Would assume the cheese won't be making it up to Scotland. I’ve been led to believe it is available up here, in Lanarkshire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopy67 Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Bought two blocks last night. I would also add that it has to be one block per transaction to get an entry per block. So best do this on self-service to avoid looking slightly odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that if sales weren’t great they won’t stock it this year. Maybe after Xmas it might reappear. Everytime I see a coop I tend to wander in just to see if it’s stocked!

I was buying a few sandwiches every day or two to enter comp for a few in our group that didn't have tickets,it seemed well stocked every few days with new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to appear a bit odd (or claim you are also shopping for a friend/relative) than use those machines. No to self service checkouts!

You can enter via post for free, but I think that's something that all pay per entry competitions have to offer (you see this with the ITV and Radio competitions) Enter at your own risk!

mufcok Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 I'm a little confused. I was buying copious amounts last year (to no avail), and they did draw every month. This time it says the below on the website/T&C's - is it only running this month, or is that gonna be amended every month between now and next June? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would totally have got more but there were just 3 left!! If I can source some more in the next few days it might be in freezing territory though... Haven't tried it yet. Hope I like it...
