morning all

looking at SSC on FB this morning i noticed the posting about the free selection boxes. I got mine yesterday and they are all tracking

But looking at the photo though the selection boxes looks completly different contents to my boxes, better content

please can i ask what barcode people have on their boxes and what it said on the receipt? Mine just said Chocolate

I know sometimes the packaging is different for instance the jam sugar looked slightly different but these are different altogether

Morning all, I did 3 transactions and so far got 750 points so that could be it, not sure how to see my statement as I use the app. Car windows are frozen but luckily my cars between 2 houses so ok, stay safe all those with bad weather xxx

On my nectar account I have the following...
17 Nov 2016
BONUS! You earned 4,000 Pts at Sainsbury's
17 Nov 2016
You redeemed 8,000 Pts at Sainsbury's

But my balance is the same, is the 4000 points just something to do with the £20 double up voucher I got, as if it isnt, then my balance has not gone up.

Edit: ignore, woke up a bit now, and it is.

not the best photos as the strip lighting in my loft if very bright,but white snowy dots all over packets.:)

Thanks! I'll be leaving the house for the first time in days today so I'll pop by the pound shop to see what they have on offer! Do you reckon I could put shortbread in them, or would a box of some description be better?

also I was contemplating last week - ish about the Reese pieces on Q clicksnappy - £2.50 in Sainsbobs and £2 cashback snd you can buy 2. From the pictures they look like m & m s so i was thinking that they might make interesting cookies but i could not find a suitable recipe with uk measurements - maybe another idea?

As I understand it, Reece's pieces are like M&Ms but they contain peanut butter instead of chocolate. Unfortunately none of my family eat peanuts, let alone peanut butter, but I'm sure that would be a good and cheap idea for a lot of other festive bakers

Hoping to get a couple of advent calendars, some selection boxes, the cellophane bags and some birthday cards, plus some boring groceries. I'm expecting a 50% success rate, going by previous experience, so do I want the chocolate or the milk and bread? :think::cool::D

If you are expecting a 50% success rate add on a few things that you don't really want and hope that the success is with the things that you do want

Mine from T had the same design as on the CS picture. Did you pick up the Freddo box? Receipt says Chocolate anyway so should go through .
