That's why I'm getting an electric car, cariadon, so that I won't be out of pocket once it is delivered. The problem of that is not the job, it's having the wrong car.

so why did you buy you current car if it wasn't economical, was it because the salesman told you it was a cheap car to run,

Well, we appear to have £6 of vouchers according to OH, so we may struggle to get a channel tunnel crossing!

And one expires in May, so we will need to be fairly quick.

Are they not sent out every 3 months? If so we have time to wait till the next one arrives, though I doubt we will get to £10 in total.

However, We just exchanged all our Barclaycard points so now have £65 of M&S vouchers to use, plus another £40 from a Christmas present. Then we have £285 of JL/Waitrose ones, so that is the shopping taken care of for a good while!

And a gift of £30 of garden centre ones we have had since last August.

I think a lot of high living will be needed to use them all up.

Crikey, I had a fiver off a M&S £35 food shop this week, but as OH says that's probably £10 on already. 

The only thing I like using is a stamp on a reward card for coffee shops, I love getting a free coffee although I know I've paid for it!  wink

Just checked I've £41 worth of Tesco vouchers surprised think we might have to take the tunnel come May if OH ok to travel.

Anyone used them for the tunnel? how easy/hard is it to do and if done what happens if we have to amend the travel date.

I've just sold my M&S vouchers on eBay.

I must live a sheltered life, it would never had crossed my mind to sell them on e-bay! I have just had a look and people are even selling the £5 off vouchers you get at the till. You learn something everyday.

Malcolm's ability to change tack and twist things to suit his current point of view or situation never ceases to amaze me.

With such skills Malcolm, you should go into politics!

cry no points or vouchers although I may have a few nectar points, don't shop in the big supermarkets often enough and Aldi don't do vouchers. Favourite stall on our farmers market does give me a small discount.smile as a regular shopper undecided

You could say " I'am pointless" laughinglaughing

I didn't get full value - about 60% after fees and postage - but the cash in my pocket is more use than vouchers I'll never use.

Yes, I totally forgot we have one of those as well, we bought the dine in last week.  We only buy the special offers and BOGOFs etc when we shop in Marks and Waitrose, and the quality is pretty good so overall we  feel we get a reasonably good deal.

We have a £5 off £30 one for Lidl too, came today, unfortunately we just did the shopping there yesterday!

The Barclaycard points are only worth about one third of what they were originally unfortunately.

Don't think I would have an issue with spending it in M&S, well Margaret wouldn't!!! I could always restock my wine rack.
