    Just remember your intial outlay to actually get a voucher - bearing in mind you're paying way more at Tesco for these items anyway, it's not quite as cheap as it looks initially. I got happily carried away by the "OOOh they're paying me to take it away" before I realised that actually I'd done no more than get it down to Asda's prices over the two shops.

    Include in that the fact that I had terrible problems with a large voucher and got accused of forging it (and was hauled off to the manager's office before I was able to prove it to them) and you may be better off sticking to smaller amounts.

    Larger amounts will also only serve to get the whole thing stopped quicker.

    This is what I'm going to do for my shopping tomorrow, but I am going to buy what I need, that way I should see a real saving. Good luck!

    Thanks for that, very useful advice and well worth bearing in mind!

    If people are seen to be abusing the system it will soon be stopped, like the Clubcard.....not that I was ever a fan of Clubcard, tried it once or twice but I was coming home with party poppers and paper plates that I had no use for :o But, this could be very good for people if it's used correctly. Buying 20 bottles of Bombay Sapphire is going to raise a few eyebrows!!
    Not having a go at anyone, just saying.

    No you're not just getting it as ASDA price, you got double the difference (DTD) so you're getting it at the difference again lower than the ASDA price.
  • I've just had a couple of vouchers through and at the top of the breakdown page it says......
    Sorry...

    This time, your shop would have been £ 9.47 cheaper at ASDA so we'll give you a voucher for double the difference back!


    I bought some things that were cheaper at Tesco's than at Asda.


    Presumably the voucher price is the difference of the 'whole basket'?

    I tried this last week, managed to totally mess it up and wasted loads of money. So just be warned it's not that easy to do but very easy to mess up!!

    Just take the items back with your receipt for a refund

    that's what happened to me.

    i bought a reduced loaf of bread - as a result, tesco calculated the bread as being 90p more expensive in asda. :mad: lol

    so yeah, it calculated the dtd based on the basket total.

    providing there are no offers on at tesco or asda, you should get £1.03 x 2 for all 10 items.
