Hello, Elle!
So how do the Nectar points work?
What do you do with them?
I have only seen about 8 episodes of "Murder", and I liked them.
Hopefully they will be repeated and I can see all of them.
I often know about the particular case they are investigating.
I've read quite a bit about "true" murders.
Out of the 8 or so episodes I have watched, only one conviction was judged to be unsafe.
Possibly Edith Thomson's, but I cannot quite remember for sure.
The programmes are probably not for everyone, but I was very interested in them.

Hello, Rosalind!
I have heard some great tales of product substitutions, too, in the home deliveries!
Some hilarious!
I look to Elle to tell us all about how she gets on with the substitutes!

Hi rusty

Yes, I think there may well be some interesting substitutions.
You can redeem Nectar points when shopping as Sainsburys or lots of other places like Argos or Vue cinemas, holidays etc. One of my sons uses his for petrol. You also get them if you buy stuff on eBay.
I get Tesco vouchers and have used them for many things, including a trip up the Shard for 2, meals at Pizza Express (and maybe Nandos?) a trip for 5 to Woburn Safari Park (and another of those soon, though I doubt it could beat the first, when a tiger sauntered right past our car and the children actually saw a bear in the woods, doing what they do!)

Rosalind, I can understand the redeeming part of Nectar points, but how do you come by them in the first place?

rusty-
For every pound you spend at Sainsburys (I think, I don't shop there) you get 1 nectar point. You also get one for every £ on eBay, Argos, Debenhams etc. You can get a card onto which the points are added, or it happens automatically on eBay once you have registered to get them.
I get them on eBay and nowhere else; have no idea how many and don't care much, either!
AirMiles used to be great- I once flew to Edinburgh and back and stayed in a 4 star hotel B&B for 3 nights, all free.

Thank you, Rosalind, I did not know that.
I do not go to Sainsbury, but I use eBay regularly.

rusty.
If you google How to get a Nectar card you can fill in an on-line application and they will send you one. Then you register it with eBay and you get the points automatically when you buy anything.
However, whether it's worth the bother is another matter!

Hello, Rosalind.
Thank you for the info.
No, I won't bother.
I was just curious to find out about where the Nectar points came from.

Good evening, Rusty!
I think the episodes of "Murder" sound interesting....I had just never come across any of them.
Now, Nectar points...Ros seems to have covered a fair bit.
500 points would be worth £2-50 deducted from the cost of one's shopping at Sainsbury's.
I know this is not a lot...but every little helps!
You can "spend" straight from your card by swiping it at Sainsbury's till.
Easy!
You can also spend the points at Argos or Vue Cinemas......or you can spend them online towards holidays , hotels, and days out.
Something for nothing in one sense.......so why not?
I did not previously know about ebay and Nectar...but here is a link
https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/paying-items/ebay-nectar?id=4704
I hope this is of help?

P.S. Rusty!
I forgot to say that I can now also spend my Nectar points, when buying online from Sainsbury's.
Can't be bad!
