Hi is there anyone who would be able to PM me with a copy of the MOC for Finish please? I have looked everywhere with no luck. TIA xx

They took it straight off the website within 24 hours so it's no longer online. Sooner or later it will be blocked by Tesco anyway IMHO, it was another big 'PDF-unlimited-free-money-moc-mistake' by a very naive marketing dept.

You can get the original mocs from a leaflet in Lakeland stores apparently (none near me but you may be lucky?). If and when the moc gets blocked by T though, none of them will work...

Thanks for this...but you are a little late...if you could see into everyones cupboards you'd have a real laugh...when it first hit the shelves it was 2 bottles for £2...so you got 2 x £2 coupons...and guess what? they scanned at Tesco( for a few days) without having to buy the product...can you imagine how much washing-up liquid we managed to get between us...a small warehouse full at least....I bought 2 with mocs..removed coupons, bought 2 more, using 1 coupon making another 2 , plus the one I already had...then did again. and again etc.....result cupboard full of Fairy and getting paid to take it away....great whilst it lasted...
Very much a no-no using it in Asda..........

They are all non-store specific so you can use them in Tesco or Waitrose against your general shopping.

But if you find the boxes, the cheapest way to buy them is to buy them one at a time, open the box, remove the £2 red Huggies newborn moc, use that immediately at the Asda till against the next box, etc., etc.,

Then go home & count your remaining lovely mocs.:D

Thank you,
Are you 'allowed' to do this, only asking incase a supervisor gets called so i know what my 'rights' are as a buyer, i'm not up to date with Asda's policy as i don't normally shop there..

Oh, sorry I misunderstood at first so edited this reply.

You don't have to know Asda's policy. In ANY Supermarket (except LIDL and Netto perhaps) they will accept coupons if you buy the product, which is what you'd be doing. There's nothing else to know, you're not doing anything odd in buying a product and handing over a coupon for that product.

Re Tesco and Waity's coupon policy, if you're not confident with that then you do really need to read the first few posts on this thread with the policies on them. Any newbie should pop back to page one and read the first couple of pages, it will help you feel confident (but you'll still shake like a leaf the first few times...).:D

I don't see a problem with opening the package at the till but if you don't feel comfortable doing it just before you buy it then wait until you have actually paid for it and now it is yours to open when you want!

Because it is Tesco specific!!

Edit: It does say Tesco on the coupon doesn't it?

A Supermarket cannot reclaim the money for another Supermarket's coupon. So they will make a loss from your transaction (not important with just one customer with one £2 moc maybe, but if 50 or 60 customers did the same in your area, or several people repeated it dozens of times, because you posted on here that it was OK...?).

Because this thread is so popular and because most of us know what you can and can't do legitimately, with coupons, we will always pick someone up on anything that could be fraudulent on the part of the customer, and/or which could effect the Tesco/Waitys moc policy.

In your case it's the fraudulent part that applies.
