    That was a great shopping result but not my best. For the first week of this month I had £261.25 for £1.04! :D I'd love to have a week for under a pound so that is what I strive for every time I shop!!;)


    Correct me if I am wrong Sher60 :o, Am I right to say that you shop 4 different stores on the same day (once a week ) in order to add up the total of £261.25. :D

    You can't photocopy the couponnet ones. There's something on them - I think probably in the dotty scrambled rectangle bit near the top on the right, that means any photocopies come up completely black. I know someone who tried to do them at work, so they've at least managed to put a block on that side of things, which is good.
    Yep you are right, I had a discussion with a SA about this a while back and that was one of the things that was mentioned that they check for, but there are apparently other ways that some people manage to get round either copying them or forging them.

    I asked at cs desk instore last weekend and was told you could use more than one of each DM moc in a transaction as long as the min spend was met and so far since doing this we have not had any probs other than the odd one not scanning which cs refund you for no probs :D:D:D:D

    Also our local T's accept the Lidl vouchers no probs :D:D:j:j:j
    I thought it was only 1 of each DM moc in a transaction and had been wanting to stock up on my freezer stuff so all week I have been trying to break it down into as near as I can a £5 spend on frozen stuff each day. Then I read last night on here that somebody had used 2 in a transaction (thank you whoever it was) so thought I would try it today. My Shampoo/conditioner etc is on multibuy so got 6 lots of it which pre multibuy would have been £22.60 (£15 on multibuy) so used 2 DM £2.50 off £10 H&B plus I had a £3.50 moc which Revlon sent me cos I actually bought some Mitchum deodrants when I had some of their mocs and they were rubbish - they just snapped as soon as you used them.

    Glad i checked the newpaper thread before setting off to T's. Got an extra £5.90 off from the Sunday Star.

    A cashier that new the policy too.

    And best of all, it was Sunday at 3.30pm, so nearly all the fresh food was at giveaway prices. Filled my freezer in an instant.

    For tea today, Tech had everything - cos it only had todays date on. :D

    Evening everyone :), hope you are all well?

    Had a really good day at Mr T's today. I left it a wee bit late and arrived at 15.20 and left at 15.56 :eek::eek:

    I used the last of my Daily Mail coupons, £5 Clothing, £5 Farmfoods and £5 Lidl plus other MOC's and I got a £53.75 shop for £1.10 - so pleased :T:T

    How did you manage to use a farm foods and a lidl conditional spend? I thought that to use both you had to meet the minimum spend for both added together so £50 for farmfoods plus £30 for lidl?

    I have got some farmfoods ones plus sainsbury plus lidl if I buy the paper so if I could combine them I could get £5 plus £4 plus £5 off a £50 shop.

    Hi crumpetman

    I think it all really depends on the cashier you choose tbh in my experience.

    I also used today £5 lidl £5 daily mail and £2.50 farmfoods all on the one shop amongst other mocs as well.

    Hi crumpetman (cool name :p)

    I have been informed by my local that you can go up in multiples i.e. to use 2 x £5 off £30 spend you need to spend £60.

    Used £5 off wys £25 DM - I spent £26
    Used £5 off wys £30 LIDL - I spent over £50
    Used £5 off wys £50 FF - I spent over £50 (I could have used 2 x £2.50 if I had them)

    I hope that makes sense for you!!

    That's what I was trying to get at though, if you have a £5 farmfoods with a min spend of £50 and a £5 lidl with a min spend of £30 then you should have to spend £80 to use them both.

    I am just trying to see if they definitely should work together without having to spend to two minimums added together as I don't have a lot of other MOCs to use and it would not make sense for me to do a £50 shop if I could not use them all at the same time.
