    You are all doing pretty well - I am only up to £1.60 and can't imagine achieving anything more.

    I have somehow managed to get to 1140 and with one shop to go might get to 1710 though that will be a cupboard full of tomatoes!

    I've not bought products I don't buy normally either.

    Happy enough with the progress overall but it's been a tough one this time.

    Well that's me done this time round.

    1670.

    With my normal spend a total of 2300 points and another £46 off next year's holiday.

    That's £393 altogether which is over 25% of the total. Hopefully more to come too.

    As much as the challenges are sometimes very difficult I really cannot help but be pleased with the overall savings.

  • Ended up on £28.60 this round. Only managed to complete 4 challenges but Food to Go was quite a substantial one and I tend to buy my work lunch from Tesco anyway.

    Hoping for a bit more variety next time though.

    New challenges are out. Runs from Sept 21 to Nov 1.

    The food to go one for me is eye-wateringly expensive!

    But others seem much better overall.

    I'd have to spend £155 for 3140 points on products I buy anyway. Happy with that.

    Same old for me, overstocked the store cupboard on the last ones and get more of the same this time.

    On the food to go I've got £11 / £17 / £27 for 110 / 170 / 350 points.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    My food to go is ridiculous. £75 for 720 points, £91 for 1240 and £103 for 1820.

    For maximum points it's 27 meal deals!

  • My challenges page says I've not been selected this time - the audacity!

    How rude!

    Just cashed in my points and taken another £47 off my holiday. Happy days.

    The biggest single challenge for me this round is 560 points and I think that may be the largest I have ever had !
