    i did 2 shops yesterday. one through the self-serve till (with the help of a cashier), one through normal till, in different stores. both tills accepted the vouchers, both cashiers didn't bat an eyelid (one even tried to put the healthcare one through for me).

    ended up spending £13.34 on 22 bottles/cans and 100 points.

    i found the voucher booklet on the pharmacy counter, underneath a load of other clutter.

    Well done, princess G I am off shortly to spend my vouchers.

    Don't forget if you are at the bigger stores which have the pharmacy counters to not only look out for the vouchers but pick up the free family travel goodie bag from the pharmacy counter.

    Hello guys, just wanted to report on how pleased I was today with my goodies,

    Today I purchased: 2 x nivea wipes, 2 x sunsilk shampoos, 2 imperial leather shower gels, 2 bath foams, 2 lynx showergels

    Also purchased: jamie dodgers BOGOF, the sun newspaper, the mirror, Vaseline 4 men deodrant, iams kitten food, 12 pencils, calculator and a maths set. Sub total was £33.14

    Total multibuy savings - £10.66 = total to pay £22.48 ====
    minus: 5 x £1.00 toiletry vouchers, 2 x £2.50 vouchers, £2.30 in assorted vouchers made the total payable

    £10.18 !!!!!! gaining 302 points (4 x 50 point toiletry vouchers, 50 points for buying iams kitten food and 30 points for buying nivea deodrant plus the 22 points for buying the items) means

    I SPENT £10.18 and received points to spend at MFI to the value of £12.08 - meaning a profit of £1.90 and some lovely Christmas presents.

    Forgot to mention at Tesco Culverhouse Cross at the pharmacy they were out of stock of the goodie bags and did not have any toiletries vouchers.

    When I went to customer services to casually enquire about the toiletry vouchers they said they had never heard of them or received any.

    No spend required on deodrant !!!!

    Whilst at Tescos I observed the most surprising moneysaving ever, a chap walked up, grabbed a mens deodrant spray, walked slightly up the aisle, squirted both armpits and returned to the shelf to put the product back !

    I should have told him my way of getting the products cheaply without having security watching him on cctv.

    Just asked in my huge Tescos about these leaflets only to be told there were none left. Aparently people were taking large amounts away with them, the SA did say, 'They run out next week anyway' as if to say 'it's not worth your while'

    So all you MSErs in Newcastle looks like I'll have to be on my toes:rotfl:

    I agree Dormouse and he certainly didn't create that Lynx effect that I have seen in the adverts !!!!
