Mhoc your spot on about Aldi, the Tuscan bake is very nice as is the meatball meal of the same range, as we don't drink wine I find it's more:money: for us to get a ready meal in there., they sell a frozen flat bread, around £1.50 price, the chicken and mango is lovely as a side.

Very true - we also smother the tuscan bake with cheese - it goes nice and crusty - yes you can make a very gourmet meal with £10 in Aldi

Morning all!



I have free Stroopwaffels on CS and COS today :-).


Also the Happy Downs are back at £1.50 on CS. Unfortunately my local T's seems to have stopped selling them.

Is everyone aware of Holland & Barret rewards for life card - you can get one instore and new cards get £3 of points when you sign up.
If you have over 50 points these get converted into physical vouchers - the next mailing is in September.

There is also an app - might be worth adding onto the "Greatest app list" we had running a few months back

When Quidco and Topcashback run their bonus offers again - spend at least £6 get £2.50 back - if you spend £10 on the H&B website you can get free delivery to store so this is very useful (or £20 for home deliveries) - they do some very gorgeous mueslis

When I looked at mine, logged in and under rewards for life tab on the left hand side it says I have £1.75 to spend before 30th September 2018, just add it to the basket. Its worth checking if you have forgotten points or you suspect you might have more than one card with small totals on they will join them all together if you go via the contact page

Thanks for this.
I've got a card already.
Can you spend the points anytime or do you have to wait to be notified?

Afternoon peeps

Forgetful

Its like I always say... apart from us wombling for apgs... even the coupons we use that are very legit... there are always one that doesnt like u to use and go out of their way to stop u using them.

Went to a tesco cafe yesterday with 2 coupons for the free drinks, and she looked at them for ages and questioned where i got them from..blah blah.. then went inside and asked and of cos came back out and made my drinks.
they didnt have the mags so didnt know about the free drink..

another one I dont like is when u print a coupon from an email the company send u ... and the store says to me... its a photocopy, even though its in color..

at least we make an effort to save ourselves some pennies... rather than be the ones that overspend and keep moaning their broke....

Forgetful

Yes, its like you have to have evidence at all times of where you got coupons from - the actual Tesco magazine or a copy of the email on your phone to prove that they are legitimate.
Its such an effort its no wonder most people don't bother

On mine on the rewards for life list on my account it gives my total £1.75 and its expiry date and then you just click a red button and add to the basket so the current ones you can spend right now up until September if doing an online shop.

The current ongoing points I don't think will show until the next statement - - I think you get a choice of spending with an online order (free click and collect for orders over £10 or 95p if under £10) or spending instore.

They seemed to have some RTC stickers in my store last time I went in so maybe another place to keep an eye on

Afternoon all, I've been struggling to get out of the plug hole.

Thanks TM for the heads up on the Coop meal deal, fantastic value this time round. :T

Have visited 3 Coops since yesterday evening looking for the free kids drinks on CoS but no luck in any. Luckily the last store had all of the meal deal items to console me.

And big thanks to zippy for pointing out the Orchard thieves 6 pack is on offer in Waities. already had my receipt processed by Cos this morning. :beer: At 35p a can shame I can't persuade other family members to download the app. They just don't get it, work in progress I think...

Oh and noticed while at Waities the Onken extra creamy is down to £1 and was 85p back on my CoS, so only 15p for 500ml pot. :money:

Got this little lot for £1.40 today. :j
