Never been to Lidle, Aldi (me too ), Netto etc (heard stories of long queues, and not many staff on:eek:) - You heard right, they normally have 2 checkouts open & the Q's are not that long when I go in after 4pm everytime, as for different hours I dont know) .

You forgot Somerfield, if it is also close by 2 u - there are some good bargains as well - check their website before doing your shopping then you can enroute your shops with diff supermarket.

in my other post you were thanked because at that time it was not known that the pedigree coupons would become a problem coupon policy killer.

Regardless of what the self-appointed coupon police :A have said, it's still not known that the pedigree (or magazine) coupons were the reason for Tesco ending the policy.

I prefer hard facts, but all I've read so far is speculation and gossip. The only ones privy to the real reason behind the policy ending are certainly not gonna post about it on here.

may i ask that you also put up the posts that asked you not to post links to the mag coupons and your replys to those posts!

Bit pointless given the arguments that all caused. Besides, I'd be here all night!

i also used the pedigree coupons as my springer spaniel dennis actually eats the stuff, i wont apologise for using a coupon to buy a product i actually use, the problem came when people used these coupons willy nilly!

and if proof needed i actually own a dog pm me and you can happily see him

Don't worry - I believe you!

On another note, I have just filled in a regular survey where I have to state where I do my main and top up shops. Up till now I have always ticked Tesco as my main shop - I have now changed it to ASDA.

Think I did that survey this morning too - I changed to ASDA as well.

After the first post I PMed you very politely asking you to remove it as I was worried about the consequences of the high value, and the fact unlimited copies could be printed, unfortunately you chose to ignore me and leave it (then repost later!) and didn't even have the courtesy to respond to my PM.
It may seem petty me posting this now and I didn't intent to but when you so innocently write that you only posted it twice and everyone was so grateful "look how many thanks I got", I couldn't bite my tongue any longer.

PC - this is the message you sent me

Hi Dave,
I am hoping you will remove your post with the Pedigree coupons listed, lots on the thread had worked it out by just changing the numbers of the end of the original puppy ones but no-one had posted them. Added up inc the other PDF's they total £30 the gangs in van's will hammer these and will print 100 copies of each all with the same pin(so unredeemable by T's) There is a genuine chance these coupons could end coupons at Tesco's on a national scale.
I hope you agree and remove them, regardless I will not be discussing this on the thread.

After all the aggro I had on the previous thread, and saying I wanted to draw a line under everything, I thought your message was preachy and I didn't like being asked to remove a link to perfectly legitimate coupons by someone who advertised Pedigree coupons in her own link on Post 1.

And you've still happily got some of these in Post 1 as at a few minutes ago:-

Pedigree Puppy £1.68 + £1.79 + £1.30 (register a Small breed) [added 26 Aug] (EXP 2 WEEKS)
http://www.uk.pedigree.com/puppy.aspx?Id=4-1

Pedigree Puppy 59p (Use registered details from above) [added 2nd Sept] (EXP 2 WEEKS)
www.uk.pedigree.com/puppycoupon172.aspx

I honestly ignored you rather than enter into an argument.

I read on another thread that Morrisons accept an amount without purchase of the items...i've never heard of this before, has anyone else? I will ask next time i go there and report back.

Jax - I've not read good things about Morrisons taking coupons, so I'd be a bit careful, don't want to cause a scene for yourself.

Went to my fave T's first thing and gotta say it was pretty quiet! Normally by 10am peeps are queuing to go through the checkouts but most were empty :j National policy fixed to each checkout blah blah blah so maybe coincidence hopefully not!

Tried my 'Big' T's that was 10% only and whereas you normally have to queue to get into the car park got straight in and about 20% car parking spaces free, coincidence, again hopefully not. Didn't shop but all checkouts looked pretty quiet so long may that continue.........Gonna give me nearest Waity's a call tomorrow to see if they want me business, here's hoping :cool: the second nearest is 10% so with a 25 mile round trip it isn't worth it......

I hope we can keep this thread going with 'real' news from now on and obviously will post any new finds as and when. Sorry for all those who depended on moc's, it was always more about the 'sport' for me and getting OT's to capitulate to me moc's than money saving, that was just a billy bonus which is why I stayed away from the Pedigree's except one lot for my 'puppy' (Who is now no longer with us ) - I did hope that stores would stop taking them locally rather than a national change but sadly it obviously got all too much. I have a email from TL only last week when I got my other Extra to start taking all again after they stopped, even got an apology from the manager/CSM but I think ML on GMTV probably tipped the balence :mad:

Hopefully in a months time T's will have reconsidered and bring back a Clubcard/percentage thing (50% would be nice ), I have always used my CC as I did not 'Knowingly' present any that they could not get their money back on so I will be using the CC vouchers for the time being as we never use them other than occasional outings to the zoo and clothes when the double up was running for DD clothes so as they were basically from vouchers anyway not great shakes to me.

Here endeth the lesson!! Apart from saying Shop Smarter folks, there is a life outside T's if you are lucky enough to have a viable choice......Sadly I don't think I have :mad:

Hi everyone. I have been a member for years but never posted before. I have used this site for many things including MOCs. I live near both Willenhall and Dudley T's and the scenes last week at both were shocking. At one point Dudley had to turn away legitimate customers as it was over capacity, due to the massive influx of gangs using pedigree vouchers. Seriously, had there been a fire or other incident I believe people would have died in the crush. I think this has made a change in policy inevitable.

Also, please don't call me a Lurker etc. as I have enjoyed reading all of your posts for a long time, and had a chuckle at some. I have never had reason to post before, as if I did find a MOC someone else always posted it before me.

The links on the 1st page were not my own they were posted on the thread 3 weeks ago, and transfered to the 1st page, they did'nt contain the £3.80 that T's do not sell or the £6.89 that they will sell very few of and would attract the gangs I did toy with taking them off but decided they had a) been there along time b) there was only 3 not about 40 that were in your post and c) not so high value to attract the gangs.
If it was a case of "I'll only take mine off if you take yours off" you should have said so I'd have obliged.

Please refrain from requesting the exchange of personal details either on the forum, via PM or email; particularly for the purposes of selling/trading/exchanging/swapping or giving as gifts

Ooh.... I hate wasting money
