Confetti
After finding no confetti yesterday in a couple of smalller stores, suggested to OH that we travel 50 miles to a nice little village pub for Sunday lunch(100 miles, running diesel car on "Chip pan oil" doesnt cost much....smells quite nice, but doesnt cost much).....and in doing so passing through a village where i have never seen any evidence of other PTSers or MSEers using this store, and had some excellent RandRs and clothes return deals, and managed to acquire thousands of coupons(although none today)...........Sure enough there was a box of the red hearts....so excited was i though...that when i got to the till i realsed i had left my MOCs in the car...so £12 got me 912 points.....very expensive by my usual standards, but beggars cant be choosers all the time....On way back decided to call into a store where i am banned from , but have had great success recently, even though i know lots of couponers use this venue......As expected NO confetti in Wedding Aisle....was just about to leave when noticed "reductions section"....wow...32 packets....How could i do this and maximise Mocs....especially as everytime i try to hand in more than one...i get jumped in.......Decided to use all 32 on SS tills.....Put them through, some two at a time, using £1 moc, and some 3 at a time using £2x£1 mocs.......on every coupon the till asked for authorisation, and every time the wonderful young SS girl simply smiled and authorised it....In the end i got 44 packets of confetti for £22(12 for £12 included).........50p each not bad...now the downside MAYBE..... did them one after another, only used two different Clubcards, and used mocs on every transcation......So i dont know whether the radar will pick me up on this....but thinking about it,,,,did much worse with the nappies......

3298 points (@£132 in deals) for £22 and a few mocs.....

Now whats this about other stuff at 50p.......

Addendum...very late edit (25th May)and thanks to Nicoop for the querying pm...The hearts I got above were PINK....not Red....i must have been colourblind that day.....(didnt realise there was a bright red pack)...

Saw this re the confetti but I get swallowed in the Boots thread that I forgot about it.
Can I ask where you are getting the MOC from?
Are they printable ones or mailed out?

I buy confetti for crafting so have a few packs already but not really got into bulk buying for points so would appreciate some info for amax benefit/min spends.

TIA

Ive still got lots and lots of Huggies that i manged to swap or steal, but ive found away round the limit on internet coupons by using multiple laptops/PC's and virtual computers to get multi copies of everything.....deleting the virtual computer after its done its job, and creating another from the original again.....

Found two Asdas recently that dont appear to have any policy....On Wednesday(i think it was)...I managed to put over £40 worth of Mocs(going out of date that day) through the SS tills with the young SA standing 3 feet away from me,(she could see what i was doing)... and the till never asked for authorisation once....Just waiting for them to get the Wii Fit back in, to see if i can get it almost free.

well done LH, i managed the wii dance mat and game approx 40 quid, only thing i've lost so far is a few pounds.....................but they were the ones coming out my pocket whilst looking like an idiot trying to impress the kids :rotfl:

I saw the sign which said 50 points on selected stationery products - said see SEL, but I couldn't see which ones it applied to. Anyone got a list?
Thanks

Well done ss......i'm not sure they'll let me take the case to the SS till though, and these Asdas surpass anything ive come accross in Tescos.......apart from RandR and my C* that was.......
