I enjoyed it!

I havent tried one after freezing it, but it isnt bad (not worth £4.25 mind)

I disagree, I would buy these at full price. I am not a pizza fan but these are yummy with added finest chorizo of course and a glass of WB sauv to wash it down!

you will not belive what we have just seen in our local tesco extra i hear a supervisor say to a staff member we have just had this from head office and we have got to go trough all these so being the nosey parker that i am i looked over her shoulder as to pick up a item and he presto what did i see the moneysaving expert spreadsheet lol there on to us and we have spys

I don't believe it.

Prices are not determined by each store, a store can't just change the prices willy nilly. So I doubt they would have a copy of the SS for the purpose of changing prices.

I would have told him, I always look in peoples baskets and spend more time explaining DTD to shoppers than I take to do a shop in the first place.

BTW I ave always done multiple shops, usually 4 x £20ish vouchers daily in one go. I just use the blue seperators to split the shopping up into £20 batches.

I always use the same clubcard but try to use a different email addy for each shop and have never had an email from Mr T saying i have reached my monthly max even though I have clearly overspent on some days.

At w/e I even use multiple vouchers for single transactions, ie. New XBox games for £44.00, just paying £4.00 using two £20 vouchers. (I can supply receipts for unbelievers).

I really can't understand why some people get really nervous when DTDing or worry about 'getting found out'. I justify it all by saying it is Mr T's personal project and if he allows it or has failed to adequately train staff about DTD then it is his loss and my gain.

I have no qualms about buying 10 x £10 toothbrushes or anything else in bulk for that matter as I send them to our fighting Forces in Afghanistan or put them in shoeboxes for Romanian Orphans, never for personal gain. I did the same in the good old days of RNR as my 'fans' will remember.

I will be trying a 5 x £20 vouchers today, call me charitable, greedy, cunning, entrepreneurial, a thief, conman, scammer,. Whatever, it worries me not. I enjoy the thrill of beating Tesco's at their own game. And, it keeps me off the streets!!

Justify it how you like, what you, and others are doing is still fraud - "A deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain"

There is a clear fair use policy, and you are taking advantage of a loophole, be under no illusions about that. For those who justify that Tesco are big company or are experiencing big profits (from their asia rather than UK market i may add) are missing the point.

There has already been at least 1 person banned from tesco for 3 months due to being caught out.

People get nervous because they know they are abusing the fair use policy and don't want to be 'found out'. Others are nervous because of bad experiences (such as i have had) where poorly staff training leads to suspicion over the vouchers.

As long as everyone understands the fair use policy, and abides by it they have nothing to worry about. If you do take advantage, just be prepared for any consequences should tesco decide to do anything about it.

I have lost ALL of my receipts-4 from 12th April, 2 from 14th April. Gutted

Oh no....I hope you find them.

I thought I had thrown mine the other week but they were luckily in my purse.....I felt sick though thinking I'd lost them!

I know we shouldn't do this, but is it possible to use a reciept twice if the staff member gives it back without scribbling on it?
Thanks everyone

You say you know you shouldn't do this so why on earth are you wasting everybodys time by asking a daft question! Sorry if that sounds rude but , as the answer to the question is irrelevant, its pretty darn pointless to ask!

I am a big pizza fan and have to disagree with you.

I had brought this pizza well before DTDing and I added loads of stuff to it and it was nice.
The second one I brought was plain and was really tasteless and I would go as far as to say not nice at all. Not worth £1.00 let alone £4.25

It is a real shame because the missus brought one yesterday and thats what I have for dinner tonight!!!!....guess I am going to have to load it up and do enough garlic bread and mozzarella and tomato salad just in case it tastes bland again.

Each to his or her own I guess.
