Still a good bargain tho. I wont be going mad but just maybe substituting a few items, after all ile still get the clubcard points as well. Ive read through the thread and i dont actually spend a lot of money in one go so im going to go for a DTD shop of around £20.
What you just said made NO sense?

Even more free if you are paying with a voucher from a previous spend and it give you money for another spend.

Quite right. As i said, it is surely unethical, but then sometimes its a fine line. Arguably taking advantage of an offer in a way the comany didn't intend (such as multiple email addresses etc) is unethical.
However, if it is illegal I would be quite willing to remove the post. I was only trying help.
Edit: Someone kindly beat me too it

Exactly. After your first initial Spend to get your very first voucher back Everything after that is Just free, except maybe the 2/3 pounds you spend On top of your voucher to pay for items as you need to spend the voucher total!
I have a voucher for 87.00 almost. So I will spend as close to 90 as I can and pay a few £'s on top. But will get most of it all back in another voucher (which I hope I have no trouble using to pay)Saving the Pennies

I would strongly recommend removing the post too. I don't think that this is within any lines of principles or fine lines. It is beyond bending the rules IMO and is a sure fire way of Mr T pulling this for everyone who has worked 'within the rules' as they currently exist.Shadow_Jam wrote: »Quite right.

Bobbins - treated myself to some steak for all my good shopping. It's only the blummin comparison and Tesco is £3 a Kg cheaper, darn and blast they are going to take the difference away from me this time.0
