Got to spend £170 in Asda - what to buy?

[clary]

I know it's a nice problem to have... we have about £170 of credit card cash back vouchers to spend in Asda in the next two weeks. Have to spend all the voucher at once (one is £94 and one is £78).

What shall we buy? We had a look today but couldn't agree. I had thoughts of a Kitchenaid type mixer but they didn't have any.

Any thoughts? What would you get? Would kind if like it to be something nicer than the week's shopping! !

Def think buy your groceries with it then buy the kitchen aid! One thing you really want and can keep for years over a dozen things you only quite like.

I had this issue, albeit considerably less than your voucher and you can use them online at george.com. I did and it went through OK.

Ah interesting! It does say on my voucher that I can't spend it online tho, so maybe they have changed the T&Cs.

I’d just buy my normal shopping then use the cash I’d normal spend of something hing else like a few nice meals out or a theme park day out for the whole family.

I really like their bedding.

Nice crockery too. X

Christmas presents
Clothing
Electricals
Kitchen stuff
Drink cupboard top up

Gin. Lots of gin.

Spend it all on weekly food then transfer £170 cash for your kitchen aid.

We had this and bought 6 bottles of champagne. All gone now so you’ve reminded me I need to spend the next lot - thank you!

Can you spend them in George?

Lots of good bits and pieces.

The kids wear is great.

How did you get the voucher OP?

Ooooh exciting!

Gin and Christmas presents 🎁 and some clothes and groceries.

Gas barbecue?

If your dc are older teens you could buy yourself some alcohol & spend the rest on fresh pizza, doughnuts and coke. Then enjoy a relaxing weekend getting drunk without being told at hourly intervals there is never anything nice to eat in this house.

Food. Fill the cupboards and the freezer x

Food - things are going to get tough and I think everyone is in denial.

If you can't use your voucher to buy george online, or can't spend £90 in a weekly shop, just get one or two 'big ticket' items like a hoover/tv/ etc, then return them the next day - they will stick it on a normal asda gift card that you can spend where/whenever/whatever increments you want

If not, maybe just have a wander one night when it's quiet. I've had some surprisingly nice clothes/house decorations from asda - including my comfiest work shoes EVER (£6 compared to the £65 I'd usually spend in Clarks for similar looking but not as comfy ones)

But if you do spend it on groceries their make your own pizzas won't get you to the £96 mark alone but are really really nice, much better and miles cheaper than dominos etc. You can freeze if not cooking that day.

Big stores also have a good make up/shampoo/conditioner etc range if you need to stock up on any basics too

I would personally use a big chunk on essentials to get me through the winter, things like bulk buying toilet roll, kitchen roll, laundry products, cleaning supplies and pet food. I would also stock up on loads of essentials in case I need to self isolate for a fortnight over the winter at some point.

I don't think their range of items for gifting is great but they do have really nice homeware.
