Does anybody know if Mr T's take the farmfoods spend £25 and get £2.50 off vouchers? I know they used to take the Sainsburys ones but not sure about these.

I would say this is store-specific (but rare) as a few people reported last year that their store was taking Farm Foods 'spend & save' vouchers.

Most stores won't, because they don't have a barcode for a start and would require manually typing in as a non-scan voucher (not the same as typing in the numbers from a barcode and many stores don't allow it). It's the same as the M&S vouchers that were around in January - stores shouldn't really have taken them as they were outside the policy but some stores did.

My local Tesco don't take them but good luck with your locals. The official policy is that Tesco accept 'all major Supermarkets' conditional spend vouchers' as long as they are in date and don't state a product or range.

So, if there was such a voucher around, a Morrisons '£5 off when you spend £25 instore' would be fine in Tesco but not a Morrisons '£5 off £25 when you spend £25 on frozen food' (or anything else specific).

I was under the impression that if there is a branch of the competitor near your store then they will take the coupon , but if the coupon you are offering is from a store that is not within a certain radius, then there is no advantage for the store to take it...iyswim...

The above link might help.....there are quite a few acronyms I still don't get and think there must be plenty of people like me out there...mind you I'm of a certain age, and there is an awful lot about the internet I doubt I will ever understand !!If I say I worked in a computer room in 1960 and the computers were the size of double wardrobes and the printers were the size of a small family car.....I think you'll get my drift ...iyswim

LOL!!!!! The computers you describe sounds just like the one at the high school I went to in the States! That was in 1975 though and it was huge with a great big thing that looked like a very big cassette deck!

Mad was working on mainframes and mid-range (AS400) up until 2000. Still ran the tapes on the reels then (also 30000 carts). Had great tape ring fights :rotfl: Used to get through three pallets of A4 paper on a print run during the night shift :eek: Managed to blow up a manhattan printer one time. Blamed it on the damp paper that had been delivered, truth was Mad spilt his can of coke over the electrics:rotfl:
