    as i said earlier, surely by this you are obtaining goods that the voucher does cover - sounds very similar to obtaining property by deception !!!
    Since they will only accept ONE of each coupon without buying the product ....at worst you are only aiding and abetting a very small crime, or perhaps if the manufacturer isn't chuffed about it, they could just not supply Tesco anymore;)

    You are quite right, though.....I don't think I'll risk it:rolleyes:
    It's nice to be nice .....:beer:
    You HAVE checked google before asking, haven't you?;)

    Coupons are like green shield stamps. In the past Tesco gave green shield stamps on your purchases therefore effectively giving a discount on other products albeit out of the green shield stamp book.:D

    its not so small though when thousands of people start to do it.

    Imagine a bank employee taking a penny out of peoples accounts.:eek:

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I must admit i've always wanted to try using the coupons against something i haven't bought but for some reason i just don't have the bottle. Too scared of refusal cos i feel like i'll go red (still from my childhood:rolleyes:)

    To be honest, i get treat like a criminal everytime i try to use my Healthy Start vouchers so i'm wary of the whole thing anyway.

    Everytime i use my vouchers the checkout assistant prints off a copy of the receipt and sits back with a pen adding up to the penny if i have spent the correct amount on milk or veg, holding up the whole queue and getting me some nice looks from the other customers :rolleyes:
