    Morning paw sniffers:D

    Another lunchtime trip to T this lunchtime.

    I've taken to randomly scanning new Christmas stock:D

    I'll be buying these today

    Buy 4 and get 60% off. So 4 packs for £1.60

    The best thing is you can eat as many packs as you want and not put on weight as they are so thin:D

    Where did you see the "buy 4" offer please?

    Morning all, on Q have had 4 pdf and 2 20p so far didn't realise there was acomp on at Q. Got some of the andrex loo rolls from B/A T last night, was there right time they were just been put out.
    Looking to see if some1 can help. as I posted about this my sister oh passed away, I'm looking for something to give her as a memorial gift that is meaningful but a bit unique
    friends have got her loads of things, so she has a yankee candle with a personalised pic on, keyring with saying in, her girls bought her some memorial baubles for tree, she has finger prints on necklaces & charms, prints with words of stuff they did. memorial bears from his clothes. pandora charms. loads of pictures printed of him & family pics.
    Help struggling to find a different but meaningful present for xmas, don't usually exchange gifts at xmas as we buy each other kids, but know it is going to be tough for her. TIA

    I don't know what you are after, but have seen similar to these in a local shop and they look rather nice https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/266383776/personalised-pebble-memorial?gpla=1&gao=1&utm_campaign=shopping_uk_en_gb_ChurchyardAngels_sfc_osa&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_custom1=0&utm_content=12462372&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo5ux3O7B3gIVUeh3Ch26igr1EAYYBCABEgKLdfD_BwE

    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Karlie -please can I ask if someone creates a brand new Amazon account will it have the "top up offer" or the "buy a gift card and get an extra £5" offer?
    Or do these not apply to brand new accounts?

    I am just thinking it might be an easier method of funding a new account than trailing to a PayPoint store.
    (And some of us have the capacity for things going very wrong even with step by step instructions :) )

    As for returns - I've only done one with the badly described cushions - such a mither. I don't think I could buy high value items just to return them on a regular basis

    Purchased 96 cans of Barr Lemonade and 48 Pepsi Max Cherry cans for an 'equivalent' spend of around £7 delivered. I did get £10 promo credit though so without it would be a net £17ish delivered.

    Need to create a new Amazon account, sign up to Prime (cancel straightaway to stop auto-renew) and go to your local PayPoint store to add £25 on your Amazon account (make sure you show them the barcode linked to your account - this gives you a free fiver). There should be a banner on the top-up instore option showing the free fiver promo. You'll get an email notification when you've topped up £25 and another email to say the fiver's been added to your Amazon account.

    There are 2 promotions on some Pantry items - first is 20% off selected food/drinks and the other is £10 off wys £40 on selected items.

    Look for items in this list that have the 2 offers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=ref=pntry_wayfind_6_1_f?node=15688244031

    For example:

    Barr Lemonade: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DQQ4NXZ
    Pepsi Max Cherry: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017NVJ7ZW

    Go down about a third of the page on an eligible product and you'll see 'Special offers and product promotions' and the different offers applicable to the product. The 20% off does not work, but this should work in your favour when you contact Amazon (i.e. they'll refund plus hopefully offer a £5-£10 promo credit as a gesture of goodwill).

    There is also a £3 off code on your first Pantry order - the code for this can be seen in the 2 product links above. The £10 off wys £40 offer is also seen here.

    I ordered 4 crates of lemonade and 6 packs of Pepsi. Total cost is £40.36. Pantry delivery is £2.99 + 99p + 99p (3 boxes in total). Amazon deducts £10 (£10 off wys £40), £3 off (when you add code 1st pantry order code), £2.99 off (because you've ordered items that make your first delivery charge free).

    So basket total is now £29.34 but because you added £25 to your account and the free fiver - the basket total should be £0.

    Once items are despatched/delivered - chat/email Amazon to explain the 20% off didn't come off, they'll apologise give an £8ish refund (20% from total spend of £40ish) and, depending on who deals with your enquiry, you may get £5/£10/£15 etc. promo credit on top to apologise for their error. I got £10.

    So for an outlay of £25, you can get the above items delivered, with £8 due to be refunded (as credit) plus extra promo credit (if fortunate). In my case I now have about £18 credit on my account and can spend on something that will pop up on hukd over the next week or two.

    Phew think I covered everything, any questions then ask away...

  • Good morning all!


    Well I got soaked cycling home last night, and then absolutely drenched coming back in this morning. At least the sun is out now and it should be dry for going home later :-).
