    Free Opti (buy in A, £2), free Light & Free Yoghurt (buy in S, £1.50, selected accounts) has appeared on CS this morning. Free milk still showing. Check your accounts as mine and Mrs Anon have different offers.

    All CoS offers have disappeared off my TCB app.

    When you think about it, some of the Cashback offers are a little random. I understand brands encouraging you to try new stuff like Opti or Fruit flakes or build market share, but 4 pints of own brand milk that you would buy anyway seems an odd one (more so as Shopit have 25p back most weeks too and someo organisation is funding it). We are not complaining and are happy to play :).

    Good morning, very dark, grey and wet outside. It's days like these I don't mind going to work.
    I started to paint Dd bedroom yesterday as we are moving in there. The road our house is on has got so busy over the years we have lived there, her room is at the back and lovely and peaceful overlooking the garden.i was hoping for nice new curtains from hb but I've now received my full refund so I'll have to go and buy my own.

    It's awful paying for things:o

    Morning paw sniffers from a dull and breezy Durham:D

    What's happening with Monarch MKS?:o

    I see the milk thing as encouraging footfall and potentially a strong loyal consumer base, if you go to a shop for milk you inevitably end up buying something else. When S stopped stocking their Basics soya milk, my visits there went from frequent (2-3 times p/wk, spending up to £30 grocery) to rare (my last shop there was 29 July and cost £3.50)

    The demise of the BM is also a factor though. I think they may eventually reconsider that.

    The lure of double points means nothing where there is a zero spend.
