My neighbours 12 year old daughter came round earlier, her dad is single parent farmer with 3 older sons, really old fashioned, and she says can I ask you something but you must promise not to tell dad, :eek: I told her I could not promise. As if it was something her dad should know IWould have to tell all sorts of terrible things where going through my head. But bless her she just wanted me to get her some towels :o she was to embarrassed to ask him and her nan was away, she even brought me some money, which I turned down as being an elite we have stashes of everthing:rotfl:

Oh dear, I mentioned to my DH that the Nivea might be a good comparison (thanks OP) - he works offshore and genuinely uses these products every day. Only £26.72 spent in real money due to APGs and got a £28.24 APG which I will have no problem in rinse and repeating with - not a glitch, just a really good price comparison with Sainsburys x

Not read back, have from about lunchtime to skim read as I have to be out again in just a few mins!!!! Not even sure if i'll get to do that.

Savvy......

From a womble, [3] may already be on your list?
AvM
1 x Rowse Pure & Natural Honey Squeezy (340g) £2.00 £1.50
Looks like it's on offer till first of March so will hopefully stay at this for a while.
Nothing much more to note v any other shop.

Parked furthest away from door that I could in car park and only managed one womble on way in, and one on way out. Far too clean round these parts! :cool::rotfl:
Can't check second one yet but if there's anything to note i'll post it later.

Also another biccie shop done in a smaller 'proper' morries this afternoon and [1] it didn't look like any other customer had bothered with the offer there. [2] I think I may look into doing a coffee morning thing to raise money for a couple of charities.

[1] :rotfl::rotfl:
[2] Good on you!
[3] No, this never makes it to my list, as there is some larger own brand (454g) that are vs £1.45. I don't see any need for wasting money on one vs £1.50 like that:rotfl:!

I wondered if Savvy and others would care to share wombling techniques? I'm not blatant enough to walk around the whole car park so I think of ways to appear like a 'normal' shopper. Trolley parks seem to be the best place to find them so I always park the car in a position whereby I have to walk past a couple of bays. After shopping, and loading the car, I'll deliberately return the trolley to a bay a little bit further away. Even doing all this, I only seem to find 1 or 2 per visit. Has anyone got any better strategy or found an optimum time of day etc? TIA

I am by no means an expert (probably only wombled less than 50 in total ever, with 'success-rate' of about 1-in-3) but...
- be blatant enough to walk round the whole car park (bit of 'tough love':))
- trolley parks give good returns, so when you are choosing a trolley, wherever you park (or arrive if by public transport), start at the trolley park furthest away, look as if you're selecting a trolley, all the while having a sneaky look to see if there's anything promising in the trolleys, and if not, shake your head as if you've decided you don't need a trolley, and move on to the next trolley park; don't be scared of pulling out a few trolleys to get at a particularly juicy-looking receipt
- the area round the shopping basket stacks is good, too, as is inside the baskets themselves
- if there's an onsite cashpoint, that's a good spot too ... often on the floor, so you can if needed employ the old 'step on receipt and bend down as if to tie shoelace' technique
- but by far the best strategy IMHO is to pick the right kind of store, even if it's one you don't normally shop at; target a store in, shall we say, a run-down area (I know because I live in one:)), because the shoppers there can't even be bothered to put their unwanted receipts in a bin, they just chuck them on the floor; my 'go-to' store has receipts in the doorway, in the baskets, just about everywhere - and no one cares about someone picking them up, i.e. me:D

Just to summarise...



Hold the phones:D

Points total as of lunchtime today, when I was already over 100,000 according to website

Did the shop this evening, with 4,970 Points possibly to add, which adds up to ... maybe this?:) (checked on website just now)

Grand total according to website is now at 112,720 (which still doesn't equate to the total Points totals on the receipts - that total is less than 100k).
I haven't tried printing out the new voucher(s) instore yet, obviously.
Oh, and another thing, website says there's £30 of vouchers to print out, instead of £5.

Print them £30 of vouchers quick!:D:rotfl:

Perhaps there's a 'glitch' on the website and it's letting you collect over 100,000 points with no limit at all. Strange if, as you say, the total on the receipts is somewhat less (and you haven't done shops earlier in the month that collected points or had wombles added on manually?). As it was though, it seems at least one person had more than 10 of the same item in one shop that compared the lot and didn't cap at 10 - so, maybe they've let just you collect an unlimited amount of points this month!:D:D:)

Best thing to do is try one of each flavour and reject if not RTC - see AAU's post if any doubt.

Thanks Jelly, you've given me a few things to try!
