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 ....

Spend £10 and then take back the item you don't want. Argos say they can't recredit the points and so will have to give you an Argos voucher. That moves the money from a Nectar credit to an Argos voucher, better than nothing.

I actually saw one in store earlier on the sale rack without a reduced price, I would say definitely worth £9.50 so lovely and soft.

thanks for this - I wonder why its only 49p?

I ordered 2 anyway - one as part of a birthday gift, worth a try for this amount

Yes still shows as 10 hours left on mine and OH account. Also still got the free optiwell from SD on both accounts so should be worth a trip.

Havent got the free up n go offer though

Managed to get my other 5 but my store only had 3 coconut and 2 chocolate ones left - I imagine stock levels are low this time of the year.
I keep forgetting to get the optiwell - not even sure if I would like it ...

I also had a look at the Tena liners but I could not see any with a try me free sticker ...

OH was with me and he got 25 of the 3p soft clothes - easily pleased.

I had noticed they were further reduced online but was not sure if they were worth the money so as I was going instore to pick up my orders thought I would see if they had any.

I didn't have time to post before I left.

Worth checking out PoundStretcher:

Smedleys Baked Beans 10p
Dolmio Onion and Garlic 750g 25p
Ragu Pasta Bake 25/29p

Some are short dated or Dec 2016 bbe but should be fine.
