Checkout Smart / Shopmium deals

I was able to pick up the remaining FREE cola drinks at an extra large Sainsbury's and also decided to add a couple of the 2ltr bottles for 50p each since that's a good deal too.

There's a FREE beer called UBU on Green Jinn today, valid for most major supermarkets except Sainsbury's. I tried Morrisons but they didn't have it and I don't intend to visit any others, however I did collect another FREE can of Carabao for Shopmium and won an extra 50p in their new daily scratch competition. Also found that Morrisons were selling off some individual bottles of Erdinger and speciality ales at 40p each for some reason, so it was worth stopping there!

I ended up making a mistake with one of those 2ltr cola drinks, accidentally buying from Sainsbury's which wasn't on the list. Shopmium took slightly longer to validate that claim, but have now done so.

The large bottles are 2 for £3 at Morrisons, which might increase savings if you can buy any valid combinations there.

Shopmium have added a 500ml FREE bottle of Sprite for Co-op only. I had no luck finding it in the convenience stores here.

Phizz multivitamins free (again) today, apparently saving £5, however neither of the nearby Sainsbury's sell the eligible x10 size.

This is back again today for the advent calendar.

That's still not available here, but I did manage to find the frozen Lazy Vegan Ready Meal which eluded me last time and is also FREE on Green Jinn again at the moment.

Purity Mad Goose premium pale ale FREE again today on Green Jinn for the advent calendar.

Today's advent calendar offer on Green Jinn is Nimble Sticky Stopper spray cleaner for FREE but doesn't seem to appear on the applicable supermarket pages. It can be added using the top banner, valid at Sainsbury's and Tesco.

Here's a tip that I just found: I noticed recently that Green Jinn and most similar apps were using a lot more data storage on my phone than Shopmium (which used just 10MB compared with anything up to 1.4GB each for the others). So, yesterday I tried to improve this by deleting and then reinstalling the Green Jinn, Checkout Smart, Click Snap and Nectar apps. That's actual 'delete', not just 'offload' of the apps; before downloading them again using the app store. This has made a vast difference, reclaiming over 3GB of storage space with no noticeable disadvantage. I don't know how quickly they will grow their data storage again, but at least for now that clean-up was well worth doing. Obviously make sure that you know and/or save your credentials to cloud if tempted to try this!

The Nimble Sticky Stopper seems to be just a cleaning product targeted at new parents. It's shelved in the baby section (in the Tesco I visited) and not with the cleaning products.


Good tip about the storage. Could it be that the apps are retaining all of the receipt images?

Could it be that the apps are retaining all of the receipt images?

Quite possibly. I can still view some recently submitted receipt images in the Green Jinn app, but only going back to 5th December; beyond that they're blank/missing now.

FREE sprouts today with Green Jinn, save 19p or 20p! Yay!

Love Corn 115g is currently £1 in Tesco with Clubcard but Green Jinn haven't updated their prices (yet) so this makes the Sea Salt flavour FREE and the Cheese & Onion flavour gives £1 overage, assuming that your offers are the same as mine.
