    Does anybodys finish coupon actually scan, i don't know if it is my printer, but mine have never scanned, the number always has to be inputted..

    I've only used them a couple of times at Mr T's and always had to be inputted either manually or with the hand-held scanner. But on Saturday, all 10 of mine were scanned no problems at Sainsburys. So don't know if Sainsburys scanners are better readers. I have found at Mr T's before that it also depends on what checkout you go to - I can print a batch of the same coupons and they will scan at one checkout ok, but not at another.

    ooohhh how much are they in Sainsburys? and for what size?
    They are £1.80 for a 10 pack until tomorrow but if you look out for the ones with the 2 extra free, they went through at £1.70 at my Sainsburys (they were right at the back of the top shelf though :rotfl:

    Mine have always scanned which ever shop I have been in. I do make sure that I alway set my printer to print "Best" quality though.

    Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh :eek:
    DO NOT PHOTOCOPY COUPONS EVER - Please (Coupon Abuse)
    Just print them legitimately and on Best Quality setting and you should have no problems.
    I know it's your first post so sorry - you just need to make sure you follow the 'Rules' and it will mean the coupons will continue to be accepted for longer.
    This is from page 1 of this thread: Q: What constitutes ‘abuse’ of the coupon policy?
    A: Examples of abuse are: using out-of-date coupons; splitting shopping into several loads and using duplicate coupons on the same day; photocopying or scanning coupons. Abuse may result in the store taking action against you personally (eg banning you) and ultimately may affect the coupon policy for all coupon users.

    I have enough to wash the dishes for the whole street and some I think, but as the offer ends in Sainsburys tomorrow I must get one last visit in,

    I already had loads, a month ago I ran out so my mam got me some in Makro, then I got a couple of till spits in T's for some, then I won some in a Fairy comp, then nextdoors dishwasher broke they they decided not to replace it and gave me a large amount of tablets, now with my addiction to Finish MOC's I think I have about an 8 year supply :eek: but I too am compelled to make one more trip.
    AKA: PC

    Rest in Peace Fred the Maddest Muppet in Heaven :heart:

    Only probs with this is that not all stores will accept photocopies...I know mine won't unless they are full colour photocopies and then I suppose they can't tell the difference..neither black & white photocopies, nor black & white prints are acceptable at all the Tescos in my area.
