Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread part 2½

Did any of you see the programme Monday I think it was. They were saying that these computer criminals are targeting nectar points now :mad: Ok apparently nectar refund them but still.

I had almost £300 waiting for when you can double them up which isn t very often hence the £300. So I went to Argos today and changed some for £100 worth of vouchers

TrulyMadly

For the second week in a row Sains have got the better of me:o

I think I'll put the rest of my conditional spends in the bin.

I needed a bottle of that Baileys Strawberries and Cream for a friend, so only needed £14 to get to my £30.

So I purchased stuff I don't really need to get cashback to reach £30.

Of course I totally forgot that alcohol doesn't count:o

Now I've got a quick turnaround to get ready for a party. I know I'll be fine when I get there but I really can't be bothered. I just want to sit in the garden with fizz:o

Later peeps:D

Yes there are new mags
Waitrose food July 2018 - stewed plums on the cover
Waitrose drinks summer 2018 - green and white g&t
Waitrose food June 2018 - pink pavolva, might still find this one

you might even find but unlikely
Waitrose health - Spring 2018 - green cut vegetable

I only do tiny shops so I only use 2 mags

We get Times and Telegraps or the Sunday versions as we like the big weekend papers - £1.80 to £2.10 on Sundays or therabouts ...

Once per day per card. I dont think anyone looks at names on the cards or vouchers

Greenjimm - we got the Bottlegreen elderflower presse and the Yeo valley yogurts, both on offer
Shopimmums - Judes ice cream if your store stocks it (1/2 price laughing cow liight spread £1.50 but free ...

Roughly thats about £24 with the free fage ...

and then there is the golden berries ...

Waitrose do very nice cordials for about £2 - adult soft drink, useful if you get sick of drinking plain water

I know I am slow...are the coffees just a freebie or are they added then subtracted so count as part of the £30 spend?

Good morning all, blue sky here again.



Which browser are you playing on? Mine was fine on Edge and Chrome yesterday, don't tend to play on FF because I am signed into a different FB account on there I also play on the app for Windows 10.

I was using IE, but have not been able to figure how to do what they want on Candy Crush.
So I have downloaded Firefox, and that seems to be fine so far.

Thanks for your reply. x

Not spirits but I think you can use them with beers and cider.

Enjoy your party.

I've managed to lose to A this week:o. First a word of warning to those, like me, who don't claim APGs until they shop. I think you have "up to" 3 months (90 days) from the receipt date, once you've checked the receipt, to claim the voucher. Even if "locked in", with a comparison being obtained, within 28 days thus giving you more than 28 days to claim the voucher, they do not last forever. I thought I might have six months until the receipt dropped off the system. Not so - I went back to claim a voucher, from a shop I'd done several months ago, and - unfortunately we can't compare as your shop is over 28 days ago:(. It's okay claiming over 28 days ago, as long as the receipt was checked and gave a comparison, within that time - however it does eventually fall off. I therefore lost a shop, including a set of Curly Wurlys that are now obtained at 20p each and SP items that I could have got as M Savers a few cheaper than what I now got them for. Fortunately it was not a big glitch shop but still - I've lost a little over a quid.

It also seems I've lost what was possibly the biggest APG womble I would have had. I got a glitch but have lost it:(. The receipt originally came back with nearly £11 as it didn't take account of a colleague discount that had been used and compared with M cheaper then 10% off comparable bill of about £80, giving a further £8 towards the near £11. I should have claimed it at the time but, again, I've now gone back later - and it has now come back slashed to £2.38:(. I'd never known a result change once supposedly locked in, although I have people telling me here one of their comparisons had changed. This has now changed on me. I did check the receipt again a few days after I got the glitched result and it was still on nearly £11. I therefore thought it was now safe and I could claim it later, when I went shopping. Not so - a lot more days later and it has corrected:(. However, I'm not sure whether, if I had claimed when it was still £11, that the voucher would still be in date now. Even so I could have bought something else in between. The slight consolation is that one item I was now buying (and have had to use other APGs to make up, with very few wombles giving me more than a few pence so haven't got much to make up big shops after this) has now gone down in price by £1. Still, I've lost about £7.50, as they've been able to change the value of their currency before I claimed it and had my hands on it:o.

It may as well be that a set of 20 Mullers I got recently had not glitched at all and had been obtained at 10 for £3! So difficult:(, and like drawing teeth trying to save money - you only have to buy a single wrong item and lose all the 10p 10% saved on another item you bought that you may as well now not have bothered with.
