The BBC Good Food Shows have lots and lots of foodie exhibitors, and if you can't win tickets in a comp or anything, then another moneysaving way to pay for tickets would be to redeem your Nectar points. I noticed this fact on the Sainsburys website, I think you can do this from the middle of October.

The Good Food Shows are in London, Birmingham and Glasgow in November, see link below:

And even sooner than that in London, is the Baby Show at Earl's Court from 19th-21st October:

On both these links you can click through to find which companies have signed up for an exhibition stand at the venues. Even if money-off coupons are not in abundance there are often freebies galore to be had at these sorts of events, especially if you go on the last day and they want to clear the last of their giveaways.

HTH, please post more info re these or other events as and when....thanks!

I found out by searching for promotions & samples on Google, that Kiwi shoe care is starting a roadshow at 35 Tesco stores around now, includes a sample and a money-off coupon (or six :cool: )......but I can't find a list of the participating stores anywhere.

This is always the problem with supermarket roadshow promos, only certain promoters put a store list on their website so it's pot luck if you find them in your area. Anyhoo, here's the link and a piccy of what the Kiwi 'smiling feet' stand looks like if your Tesco is involved:

Hi Coupon-mad,

I would like to redeem my nectar points for tickets to the BBC Good Food Show, but cannot seem to find any mention of this on either the Sainsburys or Nectar website. Do you have any additional information, or can you provide a link?

Many thanks!!

Hi UltraCheap,

Well here is the link to the page where I read it (in a little box down on the right):

http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/nectar/good_food_show/good_food_show_07/good_food_show.htm?WT.svl=2&WT.seg_1=nav_secondary


I must admit I can't see how to actually redeem Nectar points for the tickets though, there's no link from there AFAIK. They have even got the date wrong (the box says Saturday 15th Oct, maybe it will be possible in the morning as it's now the 15th?). If it doesn't work when you try on Monday I would give Nectar helpline a ring & ask.

HTH

Sainsburys Nectar Treat Fleet Tour bus is in the South-East at the moment. I think they are giving out a free choccy bar with a chance to win a prize when you check your wrapper:

The link shows a map and you can hover the mouse over your local store to see when it's there (or when you missed it....!). Or put in your postcode for your nearest store info.
