Have been and spoken to lovely people at my local foodbank and donated a few items.
Checked with them about Tesco. Selected tesco's take donations normally behind the tills, they then deliver to the foodbank in the crates you see them use in Home Deliveries, they then weight them together, deducting the weight of the crates. !!!!!! does not top up in food, but in actual money donation to the local foodbank! Money to make the place more appropriate, pay fuel for van, help fund van etc.

This is direct from !!!!!! website:

The total weight of the box and total value of all the items inside are then used to reach the £1.68/kg valuation used. On the day of the collections, stores with Trussell Trust food banks will weigh all the food collected, calculate a total value (at £1.68/kg), of which 20% will be given by Tesco to the Trussell Trust
Reading that, I take it that they donate 20% of £1.68 a kilo, so approx. 33p a kilo.
I went straight to !!!!!! and 7 x 17p bottles pop fell into my shopping and ended up in foodbank collection


They all fell in by themselves. BH paid £1.17 for 7 bottles which go to foodbank anyway and !!!!!! donate £0.33 x 14kg = £4.62 :T

So benefits are:
As well as goods you donate, !!!!!! give them cash
Pop costs 17p each, weight 2kg so donation from !!!!!! of 66p
seperate you shop up into small ones and you have receipts for Shop--priz
Your self esteem will shoot up
So fillers at Sada for sharpies can be bottles of pop too, to take to !!!!!!, that and heavy cheap stuff.

Please don't let Martin advertise this as it will probably ruin it for the foodbanks.

PS As always do not hesitate in finding anything I am missing or have wrong. I must have made a boo boo somewhere, it sounds too good to be true.

ta for this. I had a look at the website of my local and it says "seeded by the trussel trust" so it is an official list.
My local is requesting tinned rice pud and sponge puddings - I cant remember the last time I had sponge pudding out of a tin

My local food bank also supports homeless in the area, they were also asking for tops and size 10 shoes for one homeless chap.

Has anyone gone through the verification process for receipt pig yet?

I have tried this morning but not got anywhere. Its asks for your mobile number and you are then supposed to get a verification code by text but mine has not arrived :mad:
I have no data left on my phone but as its an incoming text it should not affect it should it should it???? - an incoming text ?

I am working on the home wi fi

Otherwise I will have to wait until the 7th. I've sent them a message via their support system although I don't suppose it will make any difference:(.

Toiletries etc are also appreciated, the list need not be stuck to. No fresh stuff. Deo/soap/toothbrushes/toothpaste/shampoo/toilet roll all help. I try to also drop in treats for any kids they have. The juice is a big bonus IMHO.
Last time I had sponge pudding out of tin I broke my can opener :mad: MANY MANY years ago

Incoming texts should not be affected unless they are sneakily trying to make you pay them for it.

I started to try this App, but after a day or two considered it not worth it. I just use CS CoS Spremium and my fav Shop===prize.

Same here, I tried it but I do not tend to have large receipts, it is no good for me when they vary the amount of points according to the value of the receipt. I love shopprize though, easy to split up the shops for more receipts, already have 4 sitting here waiting for tomorrow and should get more then so will hopefully stay ahead of the game
