Why has this site gone so slow/boring?

    Sorry, don't mean to be negative but a few years ago I'd log on in an evening and there'd be a good few pages to scroll through for the days activity. Now there's barely anything. Has something happened that I've slept through?

    I'm in the same boat as you but with less posts overall. Few posts but I've thanked a lot. Work, kids and other stuff takes up my time too. I used to be on this part of the site all the time but I'm lucky if I'm on it twice a week now.

    I'm not sure when I stopped visiting so much but giving the responses that you've had here it's not very encouraging.

    I still receive, read and enjoy Martin's weekly email and follow him on Facebook.

    Thanks - and there's another post to add to your tally 😉. I agree completely, and can totally see how some potential posters can feel too intimidated to make posts. Ho hum 🐝.

    A few years ago this was the place to be,all the bargains were posted up any everyone joined in.
    Then HUKD came along and stole the thunder.
    There is another site I 'm on that is sometimes lucky to have one post a day.
    That used to be a hive of activity also.
    I still log on daily and post where I can,but I might as well talk to myself sometimes.
    Its the fickle way of the internet,

  • If you are a bit bored on the Grabbit section why not take a look at what the ELITE are up to? Our little group post in the "It's Gone, but was it any good?" section (there is a link at the top of the Grabbit page..

    We probably post around 10,000 times a week between us and will introduce you to a whole new world of glitching and moneysaving that most people would not believe.

    Take these JF Argon oils that are £9.99 each pretty much everywhere. Up until a couple of weeks ago Asda were paying us £5.50 to take two bottles and an Impulse gift set out of their stores..:D

    And these Pringles, Asda paid me to take them away..:D

    And these 8 packs of Pepsi cost less than 1p per can..:D

    So, if you are a bit bored, come and join us and see what real moneysaving is all about. The group do natter a lot and spend most of their time chatting about baked potatoes, daily life and stuff, but hidden in amongst all the waffle there are some serious bargains to be had..:D
