    I used to have trouble finding this thread. Now I get to it via the link in the first post of the newspapers thread. Hope this helps.
    Or if you go to User CP at the top of the page - just under where it says "Welcome (username)" - all the threads you have ever posted in are there, so it's easy to keep track of things. :)

    (or you don't even have to post in a thread, you can just subscribe to it and it will show in your user CP as well :))

    Didn't get the conditional spend coupons . Did anyone else?
    The Nurture say in small can be redeemed in Sainsburys. Does these mean they cannot be used else where?

    Hi Barney,

    These are not NSS as it states in the small print they're for Sainsburys only - what a shame! :(

    Also, I didn't get any conditional spend ones with my mailing/ :(


    Cheers both of you, I missed that :o, have edited now.

    I don't know why I got the conditional spend coupons and others didn't, maybe because I don't shop at Sainsburys often :confused:

    Good Housekeeping July - Fern Britton on cover £3.40

    Just got my subscriber's copy and it comes with a summer chequebook!

    Lots of coupons/competitions but not many MOCs with 9 at the front - just 4 totalling £2.00 that I could see; sorry, haven't time to list the lot but other goodies were 2 for 1 at Cafe Rouge, Bella Italia, 15% off at M and Co and many others.

    In the mag is a subscriber's offer- £20 worth of Cath Kidston products - bubble bath, body cream and candle - £16 for 6 months via D/D.

    Couldn't see anything else of great interest in ther but itwas a vey quick flick - maybe someone else will find more goodies!

    Great to see you back barneydog :A

    I used to receive the conditional spend coupons, haven't got them in the past year though. I've also never received the 'Fresh Ideas' magazine from Mr S, and I don't shop at Sainsbury's much either. :confused:

    I think the Fresh Ideas mag is only for people with babies, as it seems to be heavily family-orientated. No idea how you get on the mailing list - I think they just look at people who have bought nappies etc from Sainsburys, and used a Nectar card? :confused:

    I have bought nappies, wipes etc from Sainsburys for the last few years (have a 9 yo & a 2 yo) always using nectar card. My Dad hasn't bought anything like that for over 20 years yet he gets the mag & I don't :confused:

    The only people I know who always get a copy are my Mum who is in her seventies and never buys nappies, and a friend - who is quite well off - with teenage chiildren, and she never buys nappies either.

    The only spending habit I think they have in common is they don't shop in Sainsburys every week - but when they do they spend about £100.

    I got sent Fresh Ideas once - when I had been been doing regular small shops in Sainsburys about 2 years ago and then stopped (when I defected to [STRIKE]couponland[/STRIKE] Tesco).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    My Dad is in his 70's he shops in Sainburys EVERY week without fail spends £30-£40 a week on shopping + about £15 a week on tabacco counter (pipe tobacco & lottery). I shop there about once a month & spend £80ish (usually online) then about £10 a week if needed on top up shops so over the month we probably spend the same???
