Best I can see is £35.

I think 32 at mr T (and hence cex reduced to 31 from 35 and I still have 2 from sains points double up yet to be traded that instead I will get refunded to a gift card in Mr S).

Anyone know if you can buy prepay visa using sains gift card to extract 92% of value - or any better route?

My nectar balance is now a much more healthy 200 quid down from over 600 - sadly I have about 60000 points to add on from amex so back to square one.

So when the cashier says "That's £57 please" do I then ask is that before offers as the total before offers isn't on the receipt. Sorry to sound stupid.....

Hand the voucher over with your loyalty card when they ask for it, before the final total shows. I add up the full price of everything as I am going around. Some people make a list beforehand I think.

Is there a quicker way of adding your pics at Waitrose other than scrolling through them all the time please.

I have the app on my mobile- type in the item at the top-after the first 3 letters products then appear, click on the item and follow instructions.
far quicker than on laptop

Well if you went to see the Coca Cola truck down here today with kids they are lucky to get 2 freebies. There is an action group giving out free toothbrushes.

Oh, we have had a party store in my store for a while, still not seen anyone buy anything from it.
