    Nectar- I have 1500 for a £4 spend, I done 3 different shops LL being the first I done 8 transactions resulting in £5.22 spend
    Currys was next £9 ish for 3 transactions
    and lookfantasic several transactions at least £15 spent

    so im confused as to how its worked out as I didn't have a £4 transaction at any shop even if some purchases are add together I cant get £4 its either just under or just over.
    But 1500 is good :) im happy at the mo

    I don't understand it either, I got 2750 points and it says for a £164 transaction:eek::eek: but I think in total I only spent about £18 , so it's a case of seeing what else happens, I thought they would have been all added separately x

    I also only got 15 shopprize this morning :(

    Worse still I got in late yesterday afternoon, managed to get the validation code for updating and then realised the battery was flat, then it complexly left my head and it was only at midnight that I remembered Id not done the days receipts :mad:

    so I've lost 2 days now

    I am using a different strategy now with the receipt hog one, waiting until half way through the week and then snapping all the receipts at once, non food stores firstly if I have then and then the bigger value receipts. It seems like such a long hard slog now to get to a cashout point :D

    Good Morning

    I'm using the same strtegy as you on receipt hog.My shopprize updated correctly.I've lost nothing...£55 so far.Excellent app.

    I'm also uploading between 2 and 8 receipts a day to bigDL.I estimate it will take 12 weeks to get to a £10 voucher and approx 10 weeks on receipt hog to get to a £5 paypal.


    My reasoning is that being I have the receipts I might as well do the bigDL as well.

    I'm also confused with my nectar points according to the click down box i have been given 9250 points for a 2.50 spend!!! I had done a lot of transactions with asos/look fantastic and lakeland....... So that must be the start of the points as i have a rough estimate if all were given 250 points and that is nowhere near yet lol

    Thank you LEJC two boxes winging their way here tomorrow. The code for annual delivery came off too making them £90 :beer:

    Another thought has occurred to me, that I ought to check with OH what atrocities and crimes against humanity are being committed by network rail to the rail infrastruction before I decide to go gallivanting about.

    Friday is not the best day for travelling in Cheshire, if we are going anywhere then we set off very early. By midday our bit of the M6 from anywhere north of Birmingham through Stoke and northwards turns into a car park, traffic piles off onto the surrounding roads and gridlocks, railway signal lines go down, services get cancelled and people go trespassing so our rail system then foillows suit .... :rotfl:

    Wouldn't mind that, but reluctant to pay £48 when there are cheaper wines in Lidl/Aldi.

    I'm not going to sing T's praises on this because in honesty some of the boxes I have received recently have not been good...and I would go as far to say some have been comical in their contents...but give them their due they have refunded well and allowed me to keep the contents I receive...a few bottles have gone down the sink but overall the last boxes have averaged out at £2 a bottle.

    I think if you like the Aldi and Lidl choices at sub and £4 a bottle then at least you know what you are getting and can pick what appeals to you....but there's something about the mysteries that I like....and it does give you the chance to try something that perhaps you wouldnt always pick off the shelf....

    Even given the fact that they havent been great on standard recently each mystery is usually in the region of at least £70 worth of wine per box.

    not for everyone I know but in my mind always worth a punt if you need some reasonable wine delivered.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    I haven't had any yet either, I did a few shops mostly Currys, I'm sure they will all start filtering through soon.
