Yes its all coming back to me now....I now remember the "hundreds of coupons i used to steal (well they were "free")....(took a full box of 550 one day..on a fishing trip in the Cambridge area....)

One night the security guy stopped me, as he thought i was shoplifting...he took a full box of "quit packs" off me,and gave me 1 back claiming, that "free" meant 1...not the whole box...

Yes HB.....Ive now only got 20 boxes left....mainly Dove now tho....long gone is my Plax lake etc....(i had 600 of those.....down to about 30 now)...I'll have to read through my posts around that time, to remind myself of exciting times...I remember doing 100+ transactions in my surrounding stores in a week...

Good to see you are getting your Tesco mojo back. Oh I remember the days of H&B and what fun it was to walk out of Tesco with about £100 of toiletries that were free and you also got a load of points into the bargain.

You are lucky these days if you get 25 extra points for a £10 spend!:rotfl:

No......no mojo back, can't stand their aggressiveness and dodgy/misleading POS.........just when i DO go in, i feel obliged to come out with something, legally for nothing....

I bought a Karcher Pressure washer tonight in Tesco. It was on the shelf at £89 but went through at £199.
I was refused DTD as they said the ticket offer date expired yesterday and that that DTD is only a goodwill gesture. They only offered the difference back. I wanted the pressure washer anyway but by principle I refused that and said I would speak to CS. Was I right to do so?

You're entitled to a Double The Difference refund. The wording on their policy makes no provision for out of date labels. Don't be fobbed off. Insist that they follow their stated policy.
