Updated Printable Money off Coupons & Policies Thread 12 (and chat)

Bedtimebear

Hi,

Thank you, all for your comments, I will email them tomorrow to confirm the rules are for my local store. This a great shame for Tesco if they no longer accept these vouchers in there stores, as unintended muse said Morrisons and Sainsburys take them no problems. I also today gave my local Sainburys a ring and then popped in they accepted all my vouchers no problems, thank you to Sainburys:j.
Thanks once again everyone for your advice.:beer:

Hi everyone. I've done a couple of coupon runs this weekend.
Went to S's Friday, got 2 free Milks, used 2 x 75p of Comfort Naturals (1.5litre bottle on offer at £2), £1 off Countryfile mag (leaflet not a printable), 4 x 40p off Kettle multipacks, 4 x 30p off Slendips for £5.38 off. Also got some lovely Cornish Brie on a BOGOF - so much nicer than the French stuff :rotfl:. Cost £16.
Went to T's yesterday, Got 2 more Dove Roll on (only 2 on the shelf - who keeps clearing it :eek:.) SA took 2 x BOGOF's off me :T and a £2.50 Farm Foods. When I got home noticed they had overcharged 75p on a top for FD which had been reduced from £8 to £4.75 so popped in this morning on way to allotment and got my DTD £1.50 no problem without having to ask. Didn't use any other coupons, I was with OH .
Been a lovely day today.....

Real Food magazine in Tesco - coupons

When I went to tesco the other day some people were giving away small boxes of the new Cheerio cereal, she gave me 8 boxes, (6 boxes when I went in and another 2 when I came out), but they did not have any coupons on the boxes.

I notice from recent posts that some Tescos is still taking FarmFoods vouchers.
Please could someone look at their receipts to see how they put these coupons through as my local won't take them anymore :mad: because they don't scan.

Yesterday I even showed them my recent e-mail from Head Office confirming that they should be taken, but they say that their store loses the money if they take these non-scan coupons.

I tried to point out that they also couldn't recoup the other conditional spends, but they said as long as they scan, they put them on their new conditional spend button (this button does not accept non-scan coupons)and they get sent off to India with all the other NSS coupons and the store doesn't lose out.

Reading between the lines, it seems that Tescos are covering the cost of these conditional spends by using the handling fees they get from their NSS coupons. I've no doubt they would have managed this pre Black Friday, but wonder how long this could last now.......

It would be interesting to find out how other stores cope with this problem.

I shall be contacting Head Office again, as IMHO their policy on Conditional Spends does not specify that the coupon must have a barcode, so therefore they should come up with a solution that enables the stores to accept them.

I've just checked my receipt from yesterday and my £2.50 Farm Foods went through as Competitor Coupon. The SA just presses the appropriate button on the till - never a problem recently, they just put it through no questions asked.

Hi,

I just wanted to query something with you all, you mentioned using Farm Food Vouchers in Tesco I have loads and never use them, so if I spend over £25 in Tesco they will give me £2.50 off , if I give them my farm foods voucher?



Thanks, naomi

Every store I use them in put them through as non scan other and type in the amount of the coupon.;)

That's right!! If you spend £75 you can use the £2.50 and the £5 Farmfood. Today I used the 1st £10 off £80 spend at Waitrose and a £2.50 Farmfoods!!!:j
