I like how the Tesco spokeswoman on that BBC interview goes on about the DTD price check is meant for people doing their weekly shop. Sorry, I must have missed that in the ever changing T&Cs....

Lol, and as long as your weekly shop isn't more than £10 dearer.

aaarrrggghhh

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.

Compared to the above, my last three shops have been brilliantly simple. £86, £22 and £47 vouchers spent over the last three days and all went swimmingly.

The tesco statement on facebook mentioned a few posts ago states the 24th and it was only released about an hour ago

Facebook site seems to have no recent posts from the last couple of hours http://www.facebook.com/pages/TESCO/23447715913?sk=wall&filter=1

Wouldn't be Tesco deleting all the negatives I suppose?

I dont think you can print the voucher out again once its been done? I couldnt do mine. Yes I think it is fraud.

p.s. when you think about it, Mr T has done us a favour. The £20 vouchers are so much more manageable, don't you find - it's easy to find enough to spend each one on, and they slip under the radar.

I've been to Tesco four times today. The last time, I actually had to get a 'normal' basket of stuff, it was amazing how much I got for £19 compared to a DTD shop!!!!! :rotfl: The SA said '9p please', she was utterly gobsmacked!

Lol, how did you manage four shops in one day? Do you mean four seperate shops or 4 shops in one go?
