    Quick quiz

    Which product is currently £10.15 at Mr T and can also be bouught 2 for £10:huh: from the same shelf.

    The same product if one only is bought can create a DTD of £10.30 and every little helps with the £5 Coop voucher and the F***h £5 voucher too gives a NET Spend of 15p :eek:for the overpriced "at Mr T" product and £10.30 of vouchers to boot.:kisses:We love Mr T:kisses:

    Guess the sales of this product have never been so good - for Mr T at least !!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    I bought these today too but were £2 for thr pack of 60. There was a larger pack at a higher price (can't remember what it was eactly), so maybe you bought those instead?


    Checked online and think the larger pack os way more expensive, the mega pack is £5.00. I have no idea what I've managed to buy or whether I've just been overcharged, really hoping it doesn't affect my dtd though!

    Did my T shopping earlier this afternnon. Used 2 vouchers in 1 store and one in another!

    Went in a did my first shop and picked up 2 pancake mixes (still quite a few there), took shop number 1 to the car and returned with my second list and voucher to do shop number 2. Went to get another 2 pancake mixes and what did I find, ALL GONE!!! Definitely another DTDer (possible MSEer at work :rotfl:). Couldn't decide what to buy instead, so went for another toothbrush, then just as i went to the till I remembered these were BOGOF, so not only would it mess up my DTD but my shopping would be les than my voucher to spend! After a bit more thinking decided more Comfort was the way forward (ended up with another 4 on top of the lot bursting out of the cupboard at home!).

    Shop number 3 in the second store was equally interesting. Plenty of pancake mixes there. Headed to a til with a pretty small basket full (just shows how little you get for £20 when you pick the wrong things!) and one of the till supervisors pointed me to the basket till as this had no queue. The man paying had a £6.xx voucher and I could just see pancake mix peeking out of his bag. Said to him and the checkout assisant 'oh I have one of those too', giving him a knowing look. She was really confused by it all but noticed we both had the pancake mix and made the connection saying 'oh you have to buy certain items you don't want to get the vouchers!' Made me laugh!

    I'm not convinced that the world and his wife are DTDing.

    I have used 3 vouchers in the past week at 3 different stores. 1st one scanned by SA and receipt kept - didn't query it as didn't need it for anything. 2nd one had never seen one before - was really interested and I told her about signing the receipt. 3rd one today SA had not seen one - she just called supervisor who explained what to do and receipt returned. No nasty staff so far and I feel especially sorry for those who are having a bad experience in store.

    The receipt checking seems to involve some contact with the store where you shopped. I was waiting 4 days for some so contacted CS. This resulted in them coming through but no official response from Head Office in the end.

    What kind of contact do you think with the store where you shopped? Im wondering if I should call CS - how soon after you called did you get them through ?

    I bought a Finest NZ rack of lamb today at £6.70, how on earth do I work out the expected dtd on it please? Spent so long reading this thread and working out potential shopping lists to use up/maximise my odd-amount vouchers that my brain no longer functions :o

    I know I could just wait until the voucher comes in tomorrow but the anticipation and excitement just might kill me off! :rotfl:


    :A
    Asda it is £9.72 per kilo - just multiply by the weight - eg 540 grams - multiply £9.72 x .540 - this gives the Asda price.:A

    Subtract this from the Tesco overpriced daylight robbery amount and of course DOUBLE THE DIFFERENCE !:EasterBun
