Now You Can Request Offers That Are All Booked Out

Really want a cashback offer that’s been booked out by other SnapnSave users? With our new “Request” feature, you can request to be put in the queue so that when one becomes available, that offer is automatically booked for you. 

How It Works

1. Request It 

If the offer is all booked out by other users, you will see a “REQUEST” button on the offer. Simply click “REQUEST” and you’ll be added to the queue for that offer. 

2. Wait To Be Notified 

If an offer becomes available again and you are next in the queue, you will receive either a SMS or push notification to let you know that the offer has been automatically booked for you. 

3. Proceed As Normal 

Once you’ve been notified that the requested offer has been booked for you, simply proceed with the SnapnSave process as per normal (e.g. go buy that product in any SA major retailer and snap your till slip). 

NB: you can check your “Booked Offers” when logged into your SnapnSave account to see how long you have to snap your till slip for these offers. 

Please Note:

Just because you request an offer, you are not guaranteed that the offer will be booked for you. It all depends on how many offers become available and your position in the queue. 

Also, this feature does not apply to locked offers.

This new feature is only available when using SnapnSave via the website and mobi site. This feature will be included in the next release of the Android & IOS mobile apps in the next week. 

There’s something fun for everyone.

With the long weekend approaching and Monday being Family Day why not have some fun with your family this weekend. The possibilities are endless so we picked out 4 of our favourites.

Take the family to the park for a picnic.

Choose a park close by, pack a picnic basket filled with yummy snacks and drinks and take along a game of your choice.

Arrange a family games night.

Pick a game that you all like such as Scrabble, Rummikub, Monopoly, Charades or use Ellen’s app “Heads Up”, this is sure to have you all rolling on the floor laughing.

Make your own pizza.

Its a great way to get the family around the dinner table and kids love it when you give them a ball of pizza dough to spread. You will be amazed at the combinations everybody selects and you can all taste each others pizzas.

Check out how to make a home made pizza base here.

Camp in the garden.

For some old fashion family fun set up the tent in the garden, make a fire and roast some marshmallows. You can also setup a fun obstacle course where the kids can leap over the garden hose, army-crawl under the patio table, do a lap around the flower beds then hop through a hula-hoop back to the beginning.

Remember your childhood days when you went to school and the teacher spoiled you and your class mates with jelly orange wedges? Well, we’re currently running cashback offers on most of the ingredients so why not spoil your little one and turn it into an activity that you can do together with these 3 fun ideas.

Rainbow Orange Wedges

These are perfect for kiddies parties. You can also also use different flavoured jelly’s to add some colour to the mix. These are sure to make the kids smile.

What you will need:

9 oranges

Moir’s Jelly

Baking tray

What you need to do:

Wash the oranges.

Halve them.

Juice them so that they are empty. Bonus is you will have some freshly squeezed orange juice.

Put the orange halves in a baking tray in an upright position.

Now for the jelly bit:

Dissolve jelly in 225ml boiling water and stir until dissolved. Then add another 225ml of cold water and mix well. Pour the mixture into your halved orange moulds. Put in the fridge and leave to set overnight. Once set, slice into wedges and enjoy!

Watermelon Jelly Slices

This is very similar to the orange wedges above but we love variety.

The difference:

Cut your watermelon in half length ways. 

Use a big knife to slice all the way around the perimeter of the watermelon flesh. 

Take a big spoon and scoop the flesh out of the watermelon so you only have the skeleton of the watermelon left. 

Pour your jelly mixture into the watermelon halves and let it set overnight. 

When it’s ready, slice into wedges and again, enjoy!

Jelly Worms

If you are looking for something really different or you are having a themed party then these jelly worms are perfect. They might not look like it but they are really yummy and will keep you and the kids entertained while making and eating them.

What you will need:

2 packets Moir’s jelly

½ cup cream

1 ½ cups boiling water

1 packet Oreo cookies

100 plastic bendy straws

Elastic bands

What you need to do:

Stretch the straws and place them in a jug, wrap elastic bands around them

Whisk cream into your jelly mixture.

Pour all the mixture over your straws and leave to set in fridge overnight.

Put Oreo cookies in a bag and crush. Once crushed put them into a bowel.

Rinse straws under warm water to loosen the jelly.

Use a blunt knife and pull the straw over the blade as you would when curling ribbon.

Place worms on top of Oreo dirt and watch the kids go crazy for this.
