    I walked up every single aisle in my town centre store and nothing. :(

    I did buy £5 worth of shopping to get my parking back plus bit more as I only paid for hour and they give you two free. :money:

    I thought well at least I might get a conditional spend spit out at the end. Was just handed over my receipt. :eek: Then I realised that even though aau didn't need to remind me this morning to go to Sainsbobs to look for 20p stuff, or even finally use my Higgidy Quiche coupon from last year :o, he did need to remind me to hand over my Nectar Card. :rotfl:

    Was looking forward to getting conditional spend as that curry meal deal looks good 4 curries and 2 sides for £10. :money: Not to be today as I ran out of time parking...

    I used to have that problem in one of my sainsbobs - the need to spend £5 to get free parking. As you only had 2 hours parking squeezing in a sainsbobs shop at the end was a test of nerves. Then I realised I did not need to spend £5 :j
    I get a £5 Sainsbobs gift card instead, very quick and simple, my £1.50 parking is refunded, no problems and I then use this £5 gift card at my usual Sainsburys later in the week
    also on sainsbobs mycoupons I am getting 200 points each week for a £10 spend. Totally by accident as one week I got a £10 gift card instead I realised it is giving me this 200 points bonus even though it was just a gift card I'd bought :T

    so free parking for 2 hours, a £10 gift card to spend as and when and 200 points - winner

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    Dreary wet weather here, no sign of a yellow thing in the sky

    Is anyone else seeing exclamation marks galore on everyone's posts or is it just me? Are you all doing it deliberately and I've missed a post suggesting it?

    Got a chest of drawers to sort out today, make room for the rest of my winter clothes. Plenty of room in the wardrobe as I've done that last week :)

    Happy shopping to those going out, stay dry if possible x


    Edit: this page looks ok but I'm three pages back and every post has an ! For an s
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Pehaps someone who has posted and has !!! in it could try editing and saving like I have with my sig.

    Particularly any comparisons or deals not saying it will correct them but everything being posted now seems ok.

    Ours is a pay and display I only paid for one hour 80p and you get £1.50 back so a profit.

    Not been to Sainsbobs for so long, I have been reading about these mycoupons do I have to sign up online. :o I know it's probably been said before but because I haven't been going I didn't take in the detail. :eek:

    You have got nothing to be sorry about. :o

    I have mentioned it loads of times in the past anyone in Sainsbobs on a Wednesday morning should check for 20p RTCs. Seeing as I had to drop DD3 to work was silly of me not to stop off. ;)

    You can sometimes tell which things it might be because they have a "SALE" SEL previously and usually have 2 reduced prices before going to 20p.

    Only things I saw today were pickled onions and olives on their first "SALE" reduction.

    so Wednesday becomes the most exciting day of the week.

    Firstly check nectar.com and sainsburys mycoupons for the weeks new offers as we suspect Wednesday is new offers day.

    go to Sainsburys to check for 20p, 25p and 50p things - go up and down every section and get your 10k steps in for the day :D

    then to B & Q to see if you can find any bargains
    http://www.diy.com/diy/diamond-club/
    when they changed the cards over the B & Q door welcomer chap insisted I had to have a new plastic one. I registered it and inputted my old paper card version. Last week I had to get some potting compost and gravel and I also get some reduced primroses and my card was scanned at the till.
    Only then did I realise he had given me a diamond version so I am now getting 10% off everything on Wednesdays including reduced items :T
    I ought to be highly insulted that he thought I was a much older haggard and aged crone than I actually am but for 10% off I am not going to complain :rotfl:

    then to Pizza express for a Mr T clubcard £2 pizza special

    Thank you :A

    I'll be honest have not been proper shopping for months. Well I guess I did for Mr TS's party that was a right muggle shop. :o I have been enjoying the summer far too much, time to get back to my hobby and stock up for next summer. :o

    I tend to make any purchases for mypoints on a separate receipt incase of problems.

    about 2 days after your purchase (unless its a weekend) you get an email (usually after 2 in the afternoon) to say your extra points are going on and this happens overnight. I mark the receipts and these sit on my desk until it actually happens.

    when I see they have actually gone on I then go back to mycoupons and see what else there is - you get a choice of about 50 items including a basket item eg triple points for a £60 spend or 200 points for a £10 spend
