    but i've told them they can only have them while they cost me 1p as i'm not paying £1.99 for them!:rotfl:

    lol, my little boy loves the fact that he has a fruit shoot, pack of mini jaffa cakes, cheese string in his packed lunch - wondering where I can fit the rack of lamb though;)

    I don't know if anyone wants to try this out, as I know the Easter Eggs can be a bit dodgy. Tesco is doing B1G2F on the £6 Easter Eggs with a mug (although recently they were £3, so it's really B2G1F :mad:). Asda still has them at £3. My online Tesco and Asda don't have any Eggs that match up - can anyone else on here find ones that match?


    The eggs that are B1G2F in Tesco are the same ones that are on the Asda website.

    Shouldn't matter that they aren't on Tesco's website, as long as they are on your receipt and Asda's website.

    Anyone know if you get charge for 2 if you take just 2 (and not 3), or wether they give you just one for free?

    Got to admit am now a bit fed up with repeatedly buying the same old things, just to keep level of voucher up.

    I have 7 or 8 Tesco's within 5 miles of me, and only 1 seems to stock the lamb, and the bloody shelf was empty tonight, well fed up.

    I really wanted to stock up on this as love it, and only have 1 pack left now.

    Anyone seen stock in the Manchester area?
    I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing! ;)

    had a mixed experience again in southport today - the sa was about to close her checkout so the supervisor was stood at the end watching me:eek:

    anyway when I gave the sa my voucher she waved it at the miserable supervisor and said, 'ooh these are good arent they?' supervisor looked at me like she had just wiped me off the bottom of her shoe and replied 'its that martin lewis isnt it', I just smiled sweetly and never said a word, SA then piped up ' I tried to do it, but got nothing back' supervisor then looked at me (like I had actually slept with her husband) and said ' they know what they are doing, they specifically search for things thats why they get them!' to which I continued smiling sweetly and said ' such a shame Tesco put there prices so high then, as I wouldnt be getting this voucher if they were as cheap as asda. would I ?' :pI then thought that the supervisor was actually forfeiting my DTD personally with the final look of disgust she gave me!! I just kept smiling, walked outside and saw a single little receipt in a trolley, looking at me, begging to be saved from the bin - I did the only thing possible and scooped it up gently into my purse...........................................
    got home and found it was for £152 !!!!!!!!!!!!! :j:j ( oops you can just guess what I did next lol)

    :rotfl: When she said "it's that Martin Lewis isn't it" you should have said "yes, he's a friend of mine actually!"

    Thats what happened last week just before I had the email saying Id reached my limit - it happened to a few - fingers crossed its just a glitch and just because so many of us are going on and re-checking as we've got delayed vouchers -
    There will be such a fuss ifthey just stop sending vouchers!
    Im not on facebook but so want to put a message on their discussion time - people seem to get help on there -

    I haven't reached my £100 limit for April but am close - but I had my first DTD voucher issued on 31 March for a shop which I had done on 30 March, which I spent on 1 April. I had not counted that in the £100 as I thought that would count as March. I wonder if that is what the problem is.

    After reading the forum last night I decided that this is getting stupid and there is no way I am going to chance getting banned from Tesco (and I probably should be) so that was that.
    Got up today, didnt look at the forum, went to work, with no detour to Tescos.
    Lasted till 10.45am. But I was good, I spent cash, got 4 racks of lamb in two lots. OMG how excited am I at this stroke of luck????
    Went back at 4.30, two bags of shopping, no nerves left in my body by now.
    So tonight I have hubby primed, gave him 4 shopping lists, all small, all easy. It took him an hour to leave home, kept coming back to see packets, labels, prices etc. Cant wait to see what he comes back with : )
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    Just wondering how some of you are managing to do a few shops a week and not have a problem with the limit? Are you using different email addresses??
    Thanks

    Only place I've seen it is in Gorton Extra, they didn't have any in Failsworth last week. btw staff in both are lovely and know exactly what they're doing with the vouchers

    I am getting a bit nervous as DH and I have been in Tesco everyday since sunday!
    So, mum got her 2nd £20 voucher and wanted me to go and spend it for her. I managed 3x Lamb racks which covered the voucher and a little on top, but I didn't want to seem too suspicious so my actual DTD would work out a few quid over the £20 max.
    I, personally, have braved the finest Corn Fed chicken and will report back when I get the results but fingers crossed it will work and give us a bit of variety with our meats.

    DH has been using his email and I used mine for receipts but obviously have the same clubcard address etc. Will this cause any confusion? I am not intending on defrauding/abusing the system, I just want to know if they can tell on their system when our household will reach our limit as I don't want them to later on tell me that we have been DTD'd too much. It would make it easier for us if there was a sort of linked account to be able to tell what we have saved and claimed so far this month.

    Do any of you think that Mr T will start banning some users for abusing the system by ONLY buying DTD shopping and submitting them?
