You'll really think I've taken leave of my senses! I've always prided myself on being untouched by the world of advertising and, up until this Flybuys thing, had never bothered with any type of promotion, voucher, etc. But, after being asked for years by various checkout persons every time I paid for something if I had Flybuys (and I didn't), I finally weakened and looked at the website. However, it was so complicated I couldn't work it out, so just closed the page. Even so, it must have registered, because now I am bombarded with Flybuys emails and got a letter in the mail yesterday with the actual card.
You will be very proud of the next bit, Lina! Early this morning I got up and went to Coles, chose some stuff and got myself through the automatics checkouts!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only did I have to scan the individual items, but I used my debit card AND the new Flybuys card AND withdrew some cash AND got some vouchers for the local school!!!!!!!!!!! (I have to admit the assistant was right beside me, though I probably could have managed all by myself.)
Then, feeling ever-so-clever, I got some petrol, using the Coles voucher for 4 cents/litre off. The man told me if I bought three lots of lollies for $3 I would get an extra something, so I even did that!!!!!!
Goodness gracious me - what a lot of bother. Why don't they just charge a set price for things and be done with it?
Yes, Winifred, I do value my friendships and keep my friends forever! And I've always been interested in people from other countries, especially if they are another colour! If they speak another language I always want to have a go at learning it. I'm the very opposite of racist - is there a word for that?

Yes there is a word for it, 2 words to be precise - extremely nice.
I am in admiration that you actually went to the 'do it yourself' checkout
I always refuse to use them, it is not only that I always make a hash of it all but I object to the companys who not only want you to shop with them but serve yourself too - they just want you to put your money down and go. I insist on being served or I put the things back and leave. xx
I am glowing with pride!!
I do understand that is it is a very greedy thing for the supermarkets to do but sometimes I just need to run in and out and we never have enough checkout people
