    I finally managed to hand in my 12 wombled receipts: 48 points in total. Usually, I have a cart with my shopping in, and have to go through the normal check-out, with a live cashier, and I only dare hand in four receipts. This time, I had only some salami, and went through the self check-out.

    The lady in charge of the self check-out gave all customers a pot of pasta sauce, free :-)

    When leaving, I grabbed a handful of receipts from the top of the bin: another 36 points in total ready to be added to my loyalty card :T

    APG = Adsa Price Guarantee
    Bit hit and miss. Womble an Adsa receipt with 8 or more different items. Take it home. Put the details into the Adsa price guarantee website, and if the receipt qualifies, you can print off a voucher. Take into store and hand in the voucher and receipt and the amount is deducted from your total. What a faff!! ..but often worth it!

    Receipt scanning, I use Shopitize, Clicksnap and CheckoutSmart. All apps for your smartphone. Clicksnap and Shopitize usually give 1p and entry into a prize draw. They have been known to up this to 5p.
    If there's something on a receipt that's on their list of offers, then you can claim that also. On Shopitize, you also need to scan the product barcode.

    That reminds me, I have a few to scan!

    That's great!
    We have to hand in receipts to customer services in the supermarkets, but in the small Tesco metros, the cashier does it. Sometimes they say they can only take 2 receipts, sometimes they take a few. They seem to make it up as they go along! Good idea to grab a handful at self checkout, they look so tempting lying there, but I feel self conscious because of the supervisor, but I've done it occasionally, and I've also picked up change left by other customers.

    Hi Ollie

    I dont shop there myself because there isnt one near me, but APG is Asda Price Guarantee.

    We scan our reciepts into the Shoptize, Checkoutsmart & Quidco Clicksnap apps.

    I wombled a kiwi from the office fruit basket, and a pear from a left-over business lunch.

    I also wombled three kiwi labels (the little stickers with the brand name on); kindergarten collects them, and gets free balls when they send them somewhere. To the importer, presumably.

    I forgot to mention that on Saturday I picked up 3 sweetners that were unused when I had a coffee on Sat. Which I am using today in my coffee.
