Well I got a free fiver from Tesco today along with two petrol vouchers. Bought a car seat, which took me over £50 so used a £5 off a £50 shop till spit, and received a fuel voucher. I then found out that the car seat was cheaper on Tesco direct, so I took it back to the store and ended up getting a full refund - they didn't take off the £5 voucher, and I got to keep the fuel voucher

The other voucher came from the Princes tuna - still marked up at £5 but goes through at £4 - was kind of hoping it went through at £5 so I could show them the online price and get DTD... now that really would be a saving!

One thing I want to point out though, is that the vouchers are not always worth the extra outlay - is everyone working it out before they buy? As it seems that some people aren't.

Basically, the Coke cans are a complete waste of money (as has been pointed out earlier!) - it doesn't matter if you were planning to buy them anyway, as you can buy them much cheaper both from Tesco and other supermarkets.

The tuna may be worth it...

For me, it wasn't worth buying at £5, but is just worth it at £4.

I buy Value tuna as I only cover it in mayo anyway, so for 4 tins (currently 45p, although usually more like 60p) I would spend £1.80, meaning that I've spent £2.20 extra to get this voucher. Remember that if you wouldn't have bought tuna anyway you have just paid £4 for the voucher!

My tank holds 50 litres, so I will wait till I'm very low on petrol and put say 47 litres in (it's never going to get completely empty!) - the fuel voucher would thus save me £2.35 - a saving of 15p! (19p if you count the clubcard points earned from buying the tuna! ).

TBH, my savings are negligible so it was hardly worth buying - it's only really worth it if you have a big car.
Also, the only reason I will fill my tank completely is because I'm going on holiday soon so will actually need a full tank - It's not worth me doing it otherwise as the weight of the petrol in the car affects the fuel efficiency... has everyone taken that into consideration?

I don't mean to sound negative, just trying to show that unless you really work it out, you may end up losing money.

agree, have a large tank but even so ,did the calculation as I posted and still did not justify the Tuna and definatly not the coke, one thing I am not going to do is bulk buy fuel, price has already come down by 2p a litre here this weekend

You can buy these vouchers off of ebay cheaply and it works out a good saving. I bought 20 vouchers for 7.95 and using the first 3 I saved 13.40! Worth looking into....
