Octopus Monday Scratchcards

t0rt0ise

I've won two coffees which I refused and a sausage roll. I accepted the sausage roll thinking I might pass a Greggs, then realised that my Octopus account is on my iPad which doesn't leave home so it's a no go anyway. I would really rather they stop all their weird things including the various freebies and the wheel spin and just reduce prices.

So not a fan of the spin thing or the 'treats'. Other Energy Utility Companies offer free electricity at the weekend. Even Scottish Power does this (and SP has a really not good ustomer service vibe):

How ScottishPower Discounts Work

• Default Weekend Discount: If you do not choose custom times, you automatically get half-price (50% off) electricity between 12pm and 4pm every Saturday and Sunday. [1]

Dont forget your free unhealthy snacks and coffee shaped offerings.

Thank you for the reminder, that's a free Lidl cake for me today 🙂

Lidl for me , I don't use them they're 15 miles away, at least Greggs are "only" 8 miles round trip. Pointless for me but hey at least we have a Railway station and a twice hourly bus.

I don't have a local Lidl, so scratch that one!

Last week it was a pack of sweets. This week it was a pack of sweets. I'd much prefer a hot drink. Especially in this weather.

Here's an interesting one for you. Last week on the freebie I got a Lidl Sweet treat - we were going to be away right over the weekend though - the point where I might usually venture to Lidl, so I initially thought that I wouldn't claim it - until I saw that it had a 14 day expiry on it, I was a bit surprised but pleased enough, claimed it and activated in my app. Fast forward to this week, and another Lidl Sweet treat - claimed it and headed to the app thinking that I needed to check if I could activate both at once, and the earlier one had disappeared.

It was too conscious a thought process around what I had seen re the expiry to have been just that I was mistaken, so I can only assume that Octopus said "14 days" without realising that Lidl's offers in the app are always 7 days to claim. The one this week was definitely 7 days from the outset.
