I can't remember now Eileen tbh it was that long ago. Perhaps there is that option these days but haven't looked into it for years now All I know is at the time I would submit my shopping list and I would be lucky if 75% of the list would turn up exactly as I had ordered

There is a no substitutions options but then you have to end up going to the store to get what you wanted in the first place

Woo hoo, that's awful! No wonder you don't use it. Safeway is great, "no substitutions" means just that, and it's rare to have missing items: my bi-weekly order came today and the only thing missing was 3 tins of cat food that were out of stock. I tend to over order on the cat food just in case, so no real prob! And occasionally I get an item that I didn't order and wasn't billed for! Got some broccoli a while back, which I hate; tried to give it to my neighbor but he dislikes it too!

The clubcard points are great Fran. We have used them for a holiday on a narrowbaot, cost over £1000, paid for completely in clubcard vouchers. We have had numerous meals out, and days out to theme parks etc, For the last 2 years my car has been serviced for free using the vouchers. I also paid for my son to do one of those 'days out' experiences, he drove a tanker, quad bike etc. They are fantastic. I think some prices in tescos may be more expensive than Asda and vice versa, but anything I might save could ever pay for all the things I have had using the vouchers! If you use them in store they are only worth their face value, but if you use them on deals they are worth 4 times as much! Oh yes, I nearly forgot. For our wedding anniversary this year, the vouchers paid for a de-luxe room at the Warwick Hilton and breakfast and entry to Warwick Castle!!!
