Evening luvlies

Spent most of today in S :rotfl:, went home for lunch (we are only 5 mins from our superstore) then went round again. I did put a lot of effort into creating my lists so was well prepared, 3 shops were just pence as used lots of mocs.

I'm well happy though, did a total of 13 shops including 5 £10 fuel fills 2 of which gave me 5,000 points . Also received 4 x 1000 instore and 1 x 500, the rest were for 200. Have already taken clothing back from this morning's shop and will do the same tomorrow.

For those checking out the freezer cabinets the gingerbread ice cream is now scanning at 10p, I bought 7 .

Off to make tea, I'll catch up in a bit

Now that's dedication to the cause!

Why can I stop myself buying them online but see them in the flesh and that's it! :eek:

I still haven't found any! There isn't a SD locally so I am not often near one. After yesterday's flurry, I am keeping a web page open and refreshing it every so often. How sad is that?!

3 x 200 points for me. I will pop back and get 3 more vouchers later this evening before fizz.

Anyone know if you can get wine and beer to make up your £10 (I know spirits will be excluded.)

I wasn't even challenged on the aussie dry being a mini...I used it with a hair dye to be on the safe side so that shop came to £2.33....so I think its just a case of holding your ground....
I suspect you might get some looks or comments if you just tried 2 aussie dry's at 58p each especially if you get a bad assistant but on the whole I've had a few looks .....but as yet I've not been challenged.....£1.50 is the lowest I've gone though on a transaction.

I got loads more poo this afternoon but the aussi mini dry shampoo did not work though the SA tried really hard. I got some premium poo this time and paid a bit but now I shall keep getting the 75p stuff and take it to the food bank.

SA did try to use more than one coupon in a transaction but that didn't work and they have to be one per transaction.

Well that's all the s shopping for me, I did 13 shops in total, 1 x 5000, 1 x 500, 11 x 200, plus 900 bonus points from mycoupons/other offers, so £43 of points which I hope can be doubled at some point

I think you're right LEJC, s obviously make lots of money from it else they wouldn't bother. I don't think I went too crazy, petrol I'd have bought anyway, clothes for dd were needed (though I might have got them in t otherwise). I did spend slightly more on food than usual, but I think I'd have done that this weekend to a certain degree anyway, we have a weekend with suspected chicken pox so some nice food will go down well

Hello all, I'm home
Landed at 7am, busy M25,dropped luggage home, collected Jas and have been asleep ever since lol.
No trips to S done yet, I think it will have to wait until tomorrow. A petrol is usually the cheapest round here, followed by S. If A is 118.7 then S will be 118.9. It helps that they are next door to each other. S is slightly nearer to my house so I'll happily forego the fraction of a penny in return for points
Starving hungry now.

Just out of interest I had a look at the difference between the points awarded at the nectar swipe and win in October 2016 and this one.
The prizes available in October 2016
Available prizes are: 47,000 prizes of 5000 Nectar points, 862,000 prizes of 2000 Nectar points, 766,000 prizes of 1000 Nectar points, 1.7 million prizes of 500 Nectar points and are allocated at random. Each prize is inclusive of 200 gift points.
The prizes available in January 2017
Available prizes are: 48,385 prizes of 5000 Nectar points, 96,771 prizes of 2000 Nectar points, 145,156 prizes of 1000 Nectar points, 290,312 prizes of 500 Nectar points and are allocated at random. Each prize is inclusive of 200 gift points.
So it has been cut back dramatically
