I did see a bottle of this a week ago in Tesco for £1 and Asda didn't sell it then, so maybe they get the promotions on new products a week before Asda - worth bearing in mind if you spot any New products in Tesco0 -
In answer to the numerous times this has been asked (and answered ...), yes you can currently use your DTD voucher to buy DTD shopping (one for the FAQs).
Quiz Time - Out of interest, what is the lowest initial spend that would generate a £20 voucher (or for those that have been doing it for a while when the cap wasn't in place, the lowest initial spend to generate the £100)? Clearly it has to be those items where the DTD results in them paying you take the items away (a - on the spreadsheet) but just interested to know. I am thinking Olay/Lamb plus either pancake or Crisps and about a £15 spend?
Many thanks

If one had a genuine receipt however one knew that a voucher would not be issued by Tesco in respect of such genuine receipt as one was already over the £100 monthly limit ........... then presumably taking steps to have Tesco issue a voucher in respect of such genuine receipt would be a form of deception?
To simplify the matter, it is up to Tesco to enforce their terms and conditions. If they choose to enforce those terms by refusing to issue a voucher, or refusing to accept it instore fair enough.
I personally don't see any legal problems, or moral for that matter, with exceeding their £100 monthly limit.
I, like a couple of other DTDer's I know, am well aware that I can be disbarred for any sort of dishonest activity yet I knowingly and happily exceed the £100 limit. If asked by anyone I would not have any issues admitting to this
I guess everyone just has to make their own call on this, but the worst case scenario, as I see it, is having a voucher refused.
The best thing is it would only take a couple of simple changes to make it very hard for a household to exceed the limit, thankfully the team at Tesco seem to struggle with the finer points :rotfl::rotfl:0 -

Lamb is almost free but not 'better than free' IYKWIM.
Betty Crocker £1.49(in most stores)/25p, Olay Aqua Physics £10.20/£4, Phileas Fogg £1.85/50p, Herbal Essences £3.36/£1.50, Comfort Strawberry £2.23/£1, tinned salmon £3.98/£1.50 - a combination of those would get you a £20 voucher for way less than £20 spend - plus you could use the 30p BC coupons and save even more dosh. Anyone got time to do the maths - assuming one 30p BC coupon for every tub of pancake mix?
A BC shop would cost £9.52 (8 BC mixes plus 8 30p coupons) and generate a £19.84 voucher, I reckon.

Your right. You need to get items that Mr T actually PAYS YOU to get!
e.g. pancake mix or crisps.
That way you don't need to spend £20 to get £20 voucher.0
