Has anyone had any Little Treats from Waitrose yet?

[JacknDiane]

Am wondering what the Little Treats actually involve?

Mine are currently 3x50p (two of which I do buy regularly), 1x£1.50 which I won't use and 1x£1 which I might to try something new. But they have been down to 2 or 3 x 50p a few times lately

Morning all. Does anyone know what the last Little Treat is for July?

No, I've only spent £30 in there so far this month so I'm not going to get there I don't think.

I'm £32 away from it and am popping in to buy bread and milk later, so no doubt I will be able to tell you then

Next treat is 8-pack of Fever Tree tonics (includes flavoured ones) or ginger ale. I like this one, as do enjoy a g & t in the summer!

Oooh, we do like those. Better get myself back to Waitrose.

Not really for us but I have a friend who likes mixers

The August ones are:

£50 spend - Graze oat bars or gluten free alternative
£100 - Manilife nut butter or rowse honey
£250 No.1 Sausages or plant based alternative

They will all go down very well. DS2 gets through a jar of nut butter a week.

How do you know these so early?

That's what I was wondering....!

They probably work at Waitrose?

Just got today - nice!!!

Has anyone hit the milestones this month yet?

First one is a free box of Graze Oat Boosts... as @Serencwtch said !

What was the gluten free alternative?

I got over the line for the Fever Tree tonics half an hour before the store shut on the 31st. We don't normally eat oat bars but peanut butter and sausages are always welcome here.

For the oat bars?

It's free from cookies.

I'm not sure about the sausages I think some are gluten free anyway.

Their sausages are, yes. I have some in my fridge, now 😊

We've just received the Fever Tree Light Elderflower tonics for July. I chose those partly because we'd already got some Waitrose Indian tonics in the pantry. I pretty much stopped drinking a couple of years ago so I'm looking forward to the Elderflower ones on their own and perhaps one with the very rare treat of a G&T.

Here are the options stated on our vouchers for the first two August treats:

A selected box of Graze Oat Boosts 4x30g. Included Lines: 661791 - Graze Honey Oat Boosts 4x30g, 624055 - Graze Lemon Blueberry Oat Boosts 4x30g, 565042 - Graze Cocoa Vanilla Oat Boosts 4x30g, 734461 - Graze Cherry Bakewell Oat Boosts 4x30g, 726032 - Graze Cocoa Orange Oat Boosts 4x30g, 940324 - Graze Banana Bread Oat Boosts 4x30g, 978022 - WR FF Sicilian Lemon & White Choc 150g.

A selected Manilife Peanut Butter 275g or Rowse Honey 340g. Included lines: 844065 - ManiLife Rst Crunchy Peanut Butter 275g, 823741 - ManiLife Dp Rst Crnch Peanut Butter 275g, 910386 - ManiLife Orig Smooth Peanut Butter 275g, 681889 - ManiLife Dp Rst Smth Peanut Butter 275g, 080127 - Rowse Runny Honey Squeezy 340g, 732259 - Rowse Light & Mild Honey 340g, 552317 - Rowse Dark & Rich Honey 340g.

Could it be WR FF Sicilian Lemon & White Choc 150g - assuming FF is free from?

When you get the oat bars voucher if you tap on it then you can see all the lines included in the offer which normally includes a gluten free option.

On some of the offers there's not always a gluten free or vegan option but they may have one as a 'hidden line' so it's worth asking.

I'm sure a food bank would be glad to take the oat bars off your hands.

Yes, it is.

I've put quite a few of the offers in the food bank and this might be one of them. DH likes the Graze bars but for autistic DS2 who starts on long, excitable monologues about various food items, they are one of his triggers and I don't think I can face that 😂

I'm not at that point this month, anyway. First order of the month this Friday, if the bloody website will behave itself.

Shockingly I made the spend for the tonic and both the ones of choice have been out of stock ever since in our branch. We went in today and even more options had gone. DH said just buy the aromatic which you like and be done with it. So I did. They know they'll be popular due to treats but in our branch they don't seem to account for that in their stocking or they deliberately want to piss people off! It's been like that for each treat so I'd rather have a money off voucher. However I'll take the first two treats this month but I won't make the third but not bothered.
