And this has what? to do with me?
It seems that just because I told you it was none of your business what I do and don't do that you have decided that I'm an immoral person and that I was being defensive.
It seems to me that you know a whole lot more about getting free stuff from Tesco than I do, does that mean that you are in there filling your trolley everyday? No. It doesn't.
You're obviously happy to make uninformed snap judgements. Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll often be surprised and rarely disappointed.

If this is not a defensive "reaction" then I am not sure what else would qualify as such.

My reference to the "lost" Tesco deal had nothing to do with you, per se. However, it is a true recounting of the episode as it unfolded. It shows how one's actions do affect others, and therefore does become their business.

I look at it this way. If a freebee is for something that I will use, or will get back into using (eg nail varnish - not used it for years, but would like to see what modern day varnishes are like), then I will apply for it. Also to be honest if I can use it where a company has made a mistake then I will use it too. Eg the John Lewis freebee. I did that one because I could get my lovely niece a little extra something for free.

I think most freeibees on here, do not have much monetary worth, and so there is little point in collecting them if you are not going to use them

a lot of people who are sending off for freebies especially sim cards are then selling them on ebay to make a nice little profit surely this must be acceptable not only are they saving money which the site is all about but also making a little bit as well..
