Remember you're a womble - 2016

Can someone at MSE or anyone explain why Wombling is not defrauding the retailer please?

I am sure a more experienced user will come along and provide some more insight but from a perspective of someone who deals with margins of profit, it's actually quite a simple explanation:

A retailer will account for any promotions, sales or cash back when deciding their price points.
If said sale, promotion or cash back does not get utilised, the surplus will just serve to bolster profits for retailer.

Just my 2p.

When I am shopping at a supermarket where I do not have a loyalty card, I offer my points to the shopper behind me who has a card. Am I defrauding the supermarket? No.

If the shopper does not want their points, they leave them where they can be found by others, or they would put their receipts in the bin or take them home with them.

The supermarket takes our data and makes reports on the information they collect. In return they give us a penny per pound we spend. Hardly grand larceny is it?
Fraud? Don't be so silly.:rotfl:

I have a question: my parents think that we are being wise with our money, are making the right decisions, and they have given us a monetary gift. Does that count as a womble?

Allrighty, here goes, then: wombled from parents €1.000!! (GBP 768)

Nice one Siebrie. That's great.

Just back from Mr T3sc0, wombled a 53 point and a 32 point receipt. Then looked through my emails and have a £5 amazon voucher from the football survey, a £5 amazon voucher from Leicester Council for a survey I filled out about something or other, and another one from them for the survey I filled out pretending to be Mr F0xh0les about his attitude to sport. £15 Amazon vouchers for filling out 3 surveys I know nothing about.

And DS2's parents' evening was not too bad, if you don't count him being dizzy and silly in class, and lacking focus, which would not be so bad if he were not very clever. He is VERY clever, but sloppy and messy with his work.

I will have to start him on handwriting practise and neatness classes.

Wish me luck.

Whoo hoo! Lucky, lucky thing!! The only thing I womble from the parentals are Saga magazines :rotfl:

DH came home with a packet of jumbo sized cable ties - RRP £2.50 - so I'll claim 50p and another 8 eggs off my 5 chickens (still wondering how that's even possible?), so 80p there.
