    All that can be put in there, it seems to me that there was room for a designated forum area for freebies etc, by having it's own area, a shop could have it's own thread (like you have shown me above), but would be in a designated area.

    Just need to work out what to rename the area now .....

      Something that would include:

      Codes/Vouchers (both/online & instore)

      Freebies (might include P&P)

      Bargains (Specific special Offers, Deals, etc.)

      Discount Promotions (such as 15% off at B&Q/Homebase).

      Loyalty card benefits (such as exchanging Tesco Clubcard points at 3x face value for T&M vouchers, or for subscriptions such as RHS membership, or even exchanging for Eden Project admission vouchers.

      And that might not be enough to include tips about how to get paid to take away reduced plants from Waitrose, like these 12 pots of herbs I got paid 12p to remove from their premises, getting £1 back on multisave for every pot bought reduced to 99p

        How about F.O.B ( Freebies Offers and Bargains ) :snork:

        It should cover all of the above.

          EXPIRED (after continuing to deduct 25% through Mon & Tue, now back to full price on Wed)


          EDIT at 14:00 - 25% is still being deducted 14hrs after promotion was supposed to finish.

          EDIT at 08:57 - the 25% off pic (as below) has been removed from T&M's home page but the discount is still coming off in the basket. Unfortunately the 3 for 2 offers have stopped taking the 3rd pkt cost off as that in conjunction with 25% off would have got them down to half price.

          25% off seeds at T&M. This should have expired at midnight yesterday (Sunday) but I've only just noticed it and it's still working.

          The 25% off is automatically deducted so can be used in conjunction with voucher codes. I've just ordered 3 packets of seeds that were £2.99 each and used one of the £5 vouchers sent out with plant plug orders (I got 6 of them because they sent a replacement order of 3 packs), getting the cost down to £3.67 incl P&P (£1.22/pkt).

          The optimum saving using a £5 voucher is £6.67 of seeds, less 25% = £5, less £5 voucher =£0, only £1.95 P&P to pay.


          P.S. I think there was a £5 voucher in T&M's last catalogue sent out a few weeks ago.

            @Webmaster I didn't see the new thread before posting the T&M offer above.

            A few requests, could:

            1) thread prefixes 'Bargain' and 'Reduced' be added to that board?

            2) the Wilko's reductions thread be moved there, preferably as a 'sticky'? http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/wilkos-half-price-sale.42517/

            3) this thread then be locked and links provided to new 'Freebies Offers and Bargains' board?
