  • I'm a bit of a spreadsheet geek and have recorded freebies for the past few years.
    I have updated my sig and allocated no:5

    The wombling is just a small part of what I record,as I also log free items,free film screenings,trials,vouchers and try me frees.

    Grand total for last year was £2367.49
    Just a little down on the previous year by about £50

    Looking forward to this years challenge!
    Good luck everyone.

    That's an incredible amount!

    You do need to register for one however, you don't have to place an order. The only reason for doing this is so that ASDA can ensure there's a limit (10 per month I think)

    NBLondon - They're a great target!
    My other good source is supermarket trolleys abandoned on street corners with a pound still in them... I live about 3-4 minutes walk from a medium-sized Sainsbury and some of my neighbours think that's too far to carry their shopping home so will drag the trolley down the road (clearly the security thing that's supposed to lock the wheels doesn't always engage) and then not have the energy to walk it back. So being a good citizen, I will return it for them ;) In fact, some years back one family just kept the trolley in their front garden until next time. I saw them once - couldn't see any reason the two large teenage sons weren't able to carry the bags.
    I need to think of something new here...
  • updated my total today after a womble in A.
    Only found 1 receipt but it produced £1.24

    Not sure if it is my imagination,or the thread keeps moving and has yet to find a home for the year!

  • Went & had a quick 5 minute look around ASDA again today but nothing - although I did come home to find that I've won a Nintendo Switch game!
