So, went down and did my shopping at lunchtime. Started off fine, got my wee trolley and popped a basket up the further end for my "friends" shopping.............. lol

Went for the pizza's and popped 2 in her basket. Went to get the Smoked Salmon......... they didn't have any. Panicked a wee bitty because I couldn't remember anything of about the same values to add in. So, took one of my comforts and added it to the backet then got a 3rd pizza and put it with my shopping. Brain is frantically trying to do the sums over the differences, the vouchers I had and the money in my purse........... lol

Started to sweat a bit.

Got the rest of our shopping and went looking for a nice SA. The lady I went to the other day (the one I know) had a big queue so went and stood in a smaller queue with a young (late teens) SA. Was starting to feel a bit more confident when one of the managers came over and said "would you like to just come with me?" OMG!!!! :eek: the sweat was back, my heart was going just a wee bit too fast for comfort, all I can hear in my head is 'we've been rumbled!!' but phew! She was just taking me to a till that was away to open. THAT SHE WAS GOING TO WORK ON _pale_
She'd grabbed 3 more folk after me so there was a wee queue. I totally panicked lol I loaded "my" shopping onto the belt. And froze! ha ha ha

Before I could stop myself I was asking her if I could use my DTD voucher for my shop and my friends DTD voucher for her shopping that I also had. Just there. Still in the trolley. Can't afford to pay for it if I can't use her voucher............ says on T&Cs one per household per day, not per customer. So is it ok? :rotfl: :rotfl: She was giving me the strangest looks!!!

Asked to see the vouchers. Stood checking them for a full 2 mins at LEAST! By now I was so hot I started to take my jacket off - then decided that'd make me look like I was nervous.......... so (half off by now) put it back on ha ha ha she must have wondered what the heck I was playing at!

Finally got it all through and walked out of the store convinced the alarm would go off when I left lol

One shop a day for me from now on.............

LOL, I did three DTD shops on Sunday. Stressful!

Just used my first big voucher. Cashier was fine but said "what have you been doing? Sitting on the computer all day figuring out what to buy?" heh, though the way she said it was more in a judgemental tone rather than a joking way but i don't really care tbh. She asked me if i wanted the old receipt back too but i just told her no and to chuck it.

Found it quite amazing the small amount of items you can get for that amount of money when avoiding offers! Do sort of wish i'd taken advantage on the offer earlier when there was no cap but oh well.

Question: How many vouchers do people generally keep 'on the go' if recycling, just one or a few? I guess there's not any difference with regards to saving money between starting a few DTD vouchers up to recycle over or using a voucher for 'normal' shopping and then starting over. Same pay out. Though i think using vouchers for normal shopping every now and then is 'safer' with regards to Tesco staff and such.
eta: I see people are already answering this question above lol, random. I don't know how anyone copes with 5 shops in a row!

For anyone who's vouchers come back as 'processing' - which browser are you using?

I found that by using IE, using the back arrow and re-submitting it worked after 2 or 3 attempts whereas on Firefox it didn't seem to.

It's worth a try.

I have a confession to make.

I've just shopped at Asda and had some gorgeous mediterranean style haddock toppers. They were bloody lovely too. In my defence they were woopsied!

Could you imagine my kids faces if they woke up on easter morning and found lots of little lindt bunnies all over the house!?!
