You can reserve the Homebase mop online using Shop & Earn and pay in store to get your SB credit + 15% discount. And of course you can get/use Nectar points when you pay. It's 2SB for every pound 'spent' at the moment. (I'm just reserving some compost. It'll be available to collect in 2 hours and in a month I'll get SB for it. )

Thank you so much! I didn't think to look on shop and earn for this and because I'm planning to go into store.

Hmmm, I just reserved but it's saying it won't be ready for collection until 10am tomorrow morning. Well, I need to collect it tonight, so fingers crossed. It's still 3 hrs tip closing time so they should be able to accommodate that!

You're most welcome. With most Shop & Earn terms you have to actually buy the item online but this includes reserve and collect. That's fine if they do free delivery to store and am not in a hurry but I tot up quite a few SB a month simply by reserving stuff I've realised I need to buy where there's loads in stock and I can wait a couple of hours to collect it. It's a nice thing - I get little credits of 30 - 40 SB come in about once every couple of weeks which is like getting through a PL survey. It can mean I'm halfway to my first target when I log on once in a while, which is nice.

Edit, I'd expect my store to get a reservation processed tonight unless they're totally slammed. You can also chance it, go in later with the number and see if you can pick it off the shelf but they will mark it as collected on the system so that you get the bucks.

Yeah, I know they have enough in stock and they have had the same amount in since yesterday, so I will do that if ness. I don't buy things often (get a lot of things in charity shops) but I will remember this tip!

I've not even had the confirmation email through yet. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow as I'm already at target today.

Mine came in this morning. I went and filled out all the profile and I'm still waiting for the credit.

That's a great tip, I didn't know you could do that. Sadly I can't afford one right now as I've just spent every last penny of my savings on a new kitchen. Trying to get the extras I need with Amazon vouchers! So far have bought utensils, chopping boards, storage jars and a wine rack to go in the new fridge. Still need a steam mop, knife set, frying pan and no doubt some other bits and bobs.

I used to think that, until I had a steam mop and now I don't spend money on detergent which quickly pays for itself. Also, it's quicker as the floor dries almost instantly and is sanitised without chemicals.

I had a steam mop that could also be used on carpets, so I steamed them all- amazing what came off and saved myself at least £35 off a rental machine.

More than paid for itself in just a couple of weeks. Plus, you don't have to spend loads- they start at around £20 and you're looking at at least £7 for an Addis mop, plus bucket and detergent. Then you'll need to factor in replacement heads at several pounds each- steam mop heads are just put into the washing machine and re-used. I tried cheap mops from supermarkets and they break quickly. So it's really not an extravagance.
