ok a word of warning about wombled receipts. If you are looking to get points put onto another account, ie T£sco or Sainsbobs they are very strict about this and their T&C state they can and will take away your loyalty card.
So while it is fine to add one or two a week, don't go crazy and take 10 at a time.
The ones that HOK3Y refers to is A$da receipts. They have something called the a4da p4ice guar4ntee. you go online, enter the barcode at the bottom of the receipt and hopefully they were not 1o% cheaper than their competitor and you get a receipt to print with a value on that you can spend in a2da.
you need to keep the orignal receipt with you r printout to hand in.
a word of warning don't use ones where they have paid with creditc ards or debit cards.....
Oops, why not use one where they have paid with credit/debit card? Do they check them? I did this last month or the month before with one and haven't had any problems as yet...GE 36 *MFD may 2043

I'd like to squeeze in too, please, if there's room for one more, though I think £5 each day would be a more realistic target for me.
Yesterday amounted to £3.00 from Pinecone and £2.69 from the Asda Price Guarantee, nicely exceeding my target for Day 1, but such days are definitely not typical for me and today has so far brought in 18p from Qmee. My maths is atrocious, but by my dodgy calculations this means I'm at £5.87/£150 for November now.
I was an avid follower of October's thread and am totally in awe of the superhero-level powers for spotting road-kill and other amazing talents displayed. You're all quite inspirational. I don't expect to do nearly as well, but will be happy if I can get to the end of this month knowing that I've given it my best - every little helps
Another big 'Well done!' from me to fairyclicks tooDecember 'Make £10 A Day' Challenge - £1.82/£155.000 -
Wowzers, just had a mega catch up with this thread!
emmaglet congrats on being a finalist! I've got everything crossed for you.
Aesop sorry to hear about your wall ordeal.
Mavvymoo well done on all that debt busting.
Fairy, amazing win! Congratulations!
Just did some savvy shopping at Mr T's. Doubled up £15 of clubcard vouchers to £30 in the boost scheme. That meant I could get something for DS2 for free. Not adding that to this challenge but Santa is definitely happy with that!
I also had a 60p off any p@mpers wipes till spit. I usually by own brand as they are cheaper even taking the coupon into consideration, but I noticed a handbag size packet of p@mpers wipes for 49p. Tried my luck and coupon was accepted, meaning free wipes and another 11p off the rest of my shopping.
As this then all took me over £40 I used a £5 off a £40 spend coupon too, which I wouldn't have been able to use otherwise, and a double clubcard voucher! Walked out of the shop feeling smug, and spotted 10p roadkill!! So I'm adding £5.70.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

I should add here that I never redeem more than two in a shop - if I went in there with 15 vouchers, I would expect to be hauled up on it. So I split my shop down and go several times a week so that I can redeem them bit by bit. I've also not had problems with debit/credit payments but I have been expecting to produce the card at some point.....and I have a response prepped. If they refuse to ever redeem any, I can at least say I have lost nothing while trying!
