    Not sure why you get on your high horse about this, so regularly?

    People will do what they do. It's their conscience.

    Not yours. You go your way, and let others go theirs.

    I think Moonie does DTD a fair bit - I don't think he is moaning about people doing it, he just objects to people not wanting to admit that they are breaking all the T&Cs and going out of their way to fleece Tesco ie he's not saying don't do it, just have the guts to admit that we are being VERY devious!

    I don't agree with some of what he says - but he does have a valid point and its no good us trying to pretend that we are all honest and respectable when we are nearly ALL taking Tesco to the cleaners as often as we can manage!

    i dont even mind if people dont want to admit there flouting the rules , but dont be calling others greedy and saying there spoiling it etc when really we all know there doing the exact same.. maybe not to the full extent as others but there still doing it..

    theres no inbetween if we hones.. your either flouting them or your not.. 2 shops a day or 5.. its the same..

    The tesco superfit (on the ss I think) compare to Asda - 2 packs for £13.98 as opposed to £10

    Most of us keep our shopping expeditions under wraps, and I'm sure, many of us do wonder when it will end. So we push the boundaries, to accommodate any withdrawal of the promotion.

    I doubt many have the gaul to do 2 consecutive shops in one go, let alone 7!

    Lots are limited by distance, or accessibility of other stores in their area.

    Our DTD'ing is presently, hardly a ripple on the pond to T's. .... note, presently!

    It's not the same actually. There is a difference between 2 and 5 shops per day. It depends what level of greed you as an individual are comfortable with.

    Just caught up and I can't say I am suprised that there is another drama, this dtd certainly brings out the absolute best and worst in people doesn't it.

    I guess each person will do as many shops as they feel they need to, whether they quietly lay their gratitude to the people who work hard to keep the spreadsheet going that they have graciously used, and then there are those who push the limits to breaking point, shouting it from the rooftops in a less than reserved manner expecting people to be impressed without so much as a thank you. I think people are bothered less by the amount of vouchers used in one go than the way you present yourself on this forum. I imagine it wouldn't be long until said person is banned fromthe store due to breaking terms and conditions going over monthly household limit but that is for security and management to pick up on, sooner rather than later no doubt.

    I for one don't really care how many shops people have done, or how much they have bent the rules or fleeced tesco or how their garage is full to bursting point that they need to buy a shed, I do like hearing of people saying thank you, people contributing to the ss and those who have been hit hard being able to afford a little bit of the small luxuries in life so many take for granted, and those who donated not just items like dog food and items to be sent to our soldiers but those who contributed to red nose day and the Japan relief fund.

    Can we all be nice to each other, we are all from different walks of life and whether we like it or not we all share the forum, live and let live...
