Good morning all

Need to unlock two more retailers to get to my £25 bonus.

I've already done:

• Hotel Chocolat £2.75
• Early Learning Centre £5.59
• Frasers £16.20
• Topman £3
• The Works £4.99
• Living Social £17
• M&S £2

I can't see me buying things from five retailers to be honest, so I'm now aiming for the £25 Any ideas on good C&Cs to try? I've already spent £51.53 so I'm on track for the bonus if I can just get a couple of small spends in!

My COS for the pasta has already confirmed, so I'm in profit from last night's quick trip to T :j

Hi mooomin

I have bought similar to you but also:

Maplin - £2 glow bath light (done online payment C&C)
Homebase - £1.49 wine glass (matches ones I bought last Xmas on sale) C&C


Good morning all on this special day.
Both have tracked

That's a womble in my book! Sadly the ones I've tried from one of my relatives have never given anything. They just do not buy enough - yet are at A nearly every other day (probably because they fail to buy enough:() doubtless pumping all the money back in and more than I take away. They even managed once to buy an item that was £18:eek: in A but £10 at a rival. I explained to them that, had they simply bought seven different 10p sweets/loose veg. and just paid an extra 70p, they would have got far more back than that extra payment. They agreed that they are overpaying:wall:.

Didn't work. I went back the next time and found a receipt for a load of single Heinz soups, at the time when - even though I would never have bought them - they were nonetheless also at 50p in T. They bought seven different ones and nowt else:wall::wall:, thus losing 5p on each one. They'd even bought duplicates of some of those - how simple would it have been to replace one of them by a different flavour?!?:wall::(

"Top-up" shops are useless - and the stores know it and set the number of items doubtless the way they do. They probably know that many people buy fewer than 8 different items (I say "probably" as I have no information as to how many items are on shops overall). Also useless are weekly shops - people mix in items cheaper and more expensive at different stores. In other words, the way the vast majority of people shop! Need to break down your weekly shop into baskets of 8+ items each targetting a competitor. It's then alright to do 'top-ups', and indeed to shop more often as a result of not doing a single, expensive weekly shop, as each of 8 items or just over and using glitches.

They now think I'm beyond mad and have actually started looking down on me for doing it... which is weird because I can't imagine they had a mortgage at 22. So OH has resorted to a plan of sneaking them out in future. Quite sad actually. I much prefer the people who are interested and amazed by the savings like myself... Even though my own parents much like your OH's parents don't have a clue and wont have a clue and don't care. At least they don't think I'm some sort of tramp for claiming money back.

Coke (and lots of others are still showing as 3 for £3 online and 2 for £3 mysupermarket,
would this compare instore or is it another hd/collection only ?
More importanly anyone instore who could tell us the instore price today,
and also online seems to mysupermarket seems to have the fizzy drinks on diff 2for £3 offers ohhh this is confusing me

7pm in A yesterday....

Diet coke 30pk = £9.00

Diet coke 8 pack = x2 for £5

The 30pk is better price per can, and only comparable with Sainsbobs so I went for that.

We are all tramps and proud of it I find it's easier not to try and explain it. Just do it and let people think you're a doomsday prepper when they visit you :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Good morning all. Beautiful sunrise this morning.

Have a great day all and have a great time in Iceland Emma.

Right I am suitably dosed up on caffeine and must get on with my work.

My morning was made by seeing Donny Osmond on BBC breakfast:smileyhea my goodness that man has worn well! I don't know if he's had a little help? If he has it's been well done *swoon*

My mum is always impressed at the bargains I get, but shows no interest in how I do it.

I was in the supermarket with her once and they had whole chickens yellow stickered to £1, so I grabbed three. She offered to buy me full price ones instead as she's worried about me eating dodgy reduced meat :rotfl:
