    Ive had 3 emails today submitted by myself, all are under

    mothers £86.86
    brothers £72.23
    uncle £75.86

    What are they doing, must be tracking IP addresses

    Are these totals the voucher amounts, or the uncapped amount? Did you use any of these email addresses in march (wondering if they've changed their month definition yet again"!)
  • OK im a tad confused.....never done one of these before but today i went and bought a few things which are cheaper in asda...

    So i followed the link on the first page, entered email address and then numbers at bottom of receipt and it says thanks we will get back to you soon...

    Do i not need to key in what items it was??

    What happens next?

    TIA

    P.s the betty crocker mix did have the 30p voucher on it...just wasnt advertised on the front but i saw it on the back.

    These didn't work on today's voucher ( from last Saturday night shop )

    I think the beef is dependent on weight - Asda have only reduced the beef joints above a certain weight - if anyone can clarify this or tell me where i went wrong I would be grateful - I made a shelf clear on the freezer this morning so I could buy some more!


    1 x TESCO FRESH BEEFT/S T/R S/S JOINTS (0.875 kg) £ 7.42 £ 7.42
    1 x OLD EL PASO SMK BBQ FAJITA DINNER KIT 500G £ 2.00 £ 2.00

    I also noticed from today's visit that the 1.25l coke & diet coke is now down to £1 a bottle so no dtd there either.

    Never mind - plenty more bargains still!

    Just got back from Tesco and have encountered my first 'trout' :j

    Here is the story.....

    Upon entering the store I carefully plan my route... this involved passing by the beef...

    I noticed the beef was only in very large bits, and living on my own, a joint that serves 8-9 would probably be too much.:(

    So I bought the other items on my list, teabags, treasure eggs, fray bentos etc.

    Went to pay.... OMG the queues were huge :mad:

    So went to the basket checkout with my trolley (I only had a baskets worth of shopping but as I'm 6 months pregnant I use a trolley).

    Man in front of me was buying cards and forgot an envelope with one of them so said I could go first while he gets envelope.... he will soon live to regret that decision......

    Went to pay with my voucher but my total came to below the voucher.... how could this be?? :think:

    So I swiftly grabbed a packet of fruit pastels - 51p! :eek:

    Handed my voucher over, SA looks at it and calls supervisor..... supervisor studies voucher and tells me they have to ring head office everytime they get one of these.....

    She then studies it more and said.... you did well to get the same amount back in voucher as what you spent....

    I smiled sweetly :D.....

    I mean....:A

    She then said while looking at me in the eyes in a 'knowing way'.... 'you must have known what to buy??'....

    I continued to smile sweetly.... :A (:D) as her x-ray eyes probed my brain.....:question:

    She then went phoned head office... came back and told the SA to keep my old receipt and everything is ok..... :T

    I then apologised to the envelope man who had been waiting patiently to buy his birthday cards now he had the envelopes :o.
    Bet he will never forget envelopes again... :rotfl:

    Checked receipt when I got to car and treasure eggs - dairy milk are now 2 for £3 too, it might be store specific as SEL said £2 each.
    Figures why I was under when I came to pay.

    Might do my shop at Tesco a different time tomorrow, I feel like a criminal now.:(

    There aint nothing wrong with "playing the game" that Mr T has invited us to play ? Mr T thinks he can mess with Mr A, and that just aint gonna happen because Mr W in the good ol' USA has bigger buying power and likes to look after Mr A, his little nephew. Mr T will soon be saying "I aint playing this game no more". Make the most of the game before that day. :rotfl:

    Just check your email address in the next day or so and if your shopping items would have been cheaper at Asda, you will get a voucher for DTD that you print off, take into store with receipt, and spend!

    Good luck!

    just wondering if anyone has had this confirmed yet?
    Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1L)

    £6.48 in T's
    £3.00 in A's"

    Excellent find. Better than than mild and light olive oil DTD

    I prefer the mild and light for shallow frying, the virgin stuff burns too easily and I keep that for salds and such like.

    The system looks at the total bill not at just the items that were cheaper in Asda. If you bought some items that were cheaper in Tesco, it will wipe out some of your DTD. You need to keep you DTD itmes separate and add a few n/a at Asda or the same price at both to not draw attention when you use your voucher for your next shop.
