    Bump from last night for anyone who has missed it. So far, in less than 24 hours we have raised £45 across the three charities. Well done all :)

    DONATIONS

    There has been discussion today regarding donating to the spreadsheet team and/or donating to charity.
    We have discussed this and none of us on the spreadsheet team ever had any thought of personal gain before volunteering to help.
    The idea of donating to charities is however a lovely idea and gives us all the chance to make a difference in the same way that DTD is making a difference to our lives.

    Many of us are already being charitable and there are a lot of heartwarming posts on these threads of people making shoeboxes for soldiers, donating to animal rescue centres, giving easter eggs to childrens' homes, giving food to elderly neighbours, etc, etc.
    These are all brilliant and we truly believe that spreading the benefits of DTD can only be a positive thing.

    For those who do still wish to do a donation however, we have added a new tab to the SS entitled donations. On this tab are 3 suggested charities with links to the spreadsheet donation pages for those charities. All donations are secure and go directly to the charities. The three charities here have been chosen by the SS team as being meaningful to them and with the range of the three charities there should be something that appeals to everyone.

    We emphasise that this is totally voluntary. We neither expect nor demand that people donate, but if people do wish to give something back, feel very welcome to click on the links and make a donation.

    We hope that this meets with your approval :)

    Yo can buy them singly & still get dtd. They are £1.63 each in Tesco & £1 in Asda, so a dtd of £1.26 per item, giving a cost of 37p each. Useful to do it this way if you are just looking for the odd item to make up your spend and/or voucher.

    However, to gain the maximum benefit, buy 4 which will be £6.52. You will be given DTD of £7.04, making them free plus 52p back.:)

    Same deal (prices) for both handwash & bath product.


    If i brought 12 would i get DTD £7.04x 3? thanks to anyone who can explain to my basic mind!!!! xxx

    Why doesn't the seller go and get his £18+ worth of goods from Tesco instead of accepting £14+ from ebay and have to trek to the post office to post the damn thing???

    True, you could have done a shop whilst visiting somebody, but it's rare. The store the receipt was from, is shown at the top of the receipt, so it's obvious at a glance and would arouse unnecessary attention, if you had a trout on your hands.

    Like you, I can't believe people would pay almost the value of the voucher and buy something like that off ebay, just plain madness!

    One of the main reasons people buy vouchers off ebay is for tax evasion purposes, apparently - if they are selling on ebay, they can use the money from their paypal account to buy vouchers and spend them as normal, instead of having to put the money through their bank account.

    I regularly buy voucher on ebay (for MSE reasons, not tax evasion!) I will pay 10, or 20% less then the voucher value (depending on where the voucher is for) and I only buy vouchers for places I know I will spend money anyway. I would never buy coupons on ebay though.

    I expect the bidders don't realise how easy it is to get one of these dtd vouchers.
