In one of our local Tescos tonight, my OH used one of the vouchers upstairs in the clothes section, just to buy our youngest a few bits for our forthcoming jolly to Majorca.

Anyway, we goes up to the paydesk and behind it there's a proper nasty-looking trout. She must have been 60 if she was a day (not that age is anything to do with it), frowning at everyone and everything and had a pair of HUGE glasses hanging round her neck down her front, a la John Inman.

We put the clothes on the desk, she rings them through and then I give her the voucher (clothes came to £21, voucher for £18).

She says - "What's this?"

I say "It's a voucher towards the cost. From the DTD promo."

She says "What's that?"

I explain away, as quick as poss, and she nods, frowns, nods again, frowns.

She then says " Ooh, I could do with this then because..." and goes off on one long story about her hubby being made redundant from the local council after 35 years, her son ripping them off to the tune of £15k, they have remortgage debts of about 20k, she has a dodgy heart and a few other tales of woh.

By the time she bagged the clothes up I felt like Clare flipping Rayner.

She blew a kiss to our sprog, thanked us for listening to her as she felt "better now she has spoken to someone" and said she was going to buy some lamb and pancake mix after her shift and have a go herself!

Moral of the story: God knows. Maybe "Don't judge a Trout by its pout"?

Just thought I'd share that one.

Oldie but a goldie :cool:

Heya, was wondering if you really friendly peeps can help me. Does the lenor yellow 3 ltr really not work as it is being sold at ASDA for £3? Also, with the vanish 1.5kg, does it have to be the normal pink one or can it be the pink one with extra hygiene written on it? I get really confused with these kinda things. Any help is really appreciated

Just to let you know the pink vanish that was scanning at £3 (1.5 kilo) at my local was definately a glitch. Brother went back at 10pm same store and it was back to £12 so he's got his on dtd!

Just catching up with the thread.

I noticed people are looking for other MSE DTD'ers in their local stores. We do ours around the Bournemouth area but haven't seen any others yet......

Also, a quick question. Some peeps on here have downloaded the ss to their phones - genius.

Thing is, I'm old school - I print a paper version (usually about 10 A4 sheets!) and take it with me. I even look at it instore to check stuff, much to the OH's embarrassment. Is it just me who does this.

I'm not scared of getting it out in public!

I have been shopping at Tower Park, Poole - have you been there? By the way, I am even older "old school" - handwritten notebook!! and I get it out in public too!!!

unconfirmed
tesco spaghetti bolognese(400g) £1.90
asda(also 400g) £1
dtd £1.80

Worth a try? Its not something I would buy.

How are they at taking vouchers in Bounemouth, any problems?
