    I was apparently the #2 buyer of Milky Bar Mousse (which is hilarious as they didn't have it in stock for months this year) and our top 3 items were all various sizes of the milk that we buy 😂

    Couldn't get the bonus points, it just kept redirecting me to the log in page ☹

  • My nectar points were stolen earlier this year (apparently Nectar card fraud is widespread these days) so I've got a new card and sadly no round up of the year  :'( I will no longer know if I continue to be top buyer of one very specific type of own brand cat food that my picky cat likes!

    Nectar card fraud 😯 I've never heard of such a thing!

    I'm not sure how I'd feel if I had to get a new card - I've had my account since I started Uni (in 2002 😱!) and there was a Sainsbury's in town that I used to walk to (hadn't learned to drive yet) - it feels like part of my identity!

    Haha. I had to go look as well. I’m the number one buyer of veggie roasts in the area!
    I forgot to say, excellent work on getting a #1 spot 👍👍👍

    That's because the #1 buyer was beating you to it 🤣

    Thanks @debtfreeoneday - had to log in on my laptop as the app on my phone was just stuck in a loop.  Didn't want to miss out on the free points!
