    It's a voucher for £3 off of a "Joey" DVD boxset.

    You can (if you're lucky) use one against you shoping @ Tesco even when you haven't bought the item - as long as you get the right checkout op, on the right day!

    My luck isn't normally in when trying to off load these vouchers :(

    you don't need to try your luck with the checkout operator. as long as Tesco sell the boxset (which I'm sure they do) they have to accept the voucher. they accept 1 voucher for each non bought product.

    But I tried to use a (£1 off bodyform) voucher in Tesco yesterday and the SA told me they were no longer taking them if you hadn't bought the item

    I wish this were true.

    If I had £3 for every time that I'd had a Joey refused!!

    have used them no problem at Asda but always ask at checkout, also self scans in Tesco and at checkout when doing a large shop. they have a long date on them so its worth getting. You may be lucky and find some still on the triple berry shreded wheat in Tesco which was half price last week [not sure if this offer is still on]. Have also used Somerfied tokens in Asda and tesco recently.
  • i cannot believe it but i handed about £20 worth of somerfield coupons in (from the somerfield magazine) at Tesco tonight and the sales assistant took them without any hesitation whatsoever. he handed me two back where i had cut throught the last number on the bar code. This was against a £80 shop and I had another £20 worth of other coupons. i am desperately looking for some JOEYS as a large coupon value of £3 does not look as suspicious as 15 x 20p coupons!
    Just about to give up!
