I was absolutely shocked when I came across this (in my circle unknown) fact that Tesco would redeem coupons for stuff you didn't buy as long as they stock it (& I get that it's also up to store managers). I'm a newbie to the MSE forum pages, have been using the webpage for years but since my partner was made redundant, although I'm on a good salary, I've been thinking seriously hard about ways to save. Well I bloody-well found one that I'm not ashamed of trying at my local tesco's... the first attempt shall be made tomorrow I'm decending on them coupons in hand

btw the d.edna posts & replies made me laugh out loud :rotfl:

Good luck tomorrow, let's hope your store is as coupon-happy as my locals.

I think the lovely d.edna has wandered off to troll on another thread now - shame it was quite entertaining in a weird way. Her bitter, customer-hating answers reminded me so much of CS staff I met when R&Ring free games consoles in Tesco. Those were the days.



P.S. We are all hoping for more free £25 ham joints this Christmas Mr T!!!!

This phrase comes up every now and again, would you mind explaining please Coupon-mad?

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Experienced participants in online forums know that the most effective way to discourage a troll is usually to ignore him or her, because responding tends to encourage trolls to continue disruptive posts — hence the often-seen warning: "Please do not feed the trolls"

Thats what we have been doing wrong :rotfl: .

good luck, like you, I had never known about using coupons in tesco until I read MSE. I use coupons all the time now and it really does save me loads of money. Hope you get a nice SA ( preferably a young one and/or a male! ) - cant wait to hear how you get on!!!

If these are the eBay Item Numbers 280284669949, 280286461064 , 280284669949 with a suspected altered date then they could always be reported to eBay for investigation

280284669949 is no longer on eBay (the other 2 are) but this is another Eukanuba one that maybe should be reported 160299458177

Nice one, whoever it may have been . 187 coupons means over £100 in fees (they will get it back though). Of course, the dodgey account can also leave negative feedback, pointing out the legality of the sale to others.

Hope others selling internet coupons meet the same fate.

A while back, someone who had coupons on an auction style listing found bidding had reached over £1000. That must have been down to 2 dodgey accounts bidding against each other . Its a good way of pushing up the final value fees, hitting them where it hurts, until they can claim the fees back.

Of course, i would never condone such behaviour - but it couldn't have happened to better folk.

He/she has relisted 200 on item number 160300062983. This is a featured advert costing £10. That is not refundable if the buyers don't pay.

120335079693 - another one giving out false information regarding acceptance for the £2 whisky ones.

These bottles are £22, so the explotion in coupons being used will not go unnoticed. :mad:
