I'm not someone who bothers much about Nectar points. They're not worth a great deal, and the savings made at Lidl/Aldi are usually bigger than doing a shop at Sainsburys and getting points on top. However, today I needed wellies and thought the orange branded supermarket might be a good place to buy 'em. My hunch was right as this purple pair were half price, down from £18. I had a 'spend a tenner and get a quid's worth of points' coupon, plus £2.50 worth of Nectar points already on my card.
What that means is I bought wellies, some falafel mix, soft cheese and - a weekend treat - some choccie buttons for the bargain price of £9.50 the lot. That seemed a pretty savvy deal to me.
I don't bother with a Tesco Clubcard, but I've got various other ones, like a Boots card and one for Superdrug. I'd always go for price and quality of an item, rather than concentrate on how many points buying it would generate for me though. Loyalty isn't a quality many of us increasingly feel toward shops, however much they want us to invest emotionally in their brands.
