Well done Joshua! I admire your enthusiasm.

Not sure what I would do if I received the same sort of offer as I have more QFF points than I can use at the moment but who knows....

It's my considered opinion that one can NEVER have too many QFF points

I am with you on that, GPH! What is this concept of "too many QFF points"?
Something akin to "too much Champagne"?

If you donate them to charity does that make it tax deductible?!

I am in awe of Joshua's dedication. And the tax deduction makes it even better!

I suspect all the supervisor contacts will result this being shut down or at least severly limited to xx items.

Afterall on these super- cheap products, I suspect woolies is running at a loss.
Cat food $0.75
Cost $0.40 (assuming a decent profit margin as generic brand)
Normal profit $0.35

Then deduct Cost of points (given when redeemed for cash it is abot 1c/point, QFF will sell them to woolworths for more than this... Lets assume 1.2c)

50 point offer $0.60
Loss on sale $0.25 per item...

100 point offer $1.20
Loss on sale $0.85 per item...

I was more thinking 0.5c.

50points offer $0.25c+cost of cat food at .4 = $0.65 = $0.10 profit.

A small loss at 100 points offer.

Though, I'm guessing, cost of cat food is probably higher than $0.40?

Champagne. Another of life's staples. So much so , Mrs GPH has had me install a dedicated wine fridge for her champagne ,( only a small one admittedly. ) to ensure we are never caught short, or are snowed in!

I can't believe that these are still sitting on the shelves at WOW Stafford:



6 complete boxes - not for long, I expect..

JohnK, I accept donations of QFF points, if you don't want them anymore

(drum roll)

!

(again, I'm serious)

Honestly though, this is definitely my limit. If this is a pissing contest then I'm out! sutho58 has a better offer so even luckier for him, hope everyone else who has any similar offer has made something of it. Thanks to the staff at my local store because they've been very helpful and offered to assist transporting it. For all I know, there will be an even better offer around the corner but what can you do. I might never get this again, hell they'll probably cancel our EDR cards. I'm going to be gone a for a fortnight, then back briefly then overseas for a while so basically my last chance in the coming months. Thanks everyone for enjoying the lunacy of it all.

+1. How could the chase ever end? I'm appalled at JohnK's comments, how dare he frequent this board ever again... banished!!!

This reminds me of the pudding guy, yes it really did happen. A quick search will verify this.

Things took a strange turn in the Phillips household last year when David, a civil engineer at the University of California at Davis, turned to his schoolteacher wife Cindy and said with disquieting urgency, "I'm going to go to the bank and get some money. We have to buy as much pudding as we possibly can."
Phillips had stumbled upon one of those frequent-flyer promotions in which airlines team with credit-card companies and other partners. The deal, since withdrawn, was this: buy 10 Healthy Choice products and get 500 miles--or 1,000 miles for purchases made before June 1999. Phillips tossed soup and popcorn into his basket like an end-of-the-world fanatic, but went apoplectic when he saw chocolate-fudge pudding cups at 25[cents] a pop. A mere $62.50 worth, he quickly calculated, would buy 25,000 miles.
"Being a geeky engineer, I came home and put everything into a spreadsheet," says Phillips, 35, who had spent five years saving miles to fly Cindy and himself to Europe. With this deal, they could take their two daughters along, and so within days he had cleaned out every supermarket chain in the Sacramento area, unable to stop himself until he had bought practically enough pudding to fly business class to Mars. In the end, he had spent $3,000 on 12,150 cups of pudding, accumulating 1.25 million miles. (He also donated most of the pudding to charity, qualifying for an estimated $800 tax break.)
