    I have given up shopping at Tescos due to the way I have been treated recently whilst trying to use completely genuine coupons that my local store have taken many times.

    This has been building up for a while but this week was the final straw when they refused to accept the £5 off £30 shop at Morrisons coupon from The Sun despite having taken it for the previous 4 weeks. After a showdown with the checkout supervisor, I emptied all my packed shopping back into the trolley and walked out. I have written a letter of complaint to the Manager, but doubt he will bother to reply.

    Went shopping at my local Asda today and boy was it a breath of fresh air. I might not be able to use my coupons or collect Clubcard points but most things I buy appear to be cheaper than Tesco and the staff appear to care about the customer.

    Goodbye Tesco...........it's been fun (not)!!!

    Thanks to all that have supplied the coupons I have been using, it has been a great help.

    I did the same in Junuary and boycotted Tesco for 6 weeks. Sainsbury and Asda near me were a breath of fresh air too. It felt great to be treated as valued customer and never have my coupons questioned (i had to buy the items - well almost) but as with the free quantum last month at Sainsbury and the Triple Velvet rolls of 16 that were just £2.00 with coupon at Asda, there were still ways to get a bargain.

    Only after a successful week of free shopping while on holiday at a different Tesco, did i return to my local store. Since then, apart from one incident with an old trout (who now watches me every day with her evil eye), its been worth it, as i have had a very good run since then, and upped my coupon use.

    Today i got £40 of shopping free, and thats not to be sniffed at. I just make sure i give as good as i get, and must admit, i enjoyed leaving my shopping behind too.

    Now i'm more likely to just switch store than leave altogether, as its worth it in the end. But once the coupons end - i will be out of Tesco's in a flash.

    If they have a policy - they should stick to it and enforce it across the board. Hiding behing 'managers discretion' has been a massive kop out, and left a lot of customers with a bitter taste in their mouth.

    30p off Aunt Bessies Homestyle Chips
    Valid for 2 weeks after printing

    I've printed out 1 and it says my limit hasn't been reached yet
    Valid email is required as you need to join Aunt Bessies club:
    http://www.auntbessies.co.uk/club/register/

    Not sure if this has been posted, I might have missed it, but it says *new* next to it so I thought I'd post it (did I include everything?)

    Thanks for this, but already on 1st page (added on 1 July). Keep searching though - your efforts are greatly appreciated!! :T

    PS Just thought I would add that this one doesn't actually require a valid email address, because once you register you are taken straight to print the coupons (what I mean is there's no validation via email required). Obviously, if you make up a mickey mouse email address to register then it's best to remember it and use it again each time you log in (to save you re-registering with another bogus email every time).

    My mum has a car but had recently had to stop driving for medical reasons. We take her car so its win win all round. I save my petrol:o, and she gets me to take her to the shops (i throw in a few coupons!!);)(and we both get to enjoy each others company!)

    Before we were married me and my DH worked in Safeway as students. He said he used to hate people like me with all their coupons (so did I actually!). Different story now I have bills to pay!
