Anyone discovered a way to generate spend in S to get more N3ctsr vouchers please? Car is already near full with petrol.
Just got 500 and 1000 on 2 transactions (plus 200 bonus on £10 spend and had 200 on the S website too.
I see there are also another 250 bonus points on next visit to S petrol on the N3ctar app if you opt in.

You mean other than buying/returning things like the guy who was complaining on FB to Sainsbury's because their staff didn't like him doing exactly that? :rotfl:
I'm sure people will buy to return laterbut the same day? :eek: And multiple times? :rotfl:

Amazingly mr TM agreed to be my accomplice today.:j
He put a tenner in first and went to pay and got 200points. We didn't need to move the car ......and he then put another £10 in and I went in to pay and got 500points. Then we went and had a Costa and popped into S.
My £10 cat food shop yielded ( hey get me:D) the nice 5000points:T
I then went and bought the Orange sticks.....I use "bought" in the loosest sense as they were free and bought yoghurt S and milk for the week and got 1000 points.
We then went back to the pfs and mr TM got 1000points for a £10 fill and once again I went in to pay for the second £10 fill. I knew he'd gone to the cashier on the right so I thought I would try the one on the left as I guessed you wouldn't get 2 x1000 points consecutively. I got 200 and the guy who used the till immediately after mr TM got another 1000:eek:

I didn't do the cheese glitch, because no-one here at my home eats it very much and we just would not use it - believe me, we know that from past experience! Someone on a womble was kind enough to get me two packs the other week though, so I did benefit from it:T.
This is what I mean, when I mentioned the Sponge Mix but having to buy an egg to make the sponge as well - no-one here really eats eggs either - they only have them if we also have bacon:huh: and, we've not been getting any bacon lately, so we were just throwing away half a pack of 6 eggs because they just were not using them:(. After about two or three occasions of having to chuck them out, I am just not buying eggs at all now.
We're also the only people on the planet that don't go much for pizza and, besides our freezer being full at the moment - I also now add onto that and blame Lidl for having 'cheaper' bread the other day but with a sooner BB date - I have managed somehow to get a full loaf into the freezer (already a day or two beyond BB so it really could not last much longer outside) and, although other stuff was balancing against the door, somehow managed to get the door shut - even if stuff falls out when the door is opened, the freezer is full and I've managed to get everything into it! The door keeps shut by itself.
So I wasn't buying the meal deal either - it is excellent priced (as long as you don't pay for all items at full price as some online shops seem to do) but, again, we just wouldn't use anything, apart from the ice cream.
I just went to pick someone up and called at the nearby small A - I was thinking of not even bothering - I called at another small A on the way and nothing available at all there - and sometimes you don't have time, you can't literally stop off at every A on the way every time - but I did decide to stop, for two minutes and literally two streets away from them. So I wasn't going to get the meal deal. However, :Dsomeone has now bought one on this womble. And, they've even bought enough items!:T
They did try their best to reduce the voucher though, by their buying Pepsi 2L at £1:( and those £1 chocolates again - and they succeeded in reducing on the Galaxy Ripple:(. Their other items added 30p but they lost about 65p on the Galaxy so, in the end, they reduced the meal deal difference by about 35p.
I didn't like those Mr A squashes as I thought it might be some of those on offer in A that compare unfavourably against M, although I was not as unhappy when I saw they had bought a couple of different ones (42p ones and 2 for £2.50:p) and looked like they were getting enough items to at least have a meal deal. comp although I wondered how much they had reduced it by. It turns out to be by not too badly. The SP squashes compare against T with 2 at 84p vs 84p, so they are on the wrong shop:p!
So, having had a good Cathedral comp. earlier (and also a bad one - they bought only one pack!), I now benefit from the meal deal as well:D:rotfl:. It was worth stopping off for a couple of minutes to get just this single receipt.

It's like the other day - I stopped off at one superstore and they had lots of receipts all over the place. I thought my luck was in. I then stopped off at the other A superstore on the way back and just ended up with a couple:(. It turned out none of the many receipts at all from that store that had them all gave anything, whilst one of the two from the other gave £4.60! I should just have gone to the one store that only had two receipts (that frown turned into:T:T) and not bothered going to the other store at all!:rotfl:
