieving with a posh phone that is holding me back in various things at the moment.... the time is imminent.

Of course you only buy stuff that is on promotion anyway - eg 4x snickers are £1 in Morrisons from normal 1.89, Nutella is on special in Tesco etc.
