    Argos has a red code

    If Argos has a website which offers a customer contact address ( email or phone ) perhaps you could try that and ask them about their Money Off for personal shoppers ?

    Plant labels

    I also use the coloured labels as no need to write on them if you make a note of which colour applies to which plant. NB don't lose your notebook :biggrin:
