    I was THAT girl this morning. In a rush for work, but still made Sainsbugs come and help me scan my 6p off brand match coupon, gosh darn it! The lad was very sweet actually and said, well you might as well have it, its still money. And I thought yes indeed. Now tell that to the self service till having a nervous break down :)

    Also got £2.60 in tips today, which I used £2.50 of to buy my son an enormous icecream from the icecream van. We are talking double cone, flakes, & two kinds of sauce. How he only weighs 3 stone I'll never know...

    Hi Bobarella
    Do the shop people ever say anything about receipts that look grubby and have obviously been picked up off the floor?

    Hurrah! I have finally wombled! And I only had to travel 80miles to be successful. I went to a job two counties over and found a Mr T receipt, paid in cash, left in a basket. Added them at my local today. 11 whole points for me!

    I have never had any comments. But if they are very dirty I would probably not bother unless they are really high value ones.

    Slim pickings lately, only had 1p in Morrisons the other day. On the plus side I was also using a £5 miles and more voucher and also picked up the free kettle chips and volvic juiced from the checkoutsmart app :D

    I bagged a load at the self service till yesterday but most were only for 1 or 2 points. You don't get as many in the self service I find.

    I have finally joined the club,

    picked up a 25 pointer from Sainsberries, and then as I bent down to put my shopping in my rucksack i took a handful of receipts out of the receipt bin between the self checkouts,

    now to go through them tomorrow, this was not my local branch so I don't have to show my face again just in case someone spotted me on CCTV lol

    Sophie -wow to your friends find. Is there any way you could get there without paying the money?

    I could get the bus in to the city centre or walk, however i need my car available in order to visit clients unexpectedly...which is little bit of a pain, as some are very well known for calling up and saying 'can you come see me in an hour?'

    Ive decided that come payday every month I'm going to get £100 changed into £1 and 50ps. rather than just pay £100 outright for a permit. My flatmate can car share with me somedays which cuts the cost in half on those days. I'm also planning on walking on days i definitely can.

    Stringent planning ahead and praying clients don't want me to visit unexpectedly is what is needed.
