    Have been away for 5 days.

    Have looked aover the last few pages but no way I can read everything. Anyone care to fill me on any of the interesting stuff that has happened since Wednesday?

    I take it there is a spreadsheet now?

    You can use it instead of oil when frying& roasting, butter when baking

    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 Tesco

    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 :D

    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:

    ...steer well clear, its synthetic carp and in my humble opinion tastes revolting :D

    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. :D

    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.
