    I don't know if it has been mentioned on here but Mum and I had 75 points when you buy shampoo in Boots and their cheapest one is 75p making it free. Don't try and use another coupon, eg double points as it didn't work for me, I suspect because it doubles the normal points which are not given when you get bonus points like this. I did both our shops on Saturday.

    Yes I've got one - thanks for the reminder :)

    Check your COS for new freebies :)

    I went to the Co-op to get the hippeas and Amstel - I knew my store had restocked the Hippeas but sadly no Amstrel.
    I did though get a coupon till spit, 25p off milk products - annoying when the milk has gone up 10p this week :(
    JUst wondering if the Starbucks latte which is on COS with 70p cashback counts as a milk product :)

    I was en route to Morrisons so I got the Amstrel from there - we don't have a single bottle left in the house now, huge backlog of free beer and free cider at one stage, even around Christmas but all that's left now is 3 Happy Downs and 4 cans of the whisky ginger mix

    Both accounts are now just over twenty and ready to withdraw but I am dithering slightly incase more freebies appear in the next day or two.
    Also just reached the level to get £5 paypal from shoppix so a good start to the week.

    sadly no emails for me and nothing obvious on the accounts.
    I missed the Easter £2.50 bonus as well

    I've been getting odd bits for cashback so even the dormant accounts have some activity on them so I expect that explains why ...

    Thank You tweets.
    Great instructions, but had to play around a bit to find Miscellaneous Options on whatever version I now have. Have put on Extra formatting controls - now to see what happens. :j:j:T:T:j:j:T:T:j:j
