MrL must be rattled (not by my thoughts on their scheme, I hasten to add), but they've gone into full MrS mode, and proffered 200 points for a £30 spend over the weekend - presumably to everyone. Bad luck marketing team, I've £5 left of my grocery budget, plus what are those 200 points going to gain? A tomato? A block of lard? a bread roll? They seem to have taken all the shonky bits of everyone else's schemes, and combined them to make their new one. I stand in solidarity on the seriously underwhelmed step with thriftmonster 😉😆
