Buy at M, cost £6.50, claim £3.50 from SM, £2 from COS

Net Cost £1

That's a good one - that's the price that this should cost!:T Possibly about how much it costs to make the product. Can I use this on the list? As I failed to identify the CB offers that make this an excellent price. Probably get to putting it onto the list after the offers have ended:rotfl::rotfl: - but, we know about them now anyway.

I know people were getting these in A the last time this offer was on. The Doritos 200g are, of course:D, on 4 for £3 in M. The offer last time was a mix with pop; however this time it's Doritos 200g and Sensations 150g. They are on the same offer in M; however I would not try mix and match in A as this fact is not showing in all Ms. Indeed, from my stores on Monday, I ended up taking them to be in different 4 for £3 offers but a store on Wednesday has put me right. There was a mix and match, as mentioned, with soft drink last time - however when Doritos and Pepsi were mixed, they did not pick up the M mbuy on the APG - unless 4 of each were bought and then, obviously, were just picking up all the Doritos together and the Pepsi together.

Don't be confused though - Pepsi is not in the offer this time. It's Doritos and Sensations. Probably one or the other - or four of each in the shop.

Nonetheless, 75p is not my guide price for these:eek:. Guide price for these would be 50p or preferably somewhat lower - and probably whoopsies on RTC shelf in M are better: they sometimes can be found at 39p or below. So, I seem to undermine my own post again (I often undermine things by telling the full truth including things that are against my own interest:(:doh:) by suggesting that isn't a very good offer at all. However, I should mention it anyway (I am finally getting to mentioning what hasn't expired in M:T, so that's well done to me rather than to them for not expiring something that only started this week:rotfl: - self-congratulation is not usually the way:o but can be encouraged with me, particularly as I also make myself look bad:(:rotfl:). I know people were buying the Doritos offer last time.

ditto - all I've got is the usual swipe 8 times and get 100 points on my account but nothing on OHs ..

nothing to get over excited about on sainsbobs mycoupons either

I did get an excess of Tu till spits today - spend £25 get 8p off fuel, three of these and one spend £15 get 8p fuel

It seems to be completely random what everyone gets or rather does not get ...

I don't bother with them - all I do is spend exact £2.50 amounts (if I can ever find anything worthwhile buying from them:(). They issue me with get £1 off if you spend £10 - always when I have just spent £2.50 in points and am down to £7.50. Would have been nice if I could have had that when I was at £12.50:mad: and had just spent £2.50, so I could then pay £10 in Nectar points outright, put a whole can on the entire thing, on an exact £11 shop and get the £1 off. Not unreasonably from their POV however, they obviously want me to pay them real cash at some point. Well, I'm not having it and it's not going to happen! So, I steadfastly refuse the £1 as it would require me to spend at least £1.50 cash in order to get it (I see no reason for me to make a loss) and I am just sticking to the £2.50/£5.00 spending until it is gone. I get whatever I can get from them for free then, instead of for £1.50 with £1 'off'. I had an email the other day - inviting me to click onto a page and be given 1000 points, so I've done that and, in due course, hopefully I'll be back at £5 again. I've got down to zero at the moment, thanks to spending an exact £5.00 last time. So with any luck I will get that back but I shan't be spending anything to get 3x as many points or whatever, as that's spending cash and is 'worth' pence, that can't be used until you have £2.50 - there's nothing worth getting since the BM ended. I see no reason to spend pounds, including real cash, for a few pence back that can't be spent as they don't make up a £2.50 amount.

Once my points are gone, I'm not bothering with them at all unless they sent me a voucher for a free shop or something. I think a lot is saved by shopping elsewhere!

And it's very unusual - you'd think I really hated them - however it's not as if I have any real gripe at all with them:rotfl::rotfl:. It's just simply I think I will be spending less money by not shopping with them (unless it's simply spending the points I happen to have).

I have found a few wombles from sainbugs in asda carpark lately with nectar points not claimed and have had them put on my card.

You should look for wombles savvy.I found one today with 88 boots points on.I've got 45 days to claim.
