    Just catching up ....Buy at least 3 x £25 of the Arcadia vouchers from Tesco - 20% = £60 , hand in 3 of the 100 point coupons out of the magazines and you will also get 150 points for spending over £50 plus a hh for £5 for next week :D

    It is starting to make sense now, are the Arcadia vouchers for a group of shops including Top Shop. thanks Emerald. :)

    Please can I ask what exactly is a snowball - what is in it and how much it works out per bottle?

    my oh was so impressed by te wine savings it would be very easy to persuade him to do the same over the weekend. I think snowballs would have to go in a seperate shop though.

    They are the small packs of 4 ready made snow balls which are advocaat and lime and lemonade I think.

    Snap posted a picture this morning. ;)

    Don't think you would need to do them in a separate shop, last year I got few bottles of wine and added couple packs but we still have them so won't be buying anymore. :eek:
  • OK I've done my shop and only managed the desserts in Sains as they didn't carry any of the hair stuff & we don't drink.

    However for those of you that do I've added a few items.

    I spent £23.08 - £20 double up Nectar + a £3 off £20 shop. Had to rush to get a moam bar to go with my whoopsies otherwise would have been less than £23. I spent 8p in hard cash:j
    OK I bought 4 Ben & Jerry + 1 magnum =£21 to use the £20 voucher. Got some excellent whoopsies too and had a BM for £9.04 back. Therefore my £10 of Nectar points predoubling turned into a shop that cost me pence for actually about £30 of shopping.
    The hair deals could work out even better IF your shop has them!

    How to turn your worthless (almost) Nectar points into BM - losing little & buying yourself some treats - for almost free!
    I've got a shed load (£130 quid!) of Nectar points & am really disappointed that I can only spend £20 doubled up in 4 categories. Don't drink so that leaves me 3 categories.
    Just got to thinking about brand match & wondered if it's possible to get your spend back? It virtually is!

    Someone has pm'd me with reference to taking stuff back to Mr T's. Apparently they are a staff member so don't want to post it themselves and have asked me to post it for them.

    If you print a mini bank statement that shows the transaction number and date/time of whatever info your bank provides (if you have paid by card) then this is considered a legal receipt .

    So I assume what they are saying is, if you have a Mr T's transaction on your bank statement, then you can say it is for the clothes you bought and they will accept that. Obv it has to be for the same amount or more than what your taking back;)

    i did a mystery shop to my local Asda recently and one of the tasks was to enquire at CS regarding a television that i had bought and recently developed a fault but no longer had the receipt for, i had to ask if i could return the television along with my bank statement , needless to say the numb nuts that was on CS that particular day said no... :eek:
    But they DO accept a bank statement as proof of purchase

    I had to be somewhere and was already running late, so will have to take the hit this time. :o

    Good job only lost £4 and not £6, annoyingly I did remember at one point I needed another item, but because I was in a rush went straight to till without picking up my flump. Will get it first next time. :rotfl:
    That happened to me, I had 3 meal deals including 6 3 for 2 mash, No pp popped out :eek:

    So I went to CS for a refund, it took 20 mins as they were well confused with the receipt :rotfl:

    Got a pp in the end though :D

    Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but the wine has actually gone down in Tesco, scanning at £6.99 now so not giving as much back on PP
