No problems getting 4 "Fish & Chips" at the first Tesco (just a petrol station Express Forecourt store) BUT all the Chilli & Chocolate had gone, as had all the Daily Mail DVDs, so I knew I'd be popping to a nearby Express store to get my copy of "Sea of Sand".

The second Express didn't even stock the Chilli & Chocolate so picked up Cajun Squirrel instead, HOWEVER all the "Do Us A Flavour" bags here were 57p each.
Whilst coupon says FREE, barcode obviously only scans at 55p.
The SA insisted I had to PAY the additional 2p for each bag.
Anyway I handed it over but queried their higher price not being charged at the previous store, only about a mile away.
Manager called over, she closely examined the coupon and said "Well it does say FREE", whereupon she open the till and gave me my money back.
Said something about "looking in to changing the price if dozens of people over the next 3 days are going to be coming in with these coupons"

So be aware of price differences.

Surprised you had a problem with coupon scanning as checked it before using my one & the code on it should definitely scan at 57p, which it did at my Tesco Express tonight. Got the duck & hoi sin but haven't tried yet.

MOC, free bag of walkers crisps at Tesco, today only, choose from fish & chips or chilli & chocolate barcode 9918073150557

... mine was the same

"barcode 9918073150557"

That means it is only 55p !

I handed in 6 of them (in 2 different Tescos) and they all scanned at 55p

Discodee

I got 5 bags yesterday all at 57p too, but it actually did me a favour

Took the kids out for a long walk and decided I'd walk down to a new little express store. I'd got 5 Suns, as I pay for them using paper coupons and there were coupons worth 80p in anyway, so £2.50 profit plus 5 bags of crisps

Decided i'd try a few other coupons there too and took a bundle of 50p off simple wipes I had.
Express only stocked the fish and chips, no chilli & choc which sounds revolting but the kids wanted to try it. Picked up 5 bags and then put 4easter eggs in my basket
realised going to the till as they're 99p each and my coupons are 50p, I'd end up paying 40 odd pence (shock horror.)
As it happened the balance was 6p.
realised afterwards that the crisps were 57p and the coupons had scanned at 55p. Bit naughty that innit? But did me a favour.
