    I tried this trick on Christmas Eve when I had done my Christmas extras shopping, handed him my somerfield coupons and he said 'oh, I dont know what these are, I'll just check' then called his supervisor :o but luckily he said I could use one. Quickly found the Five pound one - better than nothing.

    The middle aged lady who served me yesterday wouldnt accept any :(

    Have used the young male SA's the last 2 times & got the Somerfield vouchers thru,bar the Cragganmore Whisky one which bleeps & is not accepted.Got £23 off a £35 shop today,got in a conversation with him & he was a student working there over the xmas holiday...RESULT !!:D
    "I took her to a supermarket,I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere" :cool:

    I think it depends, so far this week I have had a whole bunch worth £40 taken, no questions, then a flat refusal to take any, then they said only one, then flat refusal, then today they said they would only take two ....lucky I had split the shopping :p I think its just pot luck, but it seems people have more luck doing smaller shops little and often.

  • Any clubcard experts around that can tell me how many clubs you can join with clubcard? Like Healthy living, baby, wine etc?
    Can we join them all? (Notice people selling their points coupons and such ike on ebay)
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p
  • Hi

    I did a £22 shop in tesco this evening and paid just 8p, just trying to get rid of my quick read vouchers and vouchers from times.
  • Yippeeee.....finally got rid of all my Quick Read vouchers and still with one day to go!!!

    £58 shop down to £18, I'm a very happy bunny!
  • Where do you all get your vouchers from? My printer is on the blink so I can't print off the internet ones. I see on Ebay people selling huge amounts of them? I've tried emailing companies and asking for them but haven't had any success so far.
    Cos I don't shine if you don't shine.
