tesco took plenty off me yesterday
i dont think it is people who are using lots of coupons spoiling it.
It's people who hand over coupons that the supermarkets are UNABLE TO REDEEM, that spoil it. ie the famous £4 book token and SS coupons for one store given in at anotherI can be brown I can be blue I can be violet and sky. I can be hurtful I can be purple I can be anything you like..Gotta be green gotta be mean gotta be everything more...0 -

I work in Asda and we have all been briefed that if you don't buy the product you can't use the coupon, some people do take the mickey and try to pass off out of date coupons and coupons from other stores0

I used a couple in York Asda today and the SA didn't say anything.

I posted about this on 'Shop but don't drop' on Sunday - I didn't use any coupons on Sat but the operator (at same ASDA)told me that were stopping it that day and had been told that they could be sacked for accepting them! - I understood that it was only if were not buying the actual product - they should still take them for the products on the coupons.
The previous policy was that it was Ok as long as they stocked the product and your coupons did not come to more than 10% of your bill, although I have had some checkout staff be a bit funny about accepting them before.
Shame as I usually manage to save about £2 a week, when I remembered to hand over the coupons - and as all the supermarket prices seem to have taken a nother jump up over the last month I was going to start looking for more coupons...guess I was not alone and that is why they have stopped it.......The best advice you can give your children: "Take responsibility for your own actions...and always Read the Small Print!"

Say you do a big shop of £150 (which I do about once a month) then go to pay and you have a couple of coupons, is the checkout operator really going to remember whether or not you've bought the specific items? I can't see them scrutinizing your receipt or making you unpack your shopping to check?:smileyhea Proud Mummy of 2 :smileyheaTotally addicted to Boots glitches & the Next sales!0

No mention of Asda stopping coupons in my local Asda today (Oadby).
When I handed my coupons over and asked if she could take them,
the SA just glanced at them, said 'yes, of course' and put them through.
I had taken all my highest value ones just in case they do stop taking them soon, but at Oadby for long enough they have only taken 8 coupons before the till beeps and a supervisor has to be called, so I stick to 8 so it does not get embarrassing and hold up the queue!A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion0 -
