    I suppose a couple of quid is better than nought. The other womble (yes I only managed two receipts that had 8 qualifiers on) returned with hardly enough to pay for a bottle of SP Lemonade:(:(. It very only just had 8 different items on it - I was 'allowed to see the comp.' only because the SP Noodles they happened to get were the two different ones. After they'd bought the same baby wipes twice (once at the beginning and once near the end of the shop), and the same Sauce four times:(.

    A and M were cheapest (same price) but comp. vs W gave the voucher, purely because a couple of items compared, one of which was neutral (near exactly 10% cheaper) and the other gave its ten %. The M comp wasn't as bad as that vs T, which turned out worse largely because more items compared on it.

    It was the "Great Black Berry Hunt Sequel":(. Last time it was the 150g and I went round a 'number' of stores:o trying to find the £1 or 2 for £3 item vs M. No 150g ones left, except just a single pack:(:( in one store. Tonight, I thought I'd try the bigger stores. None left in the first store, and second store (that gave me the £2 result) on way back - plenty of 150g Blackberries but no 300g this time:(.

    If you are going to find a "good comp.";) on some fresh produce like this, please can you do so on Sat. afternoon when I can be here and see it rather than on a weekday when I'll get back and see it only late in the evening after all fruit has sold out?:rotfl::rotfl: In fact it'd need to be Saturday morning (which I hardly ever manage:o) or Sunday opening times, when I'm here late on and just about manage to make it before closing time if at all!! Whoopsied blackberries may be the order of the day though. In short these fresh produce things - I'm just never here when they're on! Good find though and I'll go and look for during a more fruitful (pardon the pun:rotfl::rotfl:) time of the day.

    I think I read on another thread that Lovefilm compared unfavourably to Netflix in that you often need to pay per view for the decent/up-to-date stuff, lots of things are not included in the subscription.


    It was great until 1st march. I only have streaming and my bedroom tv is not netflix compatable, nor is my tablet.
    Think I will ring them tomorrow as do not see point of subscription if practically everything needs additional cost. Will just have to work out getting tablet to stream through tv.
    Such a shame as had so much use out of lovefilm:(

    I'm not an expert but DS1 is happy streaming through a hudl with an HDMI cable attached to the TV. It escapes me what service he's streaming from....he loses me at the HDMI part! I'll ask him tomorrow

    It did "very only just have". I almost discarded it when I was checking to see if it was worth entering at all - frowned at counting just seven different items, then I noticed the SP Noodles were different ones:T. Even though it wasn't very good in the outcome.

    The post you've quoted - I've now gone and expanded it a lot btw!:rotfl: Talking about tonight being my great blackberry hunt - the sequel:(:rotfl:.

    Same. I hate just skimming and popping in. Feel like I'm being a rubbish internet mate.

    Speaking of, better head off to bed :mad:

    Woohoo!!! 6,200 (six thousand two hundred) posts!:j:j

    Not that that has any special meaning, just that's a 'round' number (and that, this time, I happen to have noticed it just before I reached it).

    I suppose a bit like the odometer:D on your car clicking over to another 10,000 mile point and knocking another ££££s off the value of your car:(:(:(.

    In this case, dare I suggest though the greater posts hopefully bring a lot of use on occasion:money:.

    Okey-doke - I can't possibly ruin that total figure now, and it's 'late' (enough!) - enough, Savvy:drool::D:rotfl::rotfl: - so it's goodnight!:)

    Bye now.:):wave::wave:

    You're getting me to add (and I can only do so to the same post:D), 7p was the lowest amount I actually claimed on one occasion (last day of a month, was at 9 receipt total so why not?). Lucky 7:(. Did you see the one I had earlier that offered 1p?;):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::p:p:p:p:p:rotfl:

    Bye again!!:):):rotfl::wave::wave:

    We have a 10p limit for printing. DS2 worked it out. Wombles are the kids dept. They print them :) I don't get as many as I'd like these days.

    Don't answer this.....you'll be bugged if you go past your round number :shhh::silenced::shhh::silenced::shhh::silenced:
