A question about : Mulitple MoneySaving

Jim Skelton posted this in the free USA flight with Ј24.99 bottle of wine at Sainsbury thread. I loved it so i thought i'd see if anyone else had similar stories of multiple moneysaving.

"It’s a great offer for me as I’m a single traveler and I am not too tied as to when I can take time off. Got the wine for Ј25 (which indecently is drinkable. Not quite as full flavored as a riojo and I’m not totally sure about the screw top!) I’m taking advantage of another offer advertised on this site that is sign up for a first direct bank account and get Ј25 cash. Which means that I end up getting 6 bottles of half decent wine and a return flight to the USA for nothing. How good is that?"

Best answers:

  • OK, I already posted on the insurance board, but does this qualify?
    I used Martin's method and got Ј130 savings on car insurance for a new car with Sainsbury Bank. !They have a new car provision in their policy that is as good as the top-level GAP insurance for the first year. !So I don't have to buy GAP insurance (it isn't worth it for only years two and three) so I saved Ј350 on GAP insurance.
  • Find something in Tesco that is incorrectly priced - quite simple if you keep your eyes pealed. Pay for it using internet vouchers - go to the cs desk to get an overcharged refund, keep product. Then next day take it back for a refund!! All above board and a wonderful way to make money using company policy if you have the nerve!! :-/
  • I had been thinking about getting the Minolta Z1 digital camera for some time and watched as it came down in price in Boots from Ј300 to Ј230 and then Ј200.
    I spent Ј158 on 200 hair shots from the Natural Collection range and with the 100 bonus points per item that meant I had enough to pay for the camera outright!
    The cashier looked rather shocked.
    As I get cashback on my credit card, I saved another pound or two as well.
    Oh, and I did accumulate several 'Ј100 off a holiday' vouchers along the way, although I don't know whether they'll prove useful.
    The hair shots are being distributed between my girlfriend, both sets of our sisters and mums and my female co-workers, making me a very popular man. 8)
    But most importantly, I tipped everyone I know (and readers of the provincial newspaper I work for) off about the Natural Collection offer at an early stage - hopefully saving a few people a few pounds and spreading the MoneySaving gospel!
  • Managed to do just this this week with a [glow=red,2,300]Boots Double Whammy !!!![/glow]
    see https://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/c...num=1090922169
    Obtained a Free Boots Ј10 Electrical Beauty Voucher (min. spend Ј15) by paying for a Ј15 transaction in Boots purely with the [glow=red,2,300]advantage card points[/glow] I accumulated through the [glow=red,2,300]Boots Natural Collection 100 points [/glow]offer.
    Used the voucher to part-pay for a Braun portable hair styler for my partner..... Normal cost Ј15:50....cost with voucher Ј5:50 (and I got advantage points on the Ј5:50).
