Hi guys, going in for my first visit 'in a few hours' as it is already morning, lol. Checked an old receipt yesterday which gave me 18p voucher, lol. I have read all through the forum tonight but still have a few questions please. I intend on getting the baking tins apparently £10 each so 2 making £20 , in Asda equivalent 2 for £8 making a DTD of £24 is that right, and if so will I only get £20 back on my pricecheck, oh and also should I buy it on it's own or with other items ( and should these be same price as Asda:question:? Also does that mean if I want to buy anything else that is dearer in Asda I am best buying in another transaction because then it will go well over the £20 further? However I am reading people spending large vouchers of £40 plus , how did they get these or were they before Tesco capped it at £20? Last question , if I have some things on the recipt that are cheaper in Tesco will they add it all up and subtract it off so saying the shop was not so more expensive and so get a lowed DTD? so confused still , can somebody please help , you all seem absolute pros at this , I am slow taking up this offer , normally I am so on the ball with offers.

You seem to have got to grips with the theory very nicely!!! The reality: some things on your list may be OOS when you go in, so have back-up plans! Print off cambermam's spreadsheet, this will help enormously. Start slowly and give yourself time in the store to work out what you're buying. Use the price check scanners if they're available to check the price of anything you're not sure about. Try to ensure £20 (or less) DTD on each transaction. And choose your SA carefully!!! Young males are best, older females are the worst.

Happy DTDing!!!! :j:j:j

p.s. the roasting pans are not working any more. HTH.

OMG, this promotion is actually INCREDIBLE!

I only started doing this a few days ago after following this thread with interest for a good week-or-so, but i'm already completely addicted - in fact, it's taken over my life! My days now consist of a routine somewhat like the following:

Wake up. Check this thread. Go to work. Check this thread. Compile shopping list. Go to Tesco in lunch break. Back to work - input receipt and check this thread. Do a miniscule amount of work. Go home. Check this thread. Compile another shopping list. Back to Tesco. Back home - input receipt. Cook dinner (provided by Tesco). Promise myself an early night. Check this thread. End up staying up til 1am reading because every time I get to the end of one page, two more pages of new posts have appeared! :rotfl: FINALLY get to the end of the thread and get to sleep, only to wake up in the morning and start the cycle all over again!

I think it's safe to say i'm just a little obsessed :eek:. My poor family and friends will be thinking i've disowned them - my entire life at the moment is Tesco!

I have to say though, Tesco are actually geniuses for coming up with this - we may all be thinking that this promotion isn't good for them because they're dishing out lots of vouchers, but for every one of us who gets a voucher, I guarantee there are thousands upon thousands of people who are shopping at Tesco who just think "oh look, Tesco refund double if they're not cheaper than Asda - guess I may as well keep shopping in Tesco rather than changing to Asda then!", and thousands more who don't even know about the promotion at all and just continue shopping at Tesco regardless. Then of course there's the fact that all of us are completely addicted and are now going to Tesco several times per day, so we end up spending even more in there than we normally would. It may not look like it to us bargain hunters, but i'm sure Tesco know EXACTLY what they're doing, and i'm even more sure that they're loving the fact that this promotion is keeping more people in Tesco and out of Asda!

It's hilarious though - i've only had 4 small vouchers so far, and my experiences have been very varied (all in one medium sized store in the north - that's the only one near me):

First time was for a voucher around £10 - the till girl looked at it and asked what it was, so I told her it was from Tesco's price check promotion. She said she needed to call a supervisor - the supervisor came over and said "oh yes, that's from our price check with Asda - i'll need to see your Asda receipt" :rotfl: Luckily, the girl on the next till over said "no, it's a Tesco thing, you just scan it, type in the amount, and sign their old Tesco receipt" - she knew her stuff!

The next time was a complete breeze - £14 voucher, gave it to the girl on the till, she scanned it, typed in the amount, laughed and said "wow, that's AMAZING, you owe me 8p now!"

The next time the cashier didn't know what to do so he called a supervisor but she didn't know either, so I asked them to try scanning it and it obviously worked. I had to tell them that they needed to sign my old receipt to stop me printing off another voucher though!

The most recent one was only a very small one that I actually got when doing my main weekly shop (which I wasn't even trying to get a voucher on, but still got one for £1.50!) - as it was only small I thought i'd use it at a self scan till to buy a sandwich for lunch - I scanned my sandwich, scanned my voucher and the till screams out "APPROVAL NEEDED!" as loud as anything (way louder than it does when you buy alcohol!) - the attendant came over, looked at the voucher, and said "ummm, I don't know what this is, but it doesn't say what it's to be spent on... is it for sandwiches?" :rotfl: I had to tell her that it was for anything and I explained the price check promotion to which she looked really bewildered as though I was mad to suggest that Tesco gave it to me, and just approved it!

So funny how in just one store you can have so many different experiences! It's been absolutely hilarious reading all of your funny stories on here - i'm sometimes sitting at the computer laughing so hard I start crying!

LONG MAY IT CONTINUE - THANK YOU TESCO, AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON HERE WHO POST ALL THE DEALS AND STORIES! :beer:

Love this post. :):):):) I think we have started to take the whole thing for granted a little, let's take a moment to remind ourselves how FAB this promotion actually is, and let's have three cheers for Tesco's marketing team and their ill thought out ideas!!! :j :rotfl:

I was pulled aside by one of my fave SA's tonight. She's a team leader and was showing me an email exchange between the store manager and HO. Seems they are being scammed quite heavily with people doctoring the vouchers! I was shown photos of some of the dodgy ones.... slightly different font on the numbers at the bottom and also the scissors were missing on another one on the 'perforations'.

She said people are now only allowed to use a coupon in that store if I'd bought my original goods there on orders of the manager.

Looks like either further restrictions will come into place or it will get pulled completely soon due to some people not being satisfied with the gift horse Tesco sent us. Human nature rarely surprises me sadly.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Un-bl00dy-believable. Doctoring vouchers????? I really hope they get caught and prosecuted for fraud. It's not fair on those of us who are sticking to the (frankly very generous) rules and within the law.
