£5 voucher for Finish Quantumatic - freebie if you go to Sainsbury's/Ocado/Tesco

  • i saw these in the shop yesterday and they are expensive because a normal Finish tab is 22p or 11p when they are 241 which they ofeten are and the quantumatic was £7 for 12 for refill which is 58p for every wash so the £5 off is just to get you into buying these very expensive ways to do dish washing which is not good if you are trying to save money.

    Has anyone actually used these yet??
    If so, are they any good........especially taking the top price into consideration??

    Could be a high priced gimmick, but I'll try these while they are free. lol

    I love them , they work well but the best bit is not having to put the tablet in the machine everytime . As much as I like them ,there is no way I would pay full price for them , far too expensive.
    Never pay more than you have too

    I agree totally. They are very convenient, but I wouldn't buy them, even though I actually use Finish tablets. As an earlier poster says, it works out much cheaper to buy them when they are 2 for 1, especially when they do 100% free as well!
  • what a performance i had getting my pack!!! my voucher wouldnt scan so they took me to customer services and then said it couldnt be allowed as it was priced at £4.97 (sainsbury's), but the voucher was £5 - the only way she said i coul. redeem the coupon was to charge me £4.97 for the voucher and me pay 3p!!! i was so fed up i did that!! (i must have chosen the worlds grumpiest assistants at the supermarket), but for 3p, good bargain still!! why do these coupons that you print out never scan directly!!!

    That's really poor customer service. Something similar happened to me in Waitrose and I wrote in and complained. In the end, they sent me £30 worth of gift vouchers and a massive bouquet! I still was very embarrassed though and wouldn't take a coupon in there again.

    I've never had a problem in Sainsburys though - and I've taken a LOT of these types of coupons in since I joined MSE!!! :rotfl:
  • Mine scanned ok. I won't be buying them at full price though as I find Lidl's W5 are as good, if not better, than any other make. Might even add this freebie to my car boot stash and a make a couple of quid! :)

    They are rubbish.

    I only buy Quantum tablets, they are the best. But these are useless, sometimes it (the powder) doesn't come out & you have to reset the disk & rewash, so double the electric.

    Thanks MrsE and abaove posters, some different views then. Not something I would consider buying at the inflated prices - these "gimmicky" things are always pitched high.
    I will certainly try out my free packs though.

  • My son took one into Sainsbury's last night and it took 1 assistant and 3 supervisors before it was ok'd, as it was £4.97.

    But great find, thank you OP.
