    2nd question I need some inspiration.

    I really could do with refreshing my APGS but I have no inspiration.

    Previously I would just have gone in and done a
    a v t
    shop with bom pots, mouthwash and a few essentials but now that shop is no longer possible :mad:

    I have not been keeping up with the glitches but anyway I don't need biscuits or hair care or shower gel

    Any suggestions pretty please? I really don't want to do an muggle shop

    Ditto, I have one for £22.42 expiring tomorrow...........looks like I'll be buying an oversize pair of shoes ;)

    In tesco they sell a visa 3v gift card that is for Internet use..for every £50 you buy you get 150 points..you can then use them online or go to highstreetvouchers and order gift cards there..a great one is you can get adsa gift vouchers or m/s so if these are shops you shop in anyway its good to get the extra points :)

    Its a shame none of the vouchers HSV sell, sell tesco vouchers, as that could be great fun (I checked argos on the off-chance, but they dont). Can you pay off a M&S credit card with M&S vouchers does anyone know please, as that also could be useful.

    Morning folks:wave:
    Hope your all well?
    Just got back from booty, so ready for brekie now:)
    Did see something i didnt want to:( this man drove into a parking space but on the way in hit the car to the left of it:eek::eek: i didnt want to hang about as was on my own but was almighty bang.
    When i went back to the car, the car he had hit had gone but his was still there and he had badly damaged his bumper, hope he left details but bet he didnt:mad::mad::mad:

    I think he probably did leave his details if he was still parked there, as if he was going to try to get away with it, he would have moved his car away from the one he hit (presuming he was a man, she could have been a female :) )

    Afternoon mad squad,

    Thanks for the advice regarding the coffee machine, I got the dolce gusto half price in mrT, used a couple of PPs too. I love it and so does the rest of the family. Off to look for some nice latte glasses today.

    Mrs99p now has books on her archos, thanks for the advice on this too.

    :T
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    I've joined the 5:2 club cos mrT made me eat 1p chocolate.

    i do the same with my tesco cc. :)

    does it pay the same 0.05%?

    Ive got a asda cc card as well which just takes the ).05 off the monthly bill
    - I only spend about £20 a month in there unless I am near an Asda petrol station.
    I think I got this asda cc card to only use in Asda in the hope that they would send out MOCs etc with the monthly bill and other mailings but it never happened :(
    Same with my Marks CC card which again is only used in Marks so its only when I am doing a food shop to use MOCs or a cloths shop in the sale. This gives me reward vouchers 4 times a year - I missed the GR vouchers so Ive only got £1 reward voucher to come this month.
    But Marks send out mailings of one sort or another every month usually extra points vouchers but still better than nothing.

    Ive got a marks monthly saver which is on its anniversary month and its paying 5%. We have not heard yet but hopefully it will continue. Setting up was a bit of a mither and I got shed loads of paper work but since then its been no problem at all.
    I get a statement each month for my Marks current and I then just ring to check the balance.
    I have a standing order form my nationwide and £1300 goes into the marks current. On the same day £1000 standing order goes back into the nationwide current. Then £250 goes from the marks current into the Marks monthly saver - all set up over the phone.
    If Marks do drop their savings rate on the monthly saver - well it depends on how much by - 4% or or even 3% is still better than most places so I would stick with it.
    If it drops to 2% then I will ditch - first time I will have done this. So in that case the Marks current and monthly savings will close, standing orders cancelled and whatever balance I get from both I might just get a bond - maybe one of the new Post Office ones.

    Nenen, I'll PM you sometime later regarding the points you'd added at the end of my OP. Regarding the receipts, it's difficult (not impossible) to see exactly what was bought there - it's the time, date, etc. of the receipt that would need to be entered to retrieve the details of the items (not sure if those are available if no PP was returned off a shop?!?) - rather than post those, to the world, on here I don't know if entering them into here and 'Get my results' works:

    https://www.tescopricepromise.com/

    Otherwise the details would need to be typed out, from the physical items but, as that's largely academic, I feel time best spent moving onto something else!:) Give the "PP" site a go to see if it retrieves the details to copy and paste - if not, let's move on!:):)

    Oh WOW! Many thanks for the PP link Savvybuyer - I did wonder if everyone got all the info from somewhere or just spent ages typing items from their rl shopping! This is what the PP page told me about the first batch of shopping I did where I was deliberately putting through items that were on special offer at Toscas (or I thought Toscas might be the cheapest):
    We checked the price of all the comparable items in your basket with A, S's and Ms and found that:
    Sada was
    £1.61
    more

    Sainsbobs was
    £9.58
    more

    Morries was
    £5.46

    Does that help Savvybuyer? What can I learn from this?
