Tried to use the Daily Mirror free Uncle Bens and got told I could use it by SA in CO-OP- went to till and tried to use it but got told as the sauce sold for 1.65 and the voucher was only worth 1.49 I would have to pay the difference. Was not a happy bunny as it was the same SA- they could have said no they wouldn't accept it or that I had to pay the difference before I got to the checkout. I argued with them and they gave me the price of the newspaper back (twice as I had bought 2) which was more than the difference. Anyone know whether I should have paid the difference or whether I was right?Making my money go further with MSE :j

i think it must depend on store i used it in co op and didnt buy anything else
the sauce was priced at 1.55 but she took coupon wrote 1.55 on it and put it in till free sauce. i prob would of paid difference but we use uncle bens s&s anyway so was still a saving for me.

I did even better.


I was going to ASDA anyway so thought I'd get my UB S&S from there.
Theirs is also £1.42 (for the 500g jar - as per the coupon),
.... however they also have the 750g jar for just £1.43 ... :cool:
... AND ALSO ON OFFER - TWO for £2.50 .... :cool:
:rotfl:
Now I didn't read the coupon small print did I ?
I didn't see there were 2 sizes on the shelves did I ? (Actually there were 3)
So picked up two 750g jars from the HUGE promotional display and handed in 2 coupons.
So that's 1500g of S&S for NOWT ... AND ... 48p off my other shopping.

Back tomorrow - I've got another 8 coupons. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
