    Am I looking at the right gala offer on quidco? The cash back is £10, has it gone down? Be about right if it has :(

    Good evening Elite :hello:
    another quiet night for me I think :D managed to get 3 more eggs so thats me done :beer:
    I just bought some train tickets on red spotted hanky (we,, misery guts bought them for my birthday). Went through TCB and it tracked within 2 minutes!

    Now why can't my Caesars one be that quick??

    I signed up Sunday night and still no sign of mine either :(
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    :mad: Well, well, well ... Please identify yourself: woman with blonde bobbed hair wearing a black coat with a very distinct circle design who practically shoved me aside to take the last 4 Hot Wheels eggs in D'donald about an hour ago. Luckily for you, I was only there to check they kept them so I could report back here, as I said I would earlier on, or I would have given you a serious piece of my mind. You then told your mate what else to lift and discussed getting your apgs and I saw you again a little later with loads of garlic and herb potatoes and s & g in your trolley - not very discreet at what you were doing. As much as I love a bargain I would never be quite so rude.

    Anyway, I am reporting back as I said I would for the NI gang that the Hot Wheels can be found in that store on the bottom shelf of the seasonal aisle (that is, if you don't get shoved out of the way first).

    Rant over!

    I really can't believe what I'm reading!!

    This person you are slating was me actually, but let me make one thing clear you were neither shoved nor pushed.

    When I seen the eggs yes I got excited and dived down to check that they were the hot wheels. It was the 3rd store in a row I'd been looking for them.

    I did notice one other person looking at the eggs, which I assume now was you, but at no stage where you pushed out of the way, infact I'm astounded at these lies, as you were actually standing to the right of them while I was at the left.

    In light of this I can only assume your annoyance is due to the fact that I took the last 3. Had I known that you may have wanted some too I would happily have shared, and have done in the past when meeting other mse'ers.

    I don't consider 3 eggs greedy?
    I have 5 children and always donate anything I have spare to the Salvation Army, as I have mentioned in numerous posts.
    This is hardly the actions of a greedy person.
    Do you suggest I explain this to complete strangers in the supermarket aisle in case they think I'm being greedy.

    You will have to excuse me for discussing apgs within your hearing to my mate (actually my mum) or daring to also buy potatoes and s&g, I had no idea this was so heavily frowned upon.

    Reading your post has left me feeling sick and deeply annoyed., if you had a problem with me, I would have appreciated you saying something at the time. Instead you have come on here, hiding behind your computer, describing how I look and describing my clothes. I may have been excited at finding those eggs, but at no stage where you pushed or shoved at all, or is your use of the words "practically shoved" an exaggeration!

    Upon meeting other mse'ers in supermarkets I have always been friendly and helpful and on any occasion I can I contribute to this thread.

    I would seriously suggest you think before you post in future for your post has hurt me deeply and left me very shaken. I have never knowingly been rude to anyone

    I shall now return to lurking :(
    Though I'm not sure why as I think my glitchimg days have just ended.

    Evening all

    Not read back yet but just downloaded the 'shop save scan' app.
    Not a single store in my area has been used yet so if stays that way tomorrow I feel a road trip coming on.
    What I was wondering was are the offers available more than once as you have to buy something in each shop and bearing in mind these shops have slightly higher prices I was wonding if I could buy walkers crisps in each one.

    Think it could be fun to do 3 shops for freebie liquidtabs,, would love to do all stores in my area though just for a laugh:cool:

    Not going today though as have had a long and busy day.
    V x
    I think I could be doing something similar in the morning. Just wondering if these offers are a one use only? i.e. could I get free maltesers in several CooPs?
    Awaiting a new sig

    We've got 4 quidco accounts Each account has bought 3. Some 3 in 1 go, some 2 +1. I was assuming it was just 3 over the period offer.

    I like this coffee and at effectively £1 for 200g I wouldn't mind some more so might open more quidco accounts to get th e£4.50 CB, then only another £50p CB to trigger £2.50 payment to referrer(me). Only problem I can see is that payment out may need to go to a unique bank account....not a problem for me as I've got 9 Lloyds vantage accounts:)

    In your real name? Quidco and TCB?

    I worry about multiple accounts given if it links to my current account and they close me down I stand to lose quite a few big value cashbacks.

    Once per phone Artha once I did mine it disappeared off the list of offers so you would only get another one if your OH had a smartphone too

    If it has, wait and check TCB and Quidco regularly as the offers tend to alternate and increase/decrease regularly - no point using your Cashback chance for £10 when waiting a few days/weeks will see a greater return.
