    How does this deal work tia xx

    Sign up to Green Redeem
    https://www.greenredeem.co.uk/
    and complete some surveys and pledges to accrue points; 100 points gets you a £5 off £25 M&S food 'n' drink spend
    https://www.greenredeem.co.uk/reward.php?activity=46563
    vouchers valid till 31st July.

    Do your food 'n' drink shopping at M&S, concentrating on any meal deals or multibuy offers if you can; get over £25 in total before any discounts (getting as close to £25 as you can gives the biggest savings); use a self-service till if possible; once you've scanned all your shopping, scan the Green Redeem voucher before you press 'Pay' (v. important) then put it in the voucher slot; the till deducts the £5, and then deducts any meal deal/multibuy savings; if you're at a manned till, make sure the SA scans the voucher before s/he presses 'Pay'/'Total'.

    Depends on what you get, but typical savings are £25ish of food 'n' drink for £10-£11. (I got £54.58 for £22.)

    Happy shopping!:)

    current Eat in for £10 for Two prices, or as many I could note down; only a few of the wines were priced up, so I asked the SA to find out the prices of the others on display, but she couldn't understand why I wanted to know - "But all the wine is free, with the meal deal" she kept saying.:)

    Good afternoon .


    I see the part time council gypsies


    are out in force all half a dozen of them

    and 2 council toilets delivered to them too


    The young ages of the children driving these carts


    are an accident waiting to happen ......


    Not wanting to spoil their fun but I saw children as young as


    five being driven around the streets by teenagers


    Why is it if you NOT in the minority


    the majority are penalised ..


    if I parked my car where they park there carts I would be fined


    the law needs to stop under age children from driving these


    carts on main roads
