    I live for today - so if it's banned tomorrow - c'est la vie & I'll move on - nothing lasts forever, like Tesco R&R, but it was good while it lasted.

    That is a typical attitude of people in this country, "screw you Jack I'm alright" - very sad indeed. Don't you realize that by your actions of using coupons in Tesco's that are not allowed you are jeopardizing the policy to be changed and everyone loses out not just you! I sure hope you don't shop in any of the stores I use as I really need to use coupons!!

    Likewise simple no coupons no food as far as I am concerned & no doubt more & more as each day passes.

    Im going to make a confession (sort of). My Tesco is very coupon friendly. In the last few months I have used about two thousand pounds of coupons and this is not a wind up. In one particular week I have used about two hundred and fifty pounds worth. I just pay pennies for my shopping. I split my shopping into fifteen, twenty or more transactions and end up paying pennies. I do a few trips, doing about four or five transactions in each turn. The whole shopping trip takes about two hours. Today I paid two pounds seventy for over eighty five pounds of shopping. Most of my coupons are sourced from the internet, though I occasionally buy off ebay.


    I believe you & I know it happens, my neighbour works for Tesco, she & her brother shop 5 days x 2 @ her local branch, 3-4 times a week at the other 2 different Tesco still wearing her tesco uniform so that other branch cashier will not question her coupons. She save at least £300/£400 a week & like you paid pennies - Jealous? yes, but there is nothing we consumer can do, it is part of the advantage of being a Tesco staff. Good on you if you can save as much as you can.:money:
