Why do you get so much crap when you are shopping?

[Roughquest]

I mean stuff like useless money off vouchers on products you never buy, then you get the 20 questions "Do you have a Boots/Nectar card?" etc etc, does my swede in it does......when you just simply want to take your goods and run lol.....

dont knock the boots card, I saved up 40 quid on it without thinking.

Try going to a pharmacy and buying an over-the counter preparation. You will be subjected to a regime of questioning of which even the Spanish Inquisition would be proud.

Yay, don't knock the Boots card, I did a load of shopping in there today and didn't have to pay for any of it. Nectar points get changed in Argos for Christmas presents. Vouchers from Somerfield paid for 75% of this week's shopping.

Oi!

Us shop workers don't ask you those crap questions because we want to, or that we care about saving you money. We do it because we have to, it's part of our job to do so.

So...think on!

ive had over £300 on my boots card! :)

[JamToday]

I have a tesco card and a booths one, I got a electric toothbrush from all the points I saved up in booths and I also use the vouchers.

They do come in handy sometimes, although it would be better for prices to be lower, rather than being given vouchers.

We clock up loads of points with our Boots cards & usually buy little Christmas gifts with them. The same applies to Sainsbury's - we have many points on our cards, but keep them for Christmas food shopping.

My Granddaughter had a Boots No 7 £5 voucher, which she put towards some nail polish yesterday, it only cost her £1.87 - she was well chuffed!

Hi again BOO - hope you read my message..... ;o}

[boxtops]

Cooe smudge, you're a pretty kitten....

[smudge]

[B00]

Hiya smudge....message?

[Roughquest]

Its just my friend got so flustered today, when she was asked for her loyalty card, she was rummagin through her purse for ages trying to find the right one lol ! She was so stressed lol....then she says why bother...

[askyourgran]

I've got a Nectar card with about 6700 points on it so I'll take a trip to Argos.

[smudge]

Yeah, my post on Mrs O's birthday wishes thread earlier BOO. ;o}

[B00]

Oh yes, sorry smudge, I did- meant to reply, then forgot, lol. And i know you weren't ignoring me (least I hoped I thought I knew!) Good to see you xxx

[4getmenot]

and the vouchers with the products no one buys, someone must buy them for them to keep going back on the shelves

[smurfchops]

I've had loads from Tesco rewards - mainly jewellery from Goldsmiths and Days Out in London.

[smudge]

You're far too nice to be ignored BOO! I was also wondering whether you're a Grandmum yet, as I haven't been about & might have missed some good news....?

[B00]

Nope, not yet- 6 weeks today to go :-)

[smudge]

Ah, a June baby - that'll be nice for you all. Will be a bit warmer by then & you can sit in the garden having cuddles together, whilst little BOO shows he/she her toys! ;o}
