tesco 5p off a litre tip

mikeouk

sorry if this has been mentioned before, i did a search and nothing came up.

I did a shop at tesco the other day and it occured to me that it would probably go over £100 so i asked the checkout girl to put it through as 2 transactions and i got 2 vouchers for the 5p off a litre of fuel offer.

The 5p off per litre voucher does expire after so many days though so you need to use on second care or pass to a friend.

OH make me go with him when we have only 1 voucher. He parks both cars so pump with reach them both and fills up his then mine on same transaction. We then get 5p per litre from both tank fulls.:T

We fill up both cars no problem; 1 Mondeo and 1 Fiesta, not sure how much they both hold.

From rusty memory the limit is 100litres and you are restricted to one vehicle, but if you do as poppy said, they don't bother to tell you not to do it - they are probably too busy to notice.

My friends hubby goes into the store, and buys something over £50 in just a few items (He once bought a £51 hoover, ando ther time some whiskey)
Gets the voucher and fills up his car.
Then returns the item/s saying he's changed his mind.

Seems pretty far fetched for 5p a litre if you ask me, but it's each to his own.

Can you believe that its TESCOs "policy" not to tell customers that phone up, what the price of diesel/petrol is today!! Why?! My elderly mother phoned Morrissons and Sainsburys so she could decide which supermarket to use and thus save her pension pennies- they obliged immediately ... and then phoned Tesco in Evesham ... they wouldn't tell her!!!

That just happened to me - they said it was an email from head office but at a different store they wouldn't give the info out "by law".

I asked which law that was and when it came into force... "Err, erm, it's a contract" came the eloquent reply :rolleyes:

A supervisor however, was happy to give me a price (119.9p).

Interestingly Morrisons is selling unleaded at a very competitive 111.9p... so toodleoo Tesco :wave:

We never really do £50 worth of shopping at Tesco as we have an Asda nearby.

I fill up at Tesco every other week anyway so I got a Tesco Clubcard Credit Card last year to collect points on. Got over 3000 points so far which is worth about £30 at Tesco or 4 x £30 in deal tokens so I'm going to use it for a service at Nationwide Autos.

I have only just opened a Tesco Clubcard Plus (savings account) for which you get 4 points for every pound spent at Tesco (rather than 1 point per pound). I just top the account up with £60 every other week.

Anyway, here's my tip for this thread... I've found alot of eBay sellers selling their 5p off petrol/diesel reciept. I've just bought my first one for £1.05 (incl p&p) yesterday. It's possible to pick them up for less than that. It's got expiry date of 10/08/08.

I normally fill about 50 litres so using the reciept will reduce the price by £2.50... less the initial £1.05 'investment' = £1.45. That's like 3pence off per litre.

Not alot I know but this site is about money saving.:D

Keep an eye on the prices though as I often notice tesco isn't the cheapest, espicially when they have offers on
