Posted on 18/01/2018 08:49 by SteveLWe find we save more by varying the supermarket we shop at. This not only provides a bit of variety. It stimulates the supermarkets automated systems to send you money of vouchers, to try and get your custom back. These always seem to save us considerably more than any loyalty points we get.
Loyalty to a particular brand, is rarely rewarded and is generally pointless.☹️

We too shop around to get the best deals but we do so with our Tesco credit card which clocks up the points. We don't oftern shop in the store these days but every now and again I like to go for a look, the points I have now have been accumulated over the last 2 years so some are soon going to run out of date. There isn't much up our neck of the woods to spend them on so try to use them when away with the MH. Weather not on our side at the moment though

About 7 years ago we bought a kettle from Argos. It was their basic model, cost about £12. I never buy the extra 3 years insurance but MrsWN bought this one and did buy it. 1 month before the end of the 3 years the kettle stopped working. Argos replaced it so I bought the 3 years insurance. I just knew the kettle would spite me by not breaking down in time! Still working.
I like that about Argos, they don't seem to quibble.

I've got one Malc but never use it, just got the account for the 3% interest rate for 2 years so nothing pointless in that to be honest I can never find anything to spend my points on these days, used to like it when they did the double up deals. We tended to buy lots of stuff for the Gkids then.
