    My local Clintons was doing a sale on xmas cards - 99p each and 4 for 3

    Not as good as the 3 for £1 from a couple of years back but still not a bad saving if you have any particular relatives you need to stock up on

    I got some cards that were priced at £6 each...I'm not sure what the most expensive would have been

    I stocked up last year got Mr TS one for his sister that said sister and bf and they split up few weeks ago. :o

    But the granddaughter one was a big saving and one for DD1 and her bf. :cool:

    Last time I properly stocked up the SA asked me if I had considered which relatives would die before I got through the stash?!? :eek:

    Good morning everybody:)

    Oh Braveheart I was just logging on to report the same issue!

    I had 10 u&g's in my self scan shop and then the dreaded 'the customer has not bought the correct product' appeared on the screen:eek:
    I then had to Pay for my shopping and go to cust services. Thankfully a very nice lady just scanned my 10 vouchers and gave me £17.90 in cash.

    I then attempted another shop through normal tills, to use up my last 4 Hipp coupons. Only one was accepted:eek: off I go to cust services again. Different lady this time, she told me it was because they had the same barcode which is why it won't work. I Said they were printed from the online magazine which is why the code was all the same. I didn't proceed to tell her I had already used approx 200 with no previous issues;)
    I said I would just have a refund on the Hipp pouches, but she eventually gave me the £3 cash but said they wouldn't be able to do that again. I thought I won't be buying them again as DDs have enough to last for months and the offer finishes today:rotfl:

    I am so grateful to everybody on this forum for all these fantastic deals that I have been able to partake in this year, and have saved me £100's.

    I hope you all have a wonderful evening celebrating the end of this year, and let's hope for a fantastic 2017 with many glitches/deals/freebies along the way. :beer:


    I had originals of the Hipp from mag but they didn't scan but very nice supervisor just overrode them on till and wrote non-scan on them :)

    Happy New year to everyone!:beer:
    Here's to lots of glitches, top of my list is baby stuff, thanks TS I've just bought a polar bear, a monkey blanket, a kitten soother and a puppy soother all for £9.75!
    I am also hoping for a good loo roll glitch as I'm almost on my last pack. I think 2016 has been my favourite year so far. In February I met three of the nicest people I know and have enjoyed our meet ups throughout the year. :A:A:A
    Then the discovery that we are going to become grandparents just topped it off. I'm sorry I keep going on about it, I'm just so excited.:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j
    Dh bought me an owl box for Christmas hopefully I will soon be reporting that we have a resident.:D
    So have a lovely night everyone and I'll see you all next year
    :beer::beer::beer::beer:

    Thanks Di, I have just order rather a lot from M&S, stocking fillers for the kids next year, enough teddies/hot water bottles and baby stuff for gifts to last a few years....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    when you go to the 4-pack rewards section do you have anything showing at all? There is nowhere for me to enter new codes

    Not that I have any more codes because today's packs weren't promo packs :cry:

    I think I may have just bought my last Carling :eek:

    I wonder how far into 2018 I can get before needing to buy any more lager :think: because 2017 certainly isn't going to be a problem :rotfl: :beer:

    edit: I just noticed an in-app notification dated 21/12 that confirmed 4 pack rewards is closing down today

    Same as Anon, I managed to put 2 codes in last night. I had not bothered to do them since the free 4 pack had vanished from the first rewards thing when signed out, but it was back last night.

    I still have gran one I got before my MIL died in July 1993 and some Nanny ones I stocked up with for my girls to give my mum. :o. Doesn't seem right for me to give to DD1 for Teeny to give me. :eek:

    Ordered a couple of these earlier. You can personalise them with photos, delivery is about 28 days but for 84p you can't complain :).

    Ordered from the same company over 5 years ago and they were great little cosmetic purses then. Went for a larger size this time - use mine for the gym to pop little bits in. Recognises your IP address so can only use the code once (see first post in link). For my second order I had to place order on my phone and turn off the wifi. Thanks to hukd.
