just had a thought (as you do) but not sure if its a good one. re the boost cc points. would it work to double up your points for finest wines if you are buying meal deals, someone has just mentioned th e finest bisol prosecco @ 9.99 a bottle is part of the meal deal so if you did 2 meal deals For £20 and paid with a £5 boost point (doubled up to £10) youd get 2 deals for £10 in cash. can anyone see a flaw in that one.
EDITTED
just spotted the flaw, that particular wine is in a £20 meal deal, and as its 1p under the £10 you'd have to buy another bottle of finest to make the boost reduction kick in.
oh well i tried.
Oh they are beggars at times - a bit like rival Sainsbugs, maybe in conjunction with Nectar, maybe not, just seems as if they've worked it out this way (which they may or may not have) - Savvy, what you are rambling about?:D - extra points when you buy £2.50 of cereal that's £1 in Mr A, except that any cereals cheaper elsewhere are maximum £2.49 cost, so you have to put in an own brand Sains. cereal that then makes the whole deal doesn't work out as good:(.
Anyway, hello folks, I am alright (although no chance of me catching up with whatever I've missed today as needing to go nearly as soon as I've arrived, need my sleep!;):D:rotfl:) and it's worked, instead of taking up points worth a few pennies when, in theory, hypothetically, I might have spent £30, I did the complete opposite of what they (presumably) expected: I reduced my spending, on anything at all, in Sainsbobs to a bare minimum (just a pack of potatoes here and nothing else on a shop, except when Lidl had its weekend special there last weekend) - seems my spending just one or two quid and much more occasionally has paid off - I went just to top up with some petrol today and... out came a coupon for £4.50 off a £30 shop! Not points but 'real' money.
That is a good percentage of my £20 net. shopping after the brands have been matched on the comparables in my shopping. So it's, sort of, okay. I nearly bought a branded whoopsie (yes perhaps I shouldn't have fallen for it so quickly:() in my shopping, then got to the checkout (or, rather, self-scan), scanned it and then I clicked it would be likely compare vs a much higher normal price at chosen rival, so, with a few pence needed to the £30, off I rushed (after cancelling and discussing getting something else with the SA of course) and replaced it with an own brand whoopsie. BM back as expected, plus another double points coupon - oh well, only about 10p when I spend nothing over the BM value next time on own brands that are cheapest there and branded items cheapest there and unavailable in Mr A. Works for me - though I have seen about the ice cream!0 -

Can everyone read this, straight off without having to consider what it means?
(I'm hinting at my boring:rotfl: specialist topic again, wondering whether minds of autism brains and minds of those without work the same on this or not.)
[Edit: Just for clarity, this clarification not needed I suspect by most of you, I can read it straight off too.]0 -

Pricey! :eek:
