Spend so much and get money off?????

elisebutt65

Is it just me or does anyone ever find that they 'can't ' spend the minimum amount for most of these vouchers???


Like I got one for Tesco's the other day - £5 off for a spend of £75 and Waitrose - £15 off £90.

But I can ever only spend about 30-40 quid a time for me and the 2 boys. My freezer's always full and my larder, too.

Repo

Eat everything in the freezer and then shop


But seriously... if I can't make the minimum spend for the Tesco voucher on my regular shop for the £10/£15 voucher off £75/£100 spend target then I'll either take a load off to just qualify for the £5 off £50 spend and plan for another shop sooner or bump up on non-perishable items to hit the £75/£100 target.

With Tesco's I view it as they are paying you to stay at home to shop with them. You should be able to find a £5 off £50 voucher quite easily on the internet.

stock up on bog roll, you will always need to wipe your bum.
stock up on xmas alcohol
presents from tesco for next door neighbours ( choccies)
as someone else also said, stock up on non perishable stuff also.

i have a problem trying to get my missus NOT to spend £100 per week food shopping

Well I don't really drink, I have enough bof roll to wipe my bum for the next 6months thanks to Tesco's last promotion on Charmin - lol.

Thing is, its quite hard to actually spend the money when you nake most foods from scratch and fresh stuff goes off too quick. I get my veggies in a box every week or so anyway and neither I or the kids are great meat eaters.

I don't buy pressies for the neighbours -we just give each others kids cards. Most of my Xmas shoping is done and the boys are going to their dad's this year so I'll be going to my mum's.

I think I'll just have to forget about the vouchers and stick to my £30/week trips out - lol

I know this is off topic, but why are you showing your bum in your avatar? Not that it doesn't look a nice bum or anything I'm just curious...

Another OT comment...is that a skid mark on the pants?
Back to topic...i had these Farm Food vouchers, went to spend £25 tonight (for £2.50 disc.), ended up spending £60+ (get £5 off a £50 spend). Wallet is lighter & freezer is jam packed. Won't need to go there for another month, so you're best to run down your stock then fill-up.
