    Birmingham of course ;)
  • Has this been brought over from Hukd yet? I've been skimming so may have passed me.

    Grab a copy of the latest mr shoes mag next time you're in and turn to the back cover where the mocs live. There's one for 200 points WYB 2 haircare products (excluding men's, premium products and minis). The mr shoes own label ones are 75p so you're up 50p in points straight away. Doesn't seem to be a limit on how many mags/ toiletries you buy either ;).

    Also, if you have the app, you may just find week 3 of their Enjoy 100 extra points valid until 26/01 :). No minimum purchase needed, don't forget to load to your card. Once only use

    The poster on Hukd states buy their shampoo and conditioner - this link will take you to the products currently 75p but ignore the other products as they have to be shampoo and conditioner as per the moc.

    Thanks for the heads up. Got "some" today, now have a healthy balance on Advantage Card of over 3000 :T

    Went to Lidl just there to see if they had any of that cheap fizz. Sadly just an empty space, but they did have boxes and boxes of a different cava reduced at the entrance. £3.99 a bottle.
    Picked one of those carry box things they have where if you buy 4 bottles of their posh wines, it knocked £4 off. Well it took the £4 off these bottles, making them only £2.99, practically a gift at that price.

    Of course you could go from Birmingham to Edinburgh and be in tune with the promo, but not quite as good a deal :D.

    Thanks TM for the info..ticket booked :)
    Went to T I had already been lucky with the 4p kiddies clothes the other day from a normal sized store, but that same day went to the local extra T and no xmas stuff, so I thought id pop in again. Today on various rails ladies pjs, mens t-shirts and ladies knickers. I firstly got a young sa on the till to price check the clothes I had, he was standing and nearly fell down when 4p for pjs came up...I told him to shhh, and he carried on, the knickers were 3 for 2 which also kicked in but I only had 5 pairs! we paid put it in the car and went back ..this time with a scanner - which is when we found the mens t.shirts , in total another 8 items, I took my scanner back and let the young sa put them thru the till for us.. 32 p ...wow

    DH and I both tried out the shampoo and conditioner in mr shoes I posted about. We got the coconut flavour, cost us £1.50 total spend then we got the 200 points back in points with the moc from the mag plus 100 from the app I added to our cards. Got another couple of mags while I was in there too :D

    I am annoyed with myself now as I got the free baby follow on milk from Mr Shoes this morning for COS and the mags were on the counter :) and I ignored them.
    In theory the shampoo could go into the hand wash bottles???

    Also I am thinking that when I go for my o2 priority lunch on Monday could I use £1 of Boots points to pay for it?
    If so I need to get several mags and shampoo :cool:

    Please does anyone have a pic of the Sainsbobs frogs or at least a barcode please?
    I had a look in Sainsbobs but I could find nothing that resembled a frog or popping candy, no idea what I am looking for really ...

    I noticed on the various clipstrips some things reduced including sensations thai sweet chilli coated peanuts in the soft drinks section next to liptons - 20p
