Quick question about the Finish tabs:

Is it just the lemon ones that have the £2 MOC? Or is it both? Only I've bought three boxes of the regular ones now (from 3 different stores) and not one of them has had one

i had one in every lemon pack:j

TBH I didn't decide either (I'm not sure who did!)

If the consensus is that everything be a % of Tesco price then I'll change it

It's perfect the way it is, it makes it extremely easy to check for suitable alternative items incase something is out of stock on the shopping list I can scan by percentage and cross check the other figures to make it work for me.

If it were to change I reckon I would be here all day making seperate shopping lists.

It really depends how you use the spreadsheet I guess but for me each column is invaluable.

Thank you all who have put it together and contributed xx

Lovely and helpful, and inaccurate, thanks /sarcasm off.

Yes it's only in the lemon one. The voucher states that it can only be used for packs below 56 size but most people have no problems using them for the 56 one

Im really annoyed with myself. I got tempted whilst shopping yesterday and bought far more than I should have. My OH had got caught in traffic and was going to be late picking me up so I had extra time to kill at Mr T's. So as well as getting confused by my DTD shop (some bits on my list werent there) I found myself adding things that looked interesting. Choc Orange Aero....Strawberry Milk (non Frijj!)...Satsumas...Carbonara Sauce...Flapjacks etc. I got to the till and nearly dropped dead with shock when it totalled £62!! Gave the SA my £20 voucher, she said total to pay now £42, but me still in shock keeps asking 'Have you taken the voucher amount off? Are you sure?'. Plus when I got outside and checked my receipt (for the fifth time as I was so convinced I must have been overcharged) I realised I had added far too much of the DTD items I could find in my panic to replace those that had been missed.
I havent paid more than about £10 extra on shopping for weeks now, and I feel utterly sick at how much I spent yesterday.
God knows how I will cope when DTD ends....

take some of the items back for a refund?

p.s finish coupon on again in the mail 50p

You would be suprised if you name your store on here I reckon several people would say they shop there, I was quite shocked that in a space of two days two racks of the kids toothbrushes had gone all bar one, I didn't think many people go there but looks like I could be wrong... new people are joining in each day and they are telling family and friends..

Thanks for the replies, guess I will try a lemon pack today. I just find the smell a bit overpowering. I've already used the QuantuMatic voucher from beforeishop (but on the starter kit not the tabs)

Come on vouchers - getting withdrawal symtoms I need my Tesco fix

Mines "Tesco List" which I just reuse and "Tesco DTD Results" where I keep track of email address, date reciept no, total cost, voucher recieved cost and net cost. I then have a running total of how much I have spent and how much groceries I have got. (I would tell but i'm slightly ashamed:o)

Go on... PM me if you want, I'm dying to know!

i realise that a lot of people are worried about this.

the problem originated from one MSE member; who kindly posted their horrible experience, so that other money savers became aware of the problem.

a few points to note:

-that individual was doing 5 shops per day, 7 days a week (i'm not here to discuss about whether this is right or wrong, but i can say you are one brave and super confident person). 35 shops a week means you are far more likely to be caught out like this, even if you did spread your shops across many stores.

-using email addresses with 'patterns' for this kinda thing would be silly. for example, dtdshops1to5@...., [EMAIL="dtdshops6to10@....etc"]dtdshops6to10@....etc[/EMAIL]. if are going to create email addresses, at least make them with genuine names and words, e.g. iamtheman69@....

-how many members on here had more than 1 email address before this tesco price check offer started?? i'm sure the majority did. i had 3 accounts: uni email, home email and junk email. if you are questioned about the email address not matching up, then question them: 'am i not allowed to have more than 1 email address account?'

the only time i killed off a DTD voucher was in the pre-£20 cap era; even then i forgot to add a few DTD items to generate a new £20 voucher. i have been kicking myself for that mistake.

anyway, i hope the above info. helps.

I have lots of email addresses - since around the time of the Debenhams £5 voucher promo last year, strangely. :whistle: :rotfl: OH and our mums have a few each.

I agree that 'pattern' email addresses are not a good idea.
