Shop and Scan

The kids at work take the mick out of me for this - so I'll let you guys have the opportunity to do the same!

I have a little scanner, and every time I buy something I scan it. First of all I scan my name on my scanning sheet, then I scan where I've shopped, then I scan how much I've spent before finally scanning the products.

Why do I do this?

Well every week when I transmit the scanned barcodes, I receive a pound. Whippeeedooo I hear you cry - a whole pound! But for very little effort that amounts to £52 a year. I've also started sending in my petrol VAT receipts and I get £2.50 a month for doing that - that's £27 a year (or it would be if I remembered to send them in!)

So that's a minimum potential earning of £79 a year, without much effort. Then of course I receive the occasional questionnaire to complete - usually receive about £2.50 for these, but these are quite time consuming and I don't much like doing them.

By November last year I had about £70 accrued, of which I redeemed £60. you don't get cash, you get vouchers, so I got the following:

£30 Debenhams vouchers - that I gave to my brother for Christmas!!
£20 Next vouchers - with which I bought a gorgeous blue skirt.
£10 Argos voucher - with which I bought the new toilet seat that I was moaning about in a previous post!

So, if you get a voucher from me next Christmas - you'll know how I've earned it!
