Evening everyone

Am really devastated to hear about this change in policy, but have one quick question. Does anyone know if you actually buy the product, can you still use two coupons? Tia

Gotta say personally I blame Martin Lewis for this one. We was all going along swimmingly until his latest appearance on GMTV. Even with the Clowne store fiasco, T's were going to ride that one and take a hit. As it was stuck out in the open to glorify himself on the back other peoples' hard work albeit on his website, don't seem right to Mad.

very much agreed. there may be people abusing the coupons but it is easy enough to stop if staff are well-educated. no one could have put a stop to what Martin did.

Does anyone know if they are still taking other stores' conditional spend £5 off £30 vouchers etc? I have some double up cc wine vouchers to use sometime before xmas and want to use them to best effect

just been to local t,s they have signs up on till no longer taking coupons.
did a small shop and managed to use farmfoods coupon, then went to cs and asked about £5 waitrose coupon in tomorrows sun, they said they are still accepting these.girl on cs was gutted about policy saying it was :money:fault for spouting off on tv.
but have to agree with many of you that too many people have abused the coupons and i don't think this has helped.
So for next week its a £30 shop with waitrose and £2.50 ff voucher, if they let me use them in the same transaction.
Gonna have to get me chav outfit out and start going to asda:o:o for a cheaper shop.
RIP TESCO

I'm just glad the only coupons I have left now are nappies & toilet rolls which I will use on correct products

just heard today that tesco will now only take coupons if you buy the product.

I think it's been heading this way for a while we all knew it, but I think we all hoped when it did change it would be a restriction of 50% say or a ban on internet prints.
Clearly Martin and Pedigree/Smart MOC's have meant drastic action was taken, I did warn and so did others about the Pedigree MOC's, unfortunately despite me PMing a few peeps who kept posting links and others who kept PMing them they chose to ignore me and didn't even have the curtiosy to reply.
Anyway I will be emailing to find out what is going on ie is it a trial, will there be a new policy? etc and that I'll be off to Asda.
I will still be going to the GFS for the freebies and fun but also for the MOC's the ones I can use to buy the product the rest will go on Ebay to sell to Waity's customers.

can I just ask, didnt know at the time when they were mentioned and still don't....what are mag coupons?

A little while back there were a whole load of 'Archant' publishers coupons for specialist magazines that were worth about £2 off each time, but as it was obvious that Tesco didn't sell these mags in large quantities and therefore would not be reimbursed, most people decided not to use them.

Unfortunately not everyone thought the same way and some stores were hit quite badly by loads of these coupons. :eek:
