team 5 is a weekly thing that tesco staff all have to read and sign, like a short weekly newspaper on things happening at tesco iykwim.
i read my local one on monday and nothing bout coupons in it!

BF - does that mean you'll get the next Team 5 next Monday which could say in big letters "NO MORE COUPONS"?

If true, we better all go out with a bang this weekend! .

Don't hang on to those Waitrose £5 vouchers this Saturday.

oh jees. I don't mean to sound really horrible or ungrateful (i love how much coupons have helped me recently) but this is exactly what i thought would get it changed, if the policy was publicised too much. i always thought, if everyone did this then tesco would change their policy really quickly. and it looks like this is whats happened.

Tesco's abuse of their coupons conditions was an open secret amongst manufacturers. Not a lot they could do about it, given Tesco's massively strong position in a buyer's market!

But thanks to this national publicity they've got to show some sort of "ethical" stance!

If it does happen and if it's temporary, then if you value the policy, whatever you do, DON'T shop at Tesco during the ban.

Let them see people vote with their feet.

If everyone takes it on the chin and carries on shopping, Mr T has no incentive to re-introduce the policy in the future.

The HoF £5 printable coupon should help us through these trying times!

I completely agree, if it does stop I would also recommend everyone writes/emails Mr T, explain why they have stopped shopping there, etc, so they take notice!

just about to throw the flyers that came with my redhouse catalogue, noticed one was an elasoplast leaflet with a free plaster and 30p MOC so keep your eyes peeled in case they're in other catalogues!
