Greenpoints -- spend or save?

[hosh28262]

You can also buy the LF reusable bags with your greenpoints instead of paying .99. They are very sturdy, although I like the older version better than the new one (it's kind of obnoxious looking).

I usually spend greenpoints on the money off entire order promos or to make my bananas cheaper. I may have to save them up for gift cards though with the holidays coming.

Sometimes I need to remind the cashier for the bag points. Just a reminder as I hand her my coupons, "did you get the points for my bags? I brought 9 of them" I have gotten points for bags I had but didn't use... ie, I had 9 bags, but I only used 7 on my order. I didn't intend to defraud, but they were still bagging when she rang them up and the bagger didn't use all of them.

I need to try to put them back in the car when I unload them as I may stop unexpectedly at the store and not have them or rush out and forget them.

I am saving mine. I want a new microwave. only about 10,000 points to go, so I should have it in the next 4-6 weeks. Woo Hoo!

Just a reminder for those looking on the site to use their points for getting something, if you find something you want, do a search specifically for that item. I found the microwave that I want in 2 places...with a 6000 point difference in the "price." It is 103K in one place and 109K in another. I have found that on a couple of items. Descriptions are the exact same.

I have a zippered pouch inside my large handbag. I can stuff five or six bags in there and it doesn't take up much space at all. Then they are always there when I'm shopping.
