    :)

    I've been up the mountain to visit That Sister, she was in bed exhausted :A Her mouth is now full of ulcers :(
    I took her SDs Zoella Bath tea bags & bath milk (RTC £1.99 :D from £12 :eek: ) as she loves a good bath :)

    Then Co-op, Xmas roll wrap now 20p a roll, Malteser reindeer 16p, bag of elves and santa chocs 25p for 85g, party poppers 20p etc etc.

    Only spent £1, asked for receipt and got 50p off potatoes and 50p off crisps, nuts and snacks. :D

    You got 2 MOC till spits? That is even better :)

    Have you used them yet?

    My store still seemed to have some Christmas chocolate stuff last time - might have to go and have another look.

    I went into my other C0-op last night and I got another of the low sugar 2L cloudy lemonades I got last time as OH liked it so much. After blue card discounts it only comes to 59p -it works out cheaper now than getting OHs squash from Morrisons plus at least its another item I can get in a local shop.
    I got a 50p off biscuits like I did a month or so back so I got the 55p custard creams which after blue card discount and the 50p MOC came to a big fat zero :T

    So 59p for 2L cloudy lemonade and a double pack of custard creams - one very happy OH

    I was wondering if you get set MOCs in a circuit - have to think back now as to what I got after the biscuit MOC last time to see if there is a pattern.

    Little treats are always the best and these look far more expensive than they actually are.
    Baths are very soothing when you are feeling low.
    Her mouth must be very painful

    Had a nice little time in Shoes, using giftcard. :D

    Own brand body spray - 75p - and 75 pts for buying deod onto AC

    Own brand toothpaste - 75p - and 75 pts for dental onto AC

    Own brand shampoo and cond - 1.65* - and 100 pts for hair onto AC

    Time Delay rtc £1 - and 200 pts for buying TD onto AC

    So all items free plus double pts, 522 pts in total on 4.69 spend (inc carrier and a pack of menthol tissues to see if the 'cough and cold' pts kicked in, which they didn't.)


    * Strawberry shampoo 75p but matching conditioner has gone up to 90p :eek:

    I've made a note of your list as I think I have the same vouchers - I seem to get the same ones on my app and they also send me paper versions - doubt if I can get points twice ...

    Also doubt if I can find Time Delay RTC but I will still look for it.

    And I've also got a few pounds left on a gift card which I am keen to use up.

    My Boots points balance is at a nice £15 now or thereabouts but I cant think of anything I want to treat myself to yet ...

    We made I to Mr T this morning- took a food bank bag - I thought I'd not got enough but you can always find something to put in the collection ...

    Last year I got the stock cubes when sainsbobs were RTC their own value packs so as I got the Kallo ones that were free on COS I put all of the sainsbobs ones into the collection - very long dated.

    Anyway I went in search of Mr T mags - there was none and I didn't think much of their RTC laundry products either

    I did though get Happy Down which oddly I do like and the Nivea soft - already processed on COS.
    (Yes I know I am not supposed to be buying any more toiletries but with 2 lots of cashback it worked out very cheap and I did put some shampoo into the food bank collection this morning s it balanced up)

    Not used them yet.

    I got two because the guy in front only bought a paper and didn't want a receipt so when she pressed the receipt button for my transaction it produced his receipt as well, at which point she said 'you won't want these' and I said 'I will if there are any coupons' so she gave the coupon to me quite happily and binned the receipt.

    He hadn't swiped a card but his receipt still got a moc, so that means cards and mocs are not necessarily associated. :D

    And if you have a tiny transaction and do it at the kiosk, there's also a better chance of a similar thing occurring again. :D

    I don't think there's a pattern, it's just a lucky dip, I think.
