Simple living in the country - back to basics

And I had an email from the co-op announcing they're not doing rewards anymore, but also telling me that I apparently have £16.93 worth of points to spend! I used to live very close to a co-op, but now rarely go in at all, so that's a nice addition! Will make a note to stock up on something next time I'm close by 😊

That's weird.  I've just had one saying they are increasing from 1p in the £ to 2p.  I wonder if they are splitting back into regions again.

I saw that on the co-op - I can't imagine there won't be a kerfuffle about them stopping doing the rewards, not least as the email talking about al the things they are going to do instead mostly seems to focus on the things they do already! 

Sounds like a great plan on your interview prep, and definitely a good idea to be able to talk with a degree of assurance about things they have done, or do!

Hmm, how odd! Looks like EH has seen the same as me (and is definitely not in the same region!) - will keep an eye out for further info. 

At any rate, I still have £16.93 to spend! 😊

There are several different co op schemes depending on shop location, I am registered for my local  co op which does issue a 'divi' but other bits of the county (and the next village) are part of a different co op which doesn't have payments which I had accidentally registered for for a bit till I complained about no vouchers. The App that has previously been mentioned with money off vouchers doesn't work for me locally but my honeycomb patterned card gets me reasonably priced milk/eggs/cream/salad

We have one card for the coop in our town and another for the coop near my office - no email's from either of them yet...

My apologies if I was preaching to the converted with on line scraappies but not everyone knows about them.

Please don't apologise, you're absolutely right of course, and it's always good to have people share things that might be useful 😊 All kinds of people read these diaries, and even though on this occasion I was aware, there are plenty of other times I'm not, and plenty of other people who aren't! Sorry if I appeared a bit 'short' - I really didn't mean to 😊

Not actually done anything on today's list yet 🙄 But I did have a really productive day at work! Also made tea with a portion leftover for lunch tomorrow, and downloaded Ziffit again and identified 8 books to declutter, with a combine value of £5.02. Not exactly a fortune, but since most of them were from charity shops originally anyway and have sat here gathering dust for years, not a bad return 😊 Will check a few more over the coming days and see how we get on. 

Did a couple if 1P surveys, and a Prolific one for £3.50 at lunchtime - up to £4.75 cleared there now.

Right, must go and start this ebay return if nothing else.

Cheery_Daff

Ah, that was quick - seller doesn't accept returns 🙄 Hadn't realised that, and no idea if it said that in the original listing, but hey ho 🙄 Looks like I'm either selling them on myself, or losing enough weight off my calves that they actually do up 🙄😂😂

rtandon27

Oh - that's pants about the no returns! - Might as well sell them on & look for another pair

I just clicked on a link from c00p for this week's specials & the landing page said no more 2p rewards starting on the 24th of this month.  As I only have a whopping 1.37, I might as well spend that getting milk for work tomorrow on my way in!

You weren't short at all
