Glad to be of help - I was a Starbucks virgin until Tuesday - cannot really justify the cost when I can make my own brew of Douwe Egberts for next to nothing. Sooner spend a similar amount on a pint of real ale - something I can't knock up in an instant at home.

As for your "1st coupon" - Ssssssssssshhh!
Method of obtaining not revered in most MSE circles

One per transaction!!

My very helpful SA in Asda put all 14 vouchers through in one transaction for my 14 loaves, she had to call superviser to do an over ride on the till but she checked and said as long as it is one coupon per product it was fine, my freezer is now full of bread!!! Fantastic bargain, must go to the co-op tomorrow for my 28 light bulbs!!!:beer:

I'm going back shortly to get 2 or 3 more - this time I'm going to see if I can get a couple of Wholemeal loaves instead.
Whilst the advert has a picture of a White Loaf, and the text refers to it also, the coupon itself actually says "This coupon may be redeemed against a Warburton's 800g Medium Loaf "

No mention of White - and the advert says worth £1.29 - which is what my loaves scanned at - but the normal Wholemeal is only £1.22 and the high fibre/bran one just £1.28.

Worth a go - if there's a problem I might argue that the reason the coupon is not for a fixed amount and that the SA has to input the value is to allow for it being redeemed against different Warburton's 800g loaves at varying prices.!

I got a couple of Wholemeal High Fibre loaves.
Went through a till with a friendly SA who just put the coupons through.
Warburton's 800g on the coupon - Warburton's 800g loaves in the basket - no problemo.

I put through 10 loaves of bread in a transacion an this caused uproar in our store, wish we had friendly sa's lol!!!
To cut a long story short I had to go to cs with the supervisor who explained everythin to the nice lady there. I stood my ground as they tried tellin me it was 1 per transaction an other things were said an I even offered to put through one at a time take it to the car an come back in again lol. They asked security who said it was 1 per day per customer an I stood my ground again an said it doesnt say that on the voucher an the cs lady even agreed with me.
The manager was called an again after umming and arring he authorised it all. The supervisor turned an walked off not looking happy but I was over the moon with my 10 free loaves lol!!!
I went back in again abit later and got another 10 loaves had a similar problem but not as bad an the same manager came down an authorised it for me lol!!!

The family and ducks and chickens will be eating the bread for weeks lol!!!

Tomorrow we start hittin the coop for the 40 free light bulbs lol!!!!

Thank you to all who post on here. :beer: :j
