    Right just as I thought I was getting the hang of it something has happened to confuse me again (easily done):

    I went into my local Tesco armed with a £20 Voucher (which I believe we can use for futher DTD attempts). I purchased the following:

    Finish Lemon 56s Dishwasher Tabs
    Jacobs Creek Shiraz

    These two items came to just over £20 so was planning to use my £20 Voucher. Whilst in the queue I was informed that the cashiers had a supply of £5 off a £15 spend coupons to try and secure business against a Waitrose that had opened today close by. I immediately panicked as the store coupon would bring my shopping below £20 and therefore prevent me from using my DTD voucher!! Anyway I quickly grabbed some items close by and my total bill was £25.74 so 0.74p after using both coupons.

    My question is will I still get the DTD on the wine and dishwasher tabs and how best should I continue as I have since been given a handful of store money off vouchers valid until 01/05/2011. I am guessing continue as normal but if using a £20 DTD voucher ensure I purchase other non DTD items for at least £5?

    I guess this store promotion is good news but it caught me off track and has completely confused me!!!

    Story over!!!

    Coupons dont affect the DtD value. I have been using the £5 off Finish Quatamatic and the £2 off Finish tabs. It's best not to overspend on the more expensive Mr T items (as compared to Mr As prices) as the voucher is capped at £20. Most people have a list of staple items that come back either NA or same price so dont affect DtD. This is better explained elsewhere in the thread and I think that post 1 explains about why it's best not to go over the cap too much.

    not at the moment....

    ...you could type in anything really.

    BUT...

    ...it has been reported that a SA had to contact tesco CS (to verify the voucher); additionally, the person with the DTD voucher had to confirm the email address (the one that was entered online).

    I don't understand this email business. If you make up an email address that doesn't really exist then how do you get your DTD voucher emailed to you?
    Am I being really, really stupid?

    Best DTD yet if it works.
  • I'm off to Tesco... I need some painkillers. I have spent too much time on this computer. All joking aside, I have gotten RSI in my wrist from this DTDing and trying to keep up with posts on here, spending the majority of the day on here. Think I may have to not keep up with posts for a few days and let my wrist recover, OH will be happy as he is currently sulking as I've spent the last 4 nights on here working on lists and checking deals, feeling kinda guilty about that - but he will be there forever, and DTD won't... I do enjoy stocking up for next to nothing. Especially as I can now plan on buying some chocolate with my painkillers :) Thanks for all your hard work guys
