another weird thing. My nectar card stopped giving me till spits about 2 months ago after I had a trouting and complained about it :mad:
So since then I've either avoided sainsbobs or only done minimal shopping there or at least that was the plan.
In the meantime they have showered me with mailing double points vouchers and conditional spend vouchers for £20 spends. Each set of 4 came with a voucher for additional points when you use all 4 so grudgingly I've managed to cobble together £20 shops - one week they sent me a booklet of extra points vouchers when you bought specific items and every item was something I buy regular so one week was very easy.
Would you believe they sent me two sets of these £20 conditional spend vouchers which ran concurrently. I was very glad to use up the last one this week - 4 items and some too long jeans - deep sigh.
And then the inevitable happened, today the postie brought yet another set - this time for £30 spends which is going to be even harder to achieve.
It feels a bit like when you have finished with a boyfriend but they won't take no for an answer and they still keep presenting you with flowers and chocolates that you can't say no to :rotfl:“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

Hi mhoc
Pretty sure that has finished now, hth
Why did I resist them until it was too late - I think I need to sit on the naughty step, I minute for every year of your life so I am going to be there for quite a while“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

Exactly!
!!!!!! do the same, sending mailing after mailing of MOCs and points, often with overlapping dates and over lapping categories and then there is always the hope of a till spit conditional spend so it draws you in again. And then you get worried about the left over mailing coupons in case you can't use them and then they might not send you any more
They rebuilt my local !!!!!! and in between it was a Portacabin store. The new store was open 6 months before I set foot in it so I did wean myself off !!!!!! at one time but now I am loitering in there as much as ever I was“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
