    Don't think you need to be a member, just pays into a PayPal account.

    Evening all.
    Well done Savvy on your big womble :beer:

    Just had the most fantastic day - that is possible in a hospital :)
    My bloods are all perfect and in the words of my Oncologist my “cancer is not going anywhere” :j
    What a turnaround - I dare not be too positive, but I’m celebrating with a cerveza or two :beer: and a tapa :)

    :j:j Brilliant news :j:j

    It is worth getting the app for their other freebies - and if you are referred you get a free jar of Nutella to start you off (referrer gets £4 cashback when they buy items - for example if a product is £4 with 50% off, you get an extra £2).

    My Together 3nergy dual fuel fix runs out in October (I think a few of us joined through Lum0 a while ago?). Has anyone spotted any really good deals with a good tariff/cashback/freebies please? I know different areas are different but if there are any deals to be had, IO have confidence that the Elite will have spotted them!

    I am a member of MSE Cheap Energy Club but always like to see if I can get it cheaper.

    Thanks

    Well, there's still time yet!:D I've got nearly £17 from this one womble - biggest womble I have ever had!:j:j:j Get in!:D

    Vs T
    1x Glenmorangie The Original Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl) £36.00 £26.00:j:T:T




    2x Elastoplast Extra Tough Waterproof Fabric Plasters 12 pack (12pk) £4.40 £2.20

    Still too expensive for some just over half-size packs!:rotfl:Plus some Vanish stain remover that went £7 vs £6 at T and some other items that lost I dare not even bother work it out but a couple of soft drinks got 70p back.

    I am still nowhere near finished checking my receipts. I have the most amount of wombles I have ever had from one day, and found even more than I have got immediately before Christmas in other years. Just from visiting two stores as well - though someone managed to leave me one from a store I didn't visit (result: 10p:(). I was best staying where I was - I've visited five different stores in a day in the past and got fewer receipts from them all combined than I have from yesterday.

    The one for nearly 17 quid came immediately after one for about £8.50 as well:rotfl::T:A. Don't know what I will buy - I don't usually spend £17 in a single shop:eek::rotfl::rotfl:.

    (I should probably just forget about checking whether I can technically get something for a cheaper price elsewhere, even if paying by cash/debit card. Just buy some household item or something at whatever price it is:cool:. Or maybe I should try for 'everything half the price at T' (if I can find enough of any such things these days) and squeeze another £9 out of it, what do you think?)


    You ask what I think?

    :)

    I would go for

    Dried fruit
    Fairy liquid
    Cling film
    Baked beans
    Sugar
    Flour
    Porridge
    Weetabix
    Ketchup
    Mayo

    I hadn't noticed before but there's a Modena Balsamic vinegar at 59p and an own brand Soya sauce for 49p. I haven't noticed them before. Could it be the cheaper prices filtering through:)

    They need to to get those lower prices in store before I spend all my wombles:rotfl:
