first post in the thread has the latest coupons, always up to date, and the policies for each shop

some shops insist that you buy the item other will take it even if you have not , some limit the maximum value of coupons on a shop , some like the co-op do not seem to like taking them at all

Also check the daily newspaper thread & magazine threadsasthey list what mocs are available in those.Forget the ok mag moc as it is no longer accepted in Tesco, is though in waitrose if you shop there.

Hi welcome here, yes you can use coupons at the SS I dont personally though, I usually choose a till with a young cashier. After using coupons for a while you will get to recognise the cashiers that take them with no probs. Perhaps you should start by just going in and taking a small amount say up to 5 coupons and see how you get on - hand them over with your Tesco card smile and look confident.

Your best bet is to get your mocs printed off and go into the shop and try as each tesco is different, ask one of the staff on the self serve what you can actually put through.

SandDancer general rule of thumb is that in A you need to buy the item to use the coupon however in T the policy is they will redeem them against anything.
Every store differs, some don't allow any MOC, some only a % of the shop & others a max of ? MOC per shop.
The only way to know for sure is to either ask at CS & hope they don't look at you as if you're from outer space or do a shop & see what happens once you hand them over.
You'll get the hang of it, they'll get the hang of you, then it'll all change !!! Sods law!

BLUEWKD sorry to hear about you MOC loss. I am guessing that you pretty much covered for replacements but I have CIF, Cow & Gate & Finish to offer you should you need them, see my pile is probably worse than yours, you're feeling better now aren't you!
