"Thrifty Ways For Modern Days Book" FREE + £1.14 Profit!!! Tesco Offer

Hey fellow moneysavers!!!

Just to let you all know that there is an even cheaper way to get Martins new book!!!

Tesco have it for sale at £6.39 (RRP £7.99), I know this isn't the cheapest but bare with me. Also delivery has to be paid which is £2.74!!!

http://www.tesco.com/books/product.aspx?R=0091912776

So total from tesco is £9.13.

Using quidco there is 3% back, so 27p off.

Also on the voucher board there is a code for 250 points when buying books. This equals £10 in Deal vouchers!

Thanks to Greengre!!!

So effectively you pay £9.13 and get back 27p from quidco and £10 in Deal vouchers!!! That's £1.14 profit!!!

Another possible bonus is it says release date 7thDecember and that is the estimated dispatch date!!! Martin has said it is the 14th and the only way to get it sooner is from play.com on the 12th. Hope Tesco send out early!!!

Also if you were doing a book shop at Tesco anyway it offers free delivery on a £20 spend!!! Possibly pick up Martin's first book if you haven't already!!!

Hope this helps someone!!!

Could this be put with Martins thread about his book?, so others can benefit from the offer!!! Many thanks

    Got mine together with Hellmans Mayonnaise book. So if you don't save Tesco clubcards then you pay £3.99 for the book, get £5.99 Hellmans book free and p&p free too. Just something else to think about if you want it for Christmas;) .

    EDIT:
    Should also point out in case you haven't realised it, if you want to order anything from Amazon add one of the Hellmans books to the order to guarantee you get it before Christmas but don't forget the code for the free p&p.
