Okay here's my tip.
I have an S26 formula tin (empty) on my bench in the kitchen. Whenever I finish something or open a tin, I remove the label/barcode, write on the back
what it was from and put it in the tin. When the tin's full, I transfer each label or barcode into an alphabetical filing box with 26 cardboard
storing envelopes in it. One for each letter. That way when a comp comes up I just go to the letter and find my barcodes ready. It's a real
bugger when its a 'must have receipt' comp....but never mind. Hope this helps....oh another hint if you store barcodes like me...some companies change the size or look of their barcodes for a new comp so double check
your old ones against the same product in the shops when a comp comes up for that product. |

I was always under the impression that you can only use barcodes from the same badge number eg. same promotion. I didn't know that it's only
limited to the product or store. :wow: |

bar codes
Fantastic
I did not realise you could keep the
bar codes in case of more Comps.
I have never entered comps before
and I'm finding these hints very helpful
Thanks Heaps |

Storing barcodes
Bar codes don't change from store to store. However sometimes they change the colour etc across an entire range e.g. Arnotts choc. biscuits
changed the barcode colour to red a couple of years back.
I have separate labelled envelopes in a drawer in alphabetical order for all the products I regularly use e.g. one for Liptons, one for John West etc
etc and I take the bar codes off and file them as I use the products. Doesn't help if the comp needs POP within the timeframe of the comp
though. I hate those! |

Killing 2 birds with one stone
I store my barcodes in snap lock plastic bags (separate ones for each product) in a file.
The Glad comp at the moment is very useful as I was able to buy a whole lot of Glad snap lock bags which I'll use for comping but also am able to use
the barcodes from their boxes to enter the Glad comp.
€I also cut off barcodes, put them in container on window sill then sort them out alphabetically into my plastic bags. Works for me.
