    You all make it sound so easy! I didn't realise you all had trial and error too!
    And truth be told I miss you...

    Thanks for taking time to reply CW. I guess I was being a bit greedy as the store I visited last week will only accept 50% MOCs and I had enough to pay for all my stuff tonight so thought i'd try a different store. That'll teach me!:o:rolleyes:

    I'll not be back there!! I'm still a wee bit p*ssed at the managers attitude. He looked at me as if i'd sprouted a 2nd head!!


    Hi vaz

    we have all been treated like this honestly, you get used to it and learn to ignore it to some degree.

    Some SA's are so rude they glare at you as though you are a criminal, like you are passing fake money or something. The thing to do is ignore it and find a different store.

    The one I won't go to anymore was the supermarket I had been using for at least 12 years. They used to take coupons, but then I only ever had the odd one out of magazines or something.

    I now go to a different Tesco's Express. Every now and then an assistant or a supervisor will get in a strop and reject coupons, but I just go back again and pick a different SA. works for me and I have saved hundreds of pounds offf my shopping bill.

    Anyway good luck next time

    hiya
    just an update on my printer. i disconnected it from laptop and connected to PC and went through there to change cartridges and they worked fine. printing is fine too. cant understand why it wouldnt recognise ink through laptop or by printer by itself.
    Also i ordered a replacment printer from amzon on friday and thats arrived this morning i put in the competible inks and its working fine .will send the previous printer back

    SandDancer maybe if you conect your printer to a difrent laptop/pc might work too. :)

    I also got this today, but the only thing in my envelope was the cow?! DD really liked it though, but I was dissapointed that there were no MOC's.:confused:


    I got mine through today as well minus MOCs and cow - it was the only reason I applied for it
    Opinions are like ar*eholes - everybody has one!!!! :D

    So you only got an envelope, I call that a bit mean...:mad:
  • Had a good-ish shop today. As a bonus Branston beans (on offer 3 for £1) were scanning at 3 for 14p. The multi buy reduction was being applied twice so instead of 68p off each deal, it was knocking off 68px2. I'm guessing this is nationwide.

    Hi all' and vas

    This happened to me today aswel, and yet, this is a store i visit every week. CA said they had had a memo last week that NO INTERNET coupons were to be accepted (i used £10 worth on wed in this store) Still, i will go back and have another try.

    HTH

    i am now deflated and dreading my weekend shop:o. Is this normal in some stores? Is it just hit and miss? What would you all have said??

    this has happened to mostly everyone on this thread at some time or another.
    Is there another store you could try?
    Each store should follow the national policy but most follow their own hybrid version[/QUOTE]

    You really must try again, as you can actually save a fortune, but I dont know if this has been mentioned to you but it definitely pays to go to a young cashier that is under 20 if poss they are much more likely to accept all your coupons without querying them.
