It would have to be the one I visited most often otherwise it would get lost or forgotten.

i struggled between the one that would make most financial difference to me - ie the place i do my weekly grocery shop, vs one that would allow me to treat myself (not really been able to do that for a couple of years) in the end i went with the boring grocery shop one, due to my current financial situation. under different circumstances, i'd prob go with the treat!

tara747

I'd go for the treat one every time!

For me it'd be M&S as my first choice. Because that means nice food AND nice pants!! Or Tesco...cos then I could get my favourite Grey Goose vodka at a hefty discount as well as various other household bits I'd love.

There are lots of those I'd go for, but I voted Gap purely as that's what would make most difference to me at the moment because I need new jeans (and expensive as they are their Long and Lean jeans fit me like a dream). Second choice would be M&S for nice food and new undies.

I'd probably be more likely to go for clothes over food at the moment personally due to being in the middle of sorting out my wardrobe, but different strokes for different folks, which is why I think the timing of these vouchers is key depending on your personal needs at the time.

No surprise to see supermarkets doing well though, considering how much food shopping eats into your budget, especially if you've got a family to feed.

Seems on the poll a lot have gone the food way like I did but oh what fun I would have with 40% off at Body Shop!

Blahah

Just went for the one which gave me the biggest choice of products.

I went for Boots because I can give it as birthday/Christmas presents to people I know who would want items from that shop. If I kep them myself for a treat I'd choose M&S, Argos, New Look or for basic money-saving functionality - Tesco or Asda.

I went for Tesco, despite my issues with the shop (and its connections to Dame Shirley Porter). I could've easily gone for Asda or any other shop that 'sold everything'. 40% off clothing; white goods; technology; Books; DVDs etc without being tied to a narrow range of products. That would save money for me!

ladybird23

I'd go for Asda as I'd then have 40% cash spare to spend at any other shops I fancy & could be split between several if liked.
