  • OK friends, fess up......

    Who bought all the Nivea from Hucknall Extra??? Was it the same person that raised eyebrows yesterday with a voucher for £120odd ??? (According to the checkout ladies!!!)

    Giggling - I will be sticking to Mansfield, I think!

    Sorry to post this again but I was hoping one of you kind people could help?.......


    Help Please :o

    I got my 2nd voucher today :T the only problem is I'm working long hours for the next few days (won't be drinking much baileys ;)) and won't be able to go into a store.
    I am thinking of doing an online shop and take advantage of some BOGOF deals etc.. Has anyone had a DTD voucher successfully refunded when they have given it to the driver? I would be recycling one which was mostly paid for with another voucher so I'm a bit worried the driver will take the voucher and they will check it against the reciept and say I can't use it :( Don't know what to do really??

    :beer: CC

    Pretty sure people have had successful with online shopping, and I've used several 'recycled' reciepts in store. You'll be fine :)
    Well, while I'm here, as may as well tell the tale of this afternoon's shop. Let's just say 'no problems' wasn't quite true...

    I did a DTD shop and proceeded to the checkout, £76 voucher in hand. I looked for the same cashier as last time, but she was on the basket till and wouldn't have been as happy as I anticipated with a trolley full of junk food, whisky and DVDs.

    Instead, I went for the unknown quantity of a middle-aged woman I'd been served by before DTD came along.

    She didn't know what to do with my voucher.

    Cue supervisor in headset running to her aid and my sphincter tightening at the thought of the grilling I was about to receive. My fingers began rubbing on the bit of the receipt that revealed my last £100 shop was paid for with a £92 voucher, but to no avail.

    I was moved to a different till, away from all other customers and I swear a bit of poo came out as beads of sweat began to form on my forehead.

    The supervisor asked the following questions:

    1. How did you get such a high amount?
    2. Have you done this before?
    3. Did you do it on purpose? (By which I think she meant, 'did I purposefully seek out goods priced higher in Tesco's than ASDA's')
    4. You did it on purpose, didn't you?

    Followed by:

    5. Go on, admit it.

    I answered with the following:

    Gamjupsssssssssssssssjjjjjjjjphhhhhhhhhh, before I pulled myself together and lied through my teeth, claiming it was both my mum and dad's birthday that week so I was stocking up on alcohol and just by chance it had been cheaper in ASDA.

    As she looked at me with more than a hint of suspicion in her eyes, my legs suddenly felt strong enough to carry me, very fast, out of the store never to be seen again.

    This, fortunately, was before she uttered the immortal words:

    'I've been doing this myself at ASDA - teeheehee'.

    My relief was audible and could be heard smashing several bottles of Pinot Grigio on the conveyor belts fifty feet away from me.


    That had me :rotfl:

    I've been up your hill and would really not want to drag any shopping up there...did you hand her a bottle of wine as a reward ? :D

    I might have done had she managed to process my vouchers :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Makes me laugh they nearly always ask incredulously is that the only way to get up here and I always reply unless Tesco can air drop the delivery then yes (most of the time they don't see the funny side, I always do cos I don't have to carry the shopping up the flipping hill) :T

    I think I might have messed up.

    I bought 7 of the Turner Road Merlot at £9.99.

    Looking at my receipt there is 5% discount (as I bought mote than 6).

    Does this mean I won't get a voucher ?

    Thanks in advance

    OH just called. All out of cornettos, got the roasting tins, turners merlot and comfort strawberry. He's just venturing to the checkout now. What if they sign his receipt? I need the big voucher to buy a kindle!!! This is no good for my nerves at all. All of this is going to result in a new syndrome being invented - price match meltdown.

    Also, anyone have anything on their shopping list that are snacks and not already mentioned?, having trouble finding any more things that I need/want

    TIA

    i'm the same!

    can't fit anymore mccains in my freezer -20 packets about the limit!:rotfl::rotfl:

    will be interesting to see what price changes are tomorrow and after buying a few duff things last night in my panic to spend my voucher i might try and play it cool until thurs when more confirmed deals are being reported

    one thing that has concerned me is the signing of the new receipt thing, have many people had this experience today, makes me think i shouldn't perhaps wait too long before using next voucher?

    Sorry I have missed something down the line! Are they actually signing receipts that have been paid via DTD so that you can no longer get a new DTD on that receipt?:eek:

    I'm having a dinner party on Friday so that should take care of the wine but the fabric conditioner is spreading rapidly!!
  • I think we should have signs made up for the front of trolleys; you know, for those of us being potentially lethal whilst simultaneously checking MSE/Asda/Tesco's websites on our mobiles whilst mooching round. Something like;
    "Caution, MSE'r at work"
