    Are you not still using the Quickread vouchers Welshy? Only one Tesco near me has refused these point blank and I've tried several different cashiers!

  • so the toilitries vouchers are still going through, i thought that they expired.
  • hiya Saint_chris some of the toiletry vouchers expire around 24/9 these are the ones I use. The other toiltery ones do not scan anymore.

    Yes I do still use the quick read vouchers they are accepted both at 2 local tescos and one asda, this is great as I save abit using them now that my stocks are low

    Hiya Welshie. I still have a few quick read vouchers too. I may have asked you this b4 but how many can you get away with using in one go? I've only ever used one - too scared to try more atm.

    Cheers, my welsh friend ;)
  • I try hand over a maximum of 3 of any duplicate voucher and they are 9 times out of 10 accepted. So far no cashier has read me the riot act - if they do not accept them, I say no problem and keep them for next time

    Thanks Welshie, you're a star! My next mission is to see what my local Tesco's makes of my vouchers printed off the internet. There's a first for everything!

    Hi kellywelly,
    I posted some info about finding coupons on the previous page of this thread, post number 224 I think, if that helps.

    I am chuffed because today I went to a Tesco I had never tried before (because I did not know it was there, it's in a town I don't know very well, which seems a long way away but it only took a 10 min drive!).

    Anyway, not only did the young cashier girl say 'any coupons at all are OK as long as they scan' (getting my £15 shop down to 56p!!) I had also managed to pick up 2 lots of Finest Gammon which were overpriced per kg (tip off from the Tesco misprices thread).

    So I paid 56p for my shopping and got around £6 cashback, full refund for the overprices. Didn't even use any more petrol than if I had visited my usual 'out-of-town' Tesco, where they know my face a bit too well on the CS desk! :rotfl:
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

  • Good RESULT Coupon-mad but I must admit if I pass alot of vouchers over I do try not to go to CS at all. If they see how many vouchers I have redeemed I think that they will clock me next time at the tills and at the appropriate moment jump in and say NO !!!

    Did 2 small shops today to get till spills - looked for a young cashier but no success so went to an older chap. anyway, he refused my quick read vouchers but accepted other ones, not complete failure but I would have liked the extra money off although I did get 3 till spills

    However, I did redeem one olay voucher at asda so had £5 off my bill today too so not all bad.

    Whilst I post my successes - there are times too when I just put my vouchers away and use them another time.

    Yes, I noticed that I had been overcharged for something the other day, but after handing over £30 of Quick Reads over in Tesco, I daren't go do the R&R thing.

    How can they give you your money back when you didn't pay for it in the first place?

    I think I push my luck a lot in the first place!

    Good luck to you though if you can get away with it!!!! :T
