    Dolmio Question....

    I bought a couple of the Dolmio bolognese yesterday, but realised when I got home that I had picked up original, today I went to a different store and was looking for Dolmio light, as per ss, but all I could find was 'low fat' is that the right one?

    Low fat Dolmio worked for me - bought it yesterday,confirmed today :)

    Hello Walkden shoppers Adam and Picasso, that's my local too... Always on the lookout be never spotted another martian :)

    Never had any probs there and always do two shops with a barrier paying with recycled receipts. Not good for wombling though, the car park is uber litter free! :)

    Do you do two shops with the same supervisor authorising vouchers? I only do that once a week as there's one supervisor who scares me a bit (male, mid-twenties, dark hair, slim, bit camp) as he clearly recognises me every time and has a look that says, 'I know what you're up to'. I enjoy great banter with a few supervisors though who also 'know what I'm up to'!

    I also do two shops a day, but one is a cash shop to generate a new voucher.

    (I'll be in-store tomorrow at about noon - no idea what I'm buying yet though!)

    Errrr no.

    I've been target shopping for months now. Cupboards are full of Branston beans, quantamatic refills etc etc. I always shop to take advantage of offers, it's the sensible thing to do. Breaking the T&C's is another matter entirely.

    Errr yes..

    you are targeting items you know to be cheaper.. that is NOT what the scheme was for and you can be refused for doing it..

    It should be fine...but remember, if you've got for an example a £20 voucher & a £5 till spit, you need to do a shop for £25 (or more of course.) :)

    it's a £4 off £30 voucher so i did a list (i'm so sad this is a 'normal' shop to kill a voucher and i still have a list cause i have another voucher to kill so might aswell get as close to £30 of wat i need and go again next week) that came to £31 odd so £4 off for my til spit and £19.55 off for my voucher would make me very happy :D

    I always pick the young males SAs they always ask the supervisor to check the first one (sounds a bit like the guy you described) but they never call for the second one, i always say "do you know what you're doing now?" and then just remind them to checks the numbers.
    They usually then ask how i do it, so i just say i compare the 2 websites. I told a couple about the pro glide razors and they were well impressed :D

    Jude - Exactly Right, that way Tesco still get some spend through their tills in terms of cash, the way I look at it is they are getting the added spend from me over and above DTD that would otherwise have ended up in Morrison's till plus when the promo ends will need to spend the voucher values.

    As for some posters on here they will get the offer pulled far quicker a bit like when Mr T used to take any coupon off your shopping, I had saved hundreds off my shopping over several years MSE comes along people start abusing and they pull it within months, guess that is life though always get P takers.

    Thanks to all the posters on this thread

    I can remember when Asda and Tescos would take any coupon whatsover , regardless if you had the item in your trolley. Even ones just teared from a newspaper. I like you, saved hundreds off my shopping , which was and still is, very handy to makes ends meet. You will always get P takers, unfortunately.
