    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.

    :wall: please tell me how it is different???

    you are allowed to do 1 a day..

    person a does 2
    person b does 5

    they BOTH do more than 1..

    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..

    What about those of us that have no intention of going more than every couple of days. Going more than once a day is taking the pi$$ and is going to stop it. I have seen enough of these to know that!

    I do want to say thank you to those taking the trouble to do the SS. I understand why people are going so often -each deal doesn't last long and if it is something you use you wan to grab it. If you feel you ought to think about a disguise then you are overdoing it!

    Maybe the point is it's not your place to lecture.

    When people had missing vouchers the other days you were very waving the 'fraud' banner around regarding people changing the time by a minute etc.

    Being judgmental isn't very helpful.

    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...


    Well said! :T:T

    It would be morally different. Make of that as you will.

    I'm getting a bit worried now - you and I seem to be finding too many points of agreement!!! (I still can't get any positive vibes with Berberwhatshername though).
