  • And the reason there are no numbers is because you are using Internet Explorer as your default browser. Certainly IE6 does this, not certain about other newer versions.

    And no doubt the voucher had no scissor mark on the right-hand cut line?

    So the solution is...

    Use either Google Chrome, Safari, or Mozilla Firefox as an alternate browser, all work better than IE anyway.

    Just Google them and install one or all of them, and you will see your voucher in all its splendour.

    I know a work colleague who prints from work (using our antiquated IE6, and also in B&W) and has had no problems on any voucher (no numbers, no scissors, no colour), so it just depends on the store.

    Whats your local store LFL?? You're in my neck of the woods!

  • is the beef still wotking ?
    there are 2 different ones on asda and one is the same price at asda (£8.48 a kg)

    and another at £4.00 a kg so not sure if tesco will compare it with the higher priced one.


    Does anyone who as had DTD back on their beef know if asda had both these on sale when they purchased their beef from tesco.

    thankyou

    EDIT: i tried to post links but the forum won't let me cos i'm new

    Darn darn and double darn.

    Been away for 3 days for my Silver Wedding (and yes it was great weather and lovely in Stratford Upon Avon), and had tried to 'check-in' with the thread once a day using free wifi (BT Openzone), but had missed that Piz Buin had gone down at T, and the bloody SEL was still at £11.98, so when the bill came to £14.xx, I was stuck and had to drag some sausage (none DTD shop) into the DTD shop to make up the shortfall.

    Now my voucher will be much less, oh well, build it back with some Finish.

    Also bought a bottle of the Hardy's and the SEL said £7.79 and it too came back at £6.99, again meaning I had to do a 'Supermarket Sweep' to get another Muller Rice.

    It was quite funny as the SA young girl was quite quick as she too realised I was short on the voucher and we both worked out that 61p would be enough, so she scanned my 1 Muller that I had again, and I dashed to get a second one, sliding round corners and knocking at least 2 old people as I went (I shouted apologies as I vanished round another corner, and took a different route back so I wouldn't knock them over twice!)

    What a day, quite eventful on my return to DTD.
    I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing! ;)

    Ahhhh, I think you may be at cross purposes.

    Your voucher is worked out by comparing the price on the day you shopped, but added to the spreadsheet the day it has come back as confirmed.

    Ahhhhhhhh thank you I understand now what you mean. Thanks.

    Ive seen the magum icecreams for £1.44 in two of my local Tesco's now not £2.29



    Same in my local, I got excited yesterday when I spotted someone picking up a box of magnums then realised they were on offer and thats why![/QUOTE]

    These are not the correct magnums , There are 2 that are on special at £1.44 The ones you want for DTD are the £2.29 ones , Almond, White Choch and Classic .
    Never pay more than you have too

    Surely you're using a code or number rather than the full addy?

    Well, no I wasn't - just a faint pencilled in name. Nobody has bothered to look at the back of any of my receipts up till now - in fact, I've mostly had to tell them to even sign the darn things at all. Its probably time I was a bit more careful .

    Does that mean they could change the prices of the offers overnight, eg racks of lamb , beef, salmon, and we might not get our dtd for these items ?

    that could happen anyway regardless of what we put on the spreadsheet. You should ALWAYS check the items you wish to purchase on the tesco and asda websites before you shop as prices can change at any time.

    If we did it as shop day then the most recent confirmed day would always be yesterday, so it wouldn't make any difference.

    I see the ss as a guide to what is dtd (and an absolutely fantastic one too:T:T) but tesco and asda websites should be checked before shopping to check prices

    thank you so much to all those who keep the ss updated :j:j

    Thanks for helping me , I think the ss team are fantastic !!! Thank you to you all.

    Fantastic! A friend of Martin!! Yes, today was the first time a supervisor wasn't called.

    Did you take all the racks of lamb??!! I can't bear to think that someone actually paid the asking price for them...

    Nope, wasn't me! I've only ever had four of them (all bought on the same visit about a fortnight ago). Did you have all the Chorizo the other day?!
