  • :rotfl:NOW I know what MSE wombling is. I'd seen it mentioned before and had wondered. For what it's worth [probably not a lot :rolleyes:] I tend to feel that these are, in effect, money off vouchers and if people want to donate them to others who are prepared to pick them up .... that's their business, surely? Tesco's already GIVEN the points, who ends up with them, courtesy of the original owners "donating" them, is nothing to do with Tesco.

    Just my opinion - I reserve the right to change it!:money:
    If you see me on here - shout at me to get off and go and get something useful done!! :D

    Hurrah, another singing off the same hymn sheet!
    One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.

    No I actually spend less than I ever have on supermarket shopping... with clever combining of points coupons I have paid £12 and come away with 5k in points on one shop (on several occassions)

    I also use mocs to great effect...
    I use money off coupons too, try to on every shop, but you can only get away with so many %, and find them hard to get hold of for free! (no way I'm paying for them on ebay! defeats the object)

    Still can't fathom how you can spend £12 and get 5000 points on ONE shop!!

    with the right SA my store will and has :j taken a £264 bill down to pence...

    Not hard to amass that many points on one shop with a couple of nb nappies, little swimmers trial pack inc 50p moc, 2 packs wet wipes and a nb baby basket (obviously taking the pts coupons out of pack b4 going through till) You just have to know what extra pts coupons scan on 1 pack of nappies and 1 pack of wetwipes ie 200pts pampers, 200 pts huggies, 150 huggies wipes, 150 pampers sensiive wipes and when they are on BOGOF... hey presto
