Save Money with the IKEA FAMILY CARD

I'm just back from Ikea and came across the Ikea Family Card. I have spotted it in the past but never really looked into it in great detail.
However I had a good look tonight and it seems to be a good deal.
I spotted a suit case that was £49.00 to the general public and £34.00 for Ikea Family Members - so a decent deal.

Here's the highlights:

25% of all IKEA Family items and up to 25% of selected products across the store
You get a quarterly statement along with money off vouchers - the more you shop, the more vouchers you get!
Email Offers
Offers on certain foods in the cafe
Free tea and coffee through the week!!
Quarterly Magazine
Home furnishing advisers on hand to help

All in all, not sure how the vouchers accumulate - but if you're looking for a cup of tea when you're out and about - this card will give you a free one!!!

Happy shopping

Travel by train? - Save money eating at the station!

Hi there, I was browsing and came across this link.

Do you travel by train? - If you do, you can get 20% off Food and Drink at Railway Stations throughout the UK -get the BITE Card.

Have a look at the website, to check if your local station is featured. Looking at the list and there seems to be a really wide range of stations listed.

20% off, every time you eat at the station isn't bad!

Good progress to being a Canny Squirrel!!

Canny Tip Number 3

I previously had a Tesco Clubcard Fob that I used to have on my Car Keys so that I could collect Clubcard points for the weeks shop and also for petrol, but as it was plastic and well used it snapped and I lost it. While I was getting a new card I wasn't using my loyalty card, so Tescos though that I had deserted them. Over the next couple of weeks, I started to get emails and mailshots through the post with discount vouchers, money off home delivery, free wine club membership. You name it, it arrived. So stop using your loyalty card for a couple of weeks, this will prompt the company to send you money off vouchers to tempt you back. Remember to keep all your receipts so that you can get the points for the two weeks added on at the end.

I suppose it just shows you how they analyse their loyalty card transactions and data.

Making better use of TESCO Clubcard Points

TESCOS CLUBCARD
Remember £1.00 in every £8.00 in the Uk is spent in TESCO - so make sure you maximise what you get back!
You get 1 point for every pound spent instore, online or at Tesco Petrol Stations. Tesco Partner stores: National Tyres, Marriott, Johnsons, Nationwide Auto Centre and a few more. Check out Collecting points You can also collect 1 GREEN clubpoint for each carrier bag you reuse and Tesco.com are now offering to have your grocery order delivered without carrier bags where you can collect 1 Green Clubcard Point for every 10 items ordered.
Vouchers are sent 4 times a year Collect 150 points or more in a quarter and receive your points as Clubcard Vouchers in your quarterly Statement. Each point is wirth 1p face value.
Tescos also offer a Clubcard Credit card available on the above site which allows you to collect points wherever you spend money. However...
THINK TWICE BEFORE USING YOUR VOUCHERS INSTORE.
Tesco's offer Clubcard Deals where you can exchange your Clubcard Vouchers for Deals and you get 4x their value. There's a huge range of Deals to choose from and you can use your Tokens to pay for all or just part of any days out, holidays and much more. I know someone who goes on holiday each year on TESCOS. Just think £100 per week at Tescos (not including fuel etc etc) - £1.00 in points per week - over 52 weeks gives £52.00 in discount vouchers. Convert this to TESCO deals and it could be worth over £200 of savings. Just think how quickly this could build up if you think about it! Visit the above link and select Clubcard then deals for more info.
HOW TO BOOST YOUR POINTS BALANCE
Ask for a Key Fob clubcard - that way you will never forget your card! No Missed Points.
Use any vouchers you get sent for extra points - and remember if it says buy a CD and get 500 extra points - you can buy the cheapest CD in the shop and still get the points. £1.99 CD's here I come - remember to resell the CD on Ebay once you get the points!
Consider TESCO phone, mobile, electricity and gas - if you get a good deal you also get points too.
