    Hello All

    Not posted for a while so thought i'd say hi!
    GFS tickets I bought with clubcard arrived last week cant wait, the others that I paid for over the phone are yet to arrive they said beginining of october they are issued.
    Today I did some shopping at Sainsburys as alot of the baby coupons recently I have wanted to buy the product plus I had £4 off £40 spend. Anyway the 50% of nature care nappies had to be input manually at £3 off, when I got home and checked my receipt the CA had input the coupon for £30!?! what should I do?! Mithered with the baby I didn;t even realise at the til xx

    I've always gone back in such situations, but being nice gets you nowhere in this world.

    The coupon itself is fine, and Sainsburys don't allow coupons without buying, so nothing much to spoil. But the till will be £27 down. I don't know how far big supermarkets go into chasing up such amounts.

    Anyone on here worked at one?

    In this case, I would definitely go back to the shop. It is possible that the the CA could be in trouble with that big a discrepancy. The fact that you are asking the question, seems to me, that you have doubts about keeping the profit from the error!

    Can I also point out that everyone seems to refer 99% of the time to coupon use in Tesco - there must be more out there like me who live miles from the nearest Tesco - Waitrose is far closer for me personally, and they have a good coupon policy. They also stock most of the magazines to which the mag coupons related...
    And whether I try my coupons in Waitrose or Tesco, I prefer not to get into an argument if they are refused, I think this is just as likely to get coupon usage stopped,.

    Hear, hear.

    Just interested, does your Waitrose take multiples & as many coupons as you have? Mine has for the last few weeks but not sure if it is widespread policy. There seems to have been a lot of activity at my store with many "suits" wandering around and even more attention to keeping the place clean and up to scratch - not that it has ever been anything but a pleasant place to shop.

    Up until the beginning of this year my local Waitrose took 2 of each coupon and you could pay for all of your shopping if you wanted to. Then after Christmas they changed to only accepting up to 10% of the shop so I don't bother anymore as their prices are dearer anyway.

    Good morning people :D
    I seem to be the first this morning - haven't posted much lately - been a bit busy with FD.
    Anyway, when she went to bed last night took the kids on a flying visit to T's before Krusty and Phil and managed to get £26 off. They only let me have 3 internets (seems to be a definite rule now) but had a few non-internets and some cider, etc. till split/splits, Daily Mail - so well pleased. Then what did I get but another £5 off Strongbow / Becks / Stella - that's 5 I've had now. Did they get a load that fell off the back of a lorry? - they are really pushing it. I now have a cider amd Stella lake in the garage to join all the other lakes and mountains. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    I got this For my Mam a few weeks when it was on offer at T's for £39.99 & £5 postage .. Got 88 clubcard points alltogether.. Got her 3 sets of compatable ink from ebay for total £8.48 (Now £7.99from same seller). Also got me 3 sets for my R240 From same seller for £6.49.. And they are same at the ones i was getting from Cartridge People for more..

    The probs I have is my boss will not let me purchase compatable cartridges. We always go for genuine cartridges for all our office machines. I forgot to mention that the genuine epson that cost £5 each albeit multi pack of £20 comes with free postage. Sometime compatable cartridges are not as cheap as consumers thought. You have to know the quantity of the ink in the cartridge on their (the sellers) description - ie : it is no use, if they just list it as "full cartridge ink" - it could mean anything. Whereby if I purchase Epson Cheetah (5.5ml) or Epson Monkey (3.5ml) I know what quantity I'll get as it comes with its original packaging. If it doesn't come with its original packaging I dont buy it.
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)
