They are abusing this offer with their greed and soon the price checker will be finished.

Changed your tune a bit. Why are you bothering to read and contribute to the thread. It is 'money saving at its best'. We are all inventive, sharing and helpful people, and that type of remark helps no-one. Please keep your thoughts to yourself.

Doing multiple shops is abusing the offer and is greedy. When I do my next shop at Tesco, I am probably going to pay 30% of the cost I would pay with no DTD scheme. I am not really using the offer as it was designed because I'm a MSE and I am taking advantage of the differences. But I will stick to the limits, Tesco have created, because I play to the rules.

Good for you then! You (and probably quite a few other people) have chosen to play STRICTLY by the £100/no multiple shops per day rule - if you are happy with that then thats all that should matter to you. However, you are bending the rules by 'selective shopping' so you really should not be too critical of others who choose to bend the rules in a more major fasjoin. Glass houses and stones springs to mind!

Personally, I feel that 15 shops per day is taking a little too much **** - but thats just my feeling and I don't feel that my methods are whiter than white so I don't feel I can make critical comments other than to say that, if anyone is doing a large number of daily shops, its probably best not to publicise it on here for Tesco 'spies' to see!

As with any glitch/loophole etc, there will be a wide variation in what individuals feel is acceptable - you might not like what some people are doing and should feel free to say so provided its done in a pleasant manner. Calling people criminals etc is not nice at all - and its incorrect as nobody is breaking the law, just not abiding by Tesco rules.

Confirmed Deal

Tesco currently have balaclavas, crowbars, and sacks with dollar signs on, all of which are cheaper in Asda. With the summer holidays coming up and the houses empty, this is a great time for us all to stock up on the essentials!

If you think about it though - If I went to Tesco to do my normal shop and did the price check and noticed that a number of items were much cheaper at Asda, I would be stupid not to buy those again. If it's something I use often, I would also be stupid not to stock up on those items as I have no way of knowing how long this promotion will last.
We are doing nothing criminally wrong or even morally wrong. In the 2009/2010 financial year Tesco made pre tax profits of £3.4 billion :eek:. To make that much money, they are certainly fleecing us, not the other way around.

....and do you know when we contacted them (as well as many other companies I might add) just over a year ago when we were doing xmas shoeboxes for overseas soldiers and asked if they could send a small online voucher towards any toiletries or cake/chocolate stuffs - the good old bog standard reply of "we give to our own select charities" came back - well now Im using this to give to the charities I want to help via DTD! 3.4 billion is surely more criminal than use getting a bit of a DTD fix!!!!!!

As an aside to replying to all this rubbish about us being theiving b*stards -
Ive tried the Treasure Eggs again today seeing as they are only £1 as Asda now and still £2 at Tesco so hoping to confirm back on track with you tomorrow - I decided if spending the DTD voucher on them if they didnt come back tomorrow Id just take the hit - I need to get more tomorrow and Thursday to take to the kids Friday ! Ive been doing 8 Dairy Milk and 1 Mini Eggs so as not to bounce into the 2 for £3 bracket!
