How much do you save on your shopping using coupons?

Agree with you again Felicity on this,

30 quick reads - well done on that score I think my maximum is between 3-5 of any duplicate voucher.

The less CS know me the better - Welshy x

There is one girl at our Tesco that DOESN'T EVEN COUNT how many vouchers you give her, she just asks, scans one and then inputs that amount!

I hope nobody takes advantage of her and she gets into trouble as she is my favourite assistant at the moment and wouldn't like to see her put in a position where she is supervised more closely!

She is alway telling me about how Tesco underpay her all the time and she is sick of her job!!!! Should start telling her the merits of working for such a wonderful company ..... well I don't want her to leave!

yes I have someone like too although he is hunky and a lovely chap too !! another tesco employee was telling me how their partner checks the misprice thread regularly and gets R&R's all the time - they mentioned moneysavingexpert before I had got my vouchers out !

I see what you mean, I don't know why the CS did not comment on my coupon-use but she didn't! I think I felt braver because it was a new store for me where I am not known...yet.:rotfl:

Seriously, though, if you have coupons accepted then you have paid. In my case I paid in coupons and cash (albeit not much cash) so she could hardly refund me in coupons I suppose!

I've had R&Rs where my coupons take up half the receipt, and CS have never commented on that. Guess they're more preoccupied with the actual overcharge at the time

That reminds me, CS have only commented about my coupon-use once, and it was quite funny. I took something back (not an R&R) may have been manky meat or something, I never throw it away as I'm always able to get to a Tesco and get my money back!

Anyway, the young CS lad showed my receipt to a colleague, they whispered, and then he pointed at the coupon-lengthened receipt and said, 'erm, just thought I should mention that our coupon policy is one per transaction'.

I smiled and pointed to the Tesco store address at the top of the receipt, which was for a nearby store. 'I know your policy on coupons' I replied, 'that's why I go out of my way to go to xxxx store who will accept any amount'. How funny, he was so blinded by the coupon-use he couldn't even see it wasn't from his branch! :rotfl:

Other than that, no probs with coupon-use and R&R combined. If challenged you could always say you had bought most of the items........they would be most unlikely to check that (unless it was you Welshy, in your anti-coupon store!).

funny thing re my anti-coupon store is that last week they had self-scanning machines installed which accept 10% off in vouchers

now do I

a) go to a self-scan checkout and have 10% off my bill

or

b) go to a cashier and be refused any vouchers

choices - choices !!!

Hi guys, I am sorry if this is posted somewhere, tried hard to find with no joy - where do you get the quick read vouchers that several people have mentioned? - many thanks.

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.

They were being sent out in their hundreds for free after World Book Day in March, but they are not sending them out now. Welsh-Dragon posted the original link, loads of people got them. I only got free pencils, erasers, etc. which I gave to my kids' primary school.

But you can buy them on eBay, I did and have over 200 to use up by the end of the year. It only cost a few quid, thought I would buy them as I like to have different vouchers in my stash depending on the store's policy.
