    Ok shopping arrived from Tesco 4 hrs late last night due to a van breakdown and guess what?

    The receipt was missing :rotfl: so I've called Tesco who will post it out.

    No doubt by the time I receive it the prices will have changed.:(

    You can use the details off the email they send to confirm your order as you only need your order number off it. (until you get your original receipt)

    why would you want to? after all your still getting free stuff £100 is alot of money


    i've been thinking about this and i think were all going about it wrong were all trying to get the biggest vouchers we can, but acually the best way to do it would be a small shop fo say £20 with £20 back in vouchers and then keep doing this until you've reached £100 so you get £100 of food for £20, plus then you can carry your last £20 voucher into the next month and kee going, where as my mil paid £45 so she'll get £100 of food for £40 if that makes sense

    since i have now got my head around this one i think, i have been doing small shops of things i will use or things i like that im would now pay pennies for( so i can fullfill my grovery challenge. yesterday my voucher was around £34 today i have submitted a receipt for £19.44 and expect £19.58 back:j:j
    theses two vouchers will be used next week for proper grocery shopping.I love you Mr T well at least whilst this offer is on but it just goes to show how expensive branded shopping is.

    I've been doing about £20 shops for about £20 vouchers and used 2 sainsbury's £2 off £20 spend (out of 4 shops) and plan to rollover to next month.

    but another good tactic is to do about £10 shops for about £10 vouchers and get BOGOF items so you can get 10 over 10 shops before you hit your limit.
    and it's £100 of free food in tesco prices but only £50 free food at asda prices. or even less if you shop smart.
    eg.
    tesco
    £1.79 BOGOF buy 4 flavors
    £3.98 BOGOF buy 4
    £1.99 BOGOF buy 4 flavors
    £2.00 BOGOF buy 2 varieties (4 total)
    £39.04 spend over 4 shops
    18p of points x4 (72p total)
    tesco value £38.32
    £38.08 DTD vouchers over 4 shops

    one shop £19.52
    38p worth of points
    tesco value £19.14

    asda
    £1.00 buy 4 flavors
    £2.00 buy 4
    £1.00 buy 4 flavors
    £1.00 buy 2 varieties (4 total)
    11 different items
    one shop £20
    tesco price £19.52
    asda price guarantee voucher £2.44
    asda value £17.56

    A few have mentioned returning items.

    I got a small DTD on one shop, however I did need to return one of the items. I returned it after the DTD voucher had come through and when I returned the item, there was no issue.

    However, I am not going to use the DTD voucher.
