Nearly free I think from Sainsbobs - Greenjim - isn't there a MOC as well somewhere does anyone have a link???

If anyone does get A2 please can I ask is it longer life milk like Cravendale?

I've only ever seen the A2 fresh milk. 50p back from Greenjinn for me -- I'd not spotted that so will spend my moc there. Thanks for the heads up, mhoc.

You could try this -- it says you get a moc when signing up to the newsletter. Don't know if that was how I got mine: https://www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.co.uk/free-stuff/free-bottle-of-a2-milk

I also found a website suggesting that the December S and T mags had a moc but I didn't spot it.

Just checked mine as it was not there this morning but it has just arrived - 330ml - isn't that the one from the chilled cabinet rather than the long life tetra carton version?

It also says WHSmith is a stockists so you could get your free o2 walkers Sunbites as well there at the same time - (and then do your RAK (random act of kindness and give them to a homeless chap)
Get 2 receipts so you have 2 receipts for shopprize and 2 for receipt pig - do you get a go on the slot machine for WHSmith receipts?

I'm not sure U&G counts as a RAK :eek: -- I only put it in the foodbank because T tops up what is in there. But I really didn't like it!

Advice please.

I am going through ebay to the Argos shop and I have something sitting in the basket ready to check out which is £3.99.

I've clicked for collect in store and its one of those items that is ready for collection right now.

I've also got £40 which I converted from nectar before Christmas (failed attempt to buy something, very long tedious story involving 50p)

but it wont let me check out using my nectar £40 credit as it says I have to have at least £10 - very annoying. Needless to say I am trying not to spend £10 on needless things only £3.99 ...

Is there an obvious answer to this conundrum I am missing ....

Can you buy a gift card or something?

Afternoon peeps.

I was told you have to be a Clintons member to get the free one yesterday!
So I asked if I could join.
They needed my name and phone number.
Is this correct?

My 4 cards should have been £8, £8, £6 And £5.
But after joining the " club " cost £2.97. :money:

Just treated myself to the 48 pc mixed box of Ferrero in T £5 instead of £12.

I've been to M to have a look at the 600g peanuts. I found a completely empty shelf but £2.50 SELs for Dry Roasted and for Salted. KP Dry Roasted and Original 450g are £1, it seems from SELs, but that's no good as we want 600g! I found M Dry Roasted 600g in the next store - no SEL but they scanned at £2.50:(. Salted Peanuts are indeed available in A - they were found on the shelf of a third store, intriguingly with no SEL, but unfortunately they too are £2.50:(. I wonder whether the lack of SELs mean there is going to be a price change or they simply have probably had them out as Christmas stock in another place in the store. They've now put them back onto the nuts shelf but don't yet have a SEL maybe. I have now got Shell on Brazils 300g at £1(:eek:) - another type of nut I don't think I had until today:rotfl:.

The 5 pack Creme Eggs have also appeared at my nearest store but they now scan at £2:(. So they are now almost immediately off! They were also at another of my nearby stores now. I was going around lots of stores last week and didn't see them at all, until I visited a store in St. Helens where I was told they already were. Typical that, now they appear to be generally available and probably now in nearly every store, they have gone up to £2! A similar situation happened some weeks back with one of the Jacob's caddies. Someone found those, before the season began, at 50p in their store. I had no trace of them anywhere and, when I did find them, a few days later, they were then £1.50:mad:. That was the point at which they then appeared at every store for me. The individual creme eggs have also appeared at my nearest store and it appears they are no longer 25p but are now 60p and 2 for £1!

The 5 pack are now £2 'when they're gone, they're gone' (figures!). I am sure they will never be gone between now and right up to Easter but will continue at infernal high prices from now on in! As the Easter season is clearly now here, it's now time to turn to Christmas until after Easter is itself over:money:.

There have been some changes again. The M Chocolate Yule Log (260g) has now gone down to £1 (BB a week or so away so maybe better to hold off a little bit yet?) and the M Iced Mince Pies 6 are now it seems at 50p. (:eek:I think Kipling Mince Pies - currently apparently at £1 - ended up at 25p last year.)

I now have M Quirky Quote Christmas Cards 30 pack at 25p. I found some 16 pack other M Christmas cards at that price last time, so the Quirky Quote 30 pack are now, per christmas card, a better price unless the other ones have gone down further.

The individual oranges are now showing me 27p. Not particularly good - I managed to get a big pack of whoopsied oranges at 35p last week. I was going to let people know as sometimes they buy individual oranges as fillers - they aren't online for M. However, it appears A don't have any single oranges online either, so they are no good!

I've got some Coke Zero 4x330ml at £1 in M. No good as 24 pack were 24p in T at one stage if you paid for at least 9 other items:rotfl:. The Dairylea Dunkers 4 pack are back at £1 in M (£1 in A:() but I don't know for sure that they were that price yesterday. And the Parazone Original bleach twin pack (2x750ml) at £1, which has possibly been continuously around lots of stores that I haven't visited for the last several months, has now suddenly made an appearance at one of my nearby stores - so that is now back or had never gone from M.
