Second Spend of the Year

G decided to let slip this morning that he is almost out of shower gel 😕 and as we always order two boxes of paracetamol each week in the online delivery ( no deliveries booked for January )  it was deemed sensible to visit Boots Pharmacy in the village and use some of my loyalty points to pay for them.  I bought a couple of other things which  we were almost out of too.....


They cost a total of 736 points (£7.36) leaving 741 points (£7.41) for later in the month when we might need more paracetamol or things like toothpaste.  It saves using the small grocery budget for such things this month.....


I did a quick inventory of the contents of the fridge in readiness for our Asda shop tomorrow.  I really don't want to spend more than £25 of the gift card value so that we can do another shop with it in a couple of weeks,  G always buys loads of chocolate to take to work at the weekend and keeps it at the very top of the fridge door so that I'm not tempted.  Consequently, we end up with big wrappers from the multipack containing just one bar 😡 I emptied them all out and saw this message on the wrapper just as I was binning it....


WHAT a message!  What a bad example to set the kids of today.  If I saw my kids or Grandchildren doing that I would tell them off instantly. 

What do you think? Has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks for popping in today.

Stay safe everyone wherever in the world you happen to be x

    I don't buy KitKats so I have never seen the instruction, I have however seen the fingers being used this way. I don't think I'll be trying it myself at any time.

    Isn't it nice shopping with points instead of cash, you are doing really well. :-)

    Thanks Sue. Shopping with points is definitely satisfying. I must remember to check carefully what G is popping in the trolley tomorrow! 😂
    I certainly won't be trying the kit kat straw either. We both have better manners obviously 😁xx

    Never saw anything like that. Wow, not good for children at all.

    God bless.

    That KitKat thing is awful. Well done on using the loyalty points so efficiently

    That's weird. I wonder how that sticker got there? Chocolate is so addictive. I try not to eat it but when I do I buy the Lindt.
