This was an email from Shopprize in December last year

Congratulations,

You are a power shopper. You can now send as many as 30 receipts from Aldi and Lidl per day to build your coin bank.

Cheers,
The Shopprize team

I think it is because I do quite a few shops in Lidl and Aldi, they are just down the road so I nip in and get what I want on the way past. That said, Lidl is closed for a few weeks so they might get a bit confused. And the 30 seems to apply to all shops, not just Lidl or Aldi.

Wow that's lucky lol

Afternoon all

I think if you have shopprizes then its useful to have a little stockpile of receipts - say 10 or 20 ideally - so that you have enough receipts for midweek when you are trying to have no-spend days and/or you are refusing to leave the house.

I try and snap my receipts in the morning so I don't forget them but also as we approach winter its very difficult to find enough light - like living in a permanent gloom.

Rec pig today had a survey for me on buying pet food snacks (might have been as a result of a Sainsburys receipt from last week) which gave me 30 points - it was a red notification in the bottom left hand corner, the first survey I've ever had from them.
This app also logs out for me I have to log back in every single day - maddening!

Also just snapping the receipts today I noticed my Sainsbobs one had a Hovices loaf on it which is on the GJ list this week

Waitrose - I was hoping to get the Chicago Town Pizza Kitchen with the TMG flash and on offer 2 for £4 but my store does not stock it
I have a £5 John Lewis e voucher to use up as well so that would have been perfect (I think it was from a Groupon offer, buy something get a JL evoucher)

So it will end up being a one and only pizza from Sainsburys

From Waitrose I got though Rocks Organic Blackcurrant Squash which is on offer for £1.94 as a bit of an experiment.
OH was drinking the C0-op cloudy lemonade but it vanished in the summer. He has also tried various dandelion and burdocks and ginger ale from Morrisons, Waitrose and Sainsburys when and if we can find them, carbonated drinks still seem to be very difficult and stock always seems low. A 2 litre bottle might only last him 2 days so I thought we might try something less full of sweeteners, additives and e numbers that might last longer than 2 days.
Its supposed to make up to 6.6 litres so that's the equivalent of about 59p per 2L so it works out cheaper than any of the various bottles that he drinks and hopefully it should last most of a week.

(Otherwise I have to try and persuade him that the Robinsons stockpile needs drinking down)

I also got the Foraging Fox beetroot ketchup for £1.25 COS cashback as I have a few £1 MOCs from the good food show so they only work out at 25p each.
Both COS are close to being ready to withdraw but not quite close enough

When I paid at the till it gave me a till spit for half price conference pears - the posh ones with 4 in a pack for £2.30 :eek: So I left that next to the pears for someone else to enjoy

My Waitrose has free parking - I think all Waitrose do but mine now has a 2 hour limit and its camera controlled so now return visits either.
Its on the edge of a nice little town so it was nice to do the Waitrose shop, drink coffee and then go for a wonder about but now its back to setting alarms on your phone again as a reminder not to over stay ...

Any C0-0p experts around.

I acquired a Co-op till spit on the way out of Waitrose valid until October 9th for 50p off ice cream or lollies.

I've looked at this weeks frozen meal deal and it does not appeal otherwise that would have been perfect - previously I've had co-op till spit MOCs for frozen vegetables and they have worked nicely alongside a meal deal

So otherwise what is the best use for my 50p ice cream MOC?
None of my C0-ops do good enough RTC items so there wont be any inspiration there
