    Did you get a beans etc shop yesterday curl girl and if so was it more than or less than 24 hours before this mornings shop
    tia :)

    No.
    This was my first shop.
    In the main aisle there were 100 point labels on the soup, nothing on the beans.

    I wasn't going to bother until I saw an end isle promo with the big 300 points sign.
    So if signage is still there go to cs who will add the points to your account.

    Looks like it's been pulled. Or reduced.

    Savvy....

    Did a muggle shop in M while there.
    I think the prices are a lot higher than my previous visit.
    I like the bakery though......

    Dropped into Morrison's as had to go to town, as others have reported lots of the signage had been changed to 100 points, soup, custard, rice pudding. still some 300's at dressings, frozen meals and beans. I got 6 small cans along with some other shopping but no extra points on receipt. went to customer services and explained sign and she put the 1800 point on for me. I think the offer has been pulled on the small cans and reduced on others and they just missed this sign. recall the same thing happening when there was a wine offer on couple of years ago.

    Good afternoon all

    As many of you have been talking about fitbits and walking more, I thought I would let you know of an app my son suggested I download yesterday! It's called Sweatcoin and pays you for walking by rewarding you with sweatcoins for every 1000 steps you take by using algorithms on your phone. Looks like it takes a while to get anything decent but worth a look if you are walking about with your phone anyway! I'm on apple so not sure if you can download on android etc..

    HTH

    Mum just got a handwritten envelope from Higgidy.
    Told her to open it - turns out I have won 4 pies worth £3.70 each :T

    Think I entered an online competition in Nov or Dec.

    It will take years of walking to get anything worth while, and the app drains your battery really quickly
