TESCO - are they having a laugh?

little_miss_messiah

Hey all

am a clubcard junkie usually but my latest round of £XX WYS £XX sent from Mr T's is a joke - £80 a week spend? I'll use the 1st one as its £12 off (will buy some spirits for christmas) but for £8 off £80 for the following 5 weeks they can whistle for it - there's only 2 of us and hubby works away during the week - I'll donate them to a friend with 3 children who can make better use of them.

Thinking the time is coming to change allegiances back to Morrisons

count yourself lucky that you have had a batch of vouchers/codes, I never get sent/emailed anything from Tesco and I spend on average £100 a week for myself and OH.

I've got £7 off £70 spend ones, I won't be using them.

I will though be using the £4 off a £20 spend at Sainsbobs.

We also shop in Tescos every week and sometimes more than once a week! We never get these kind of vouchers sent but my mum does as she shops at Sainsburys...she has just passed me a run of 6 vouchers £4 of £40 spend which I think is reasonable!

I rarely get anything like those sorts of things as my weekly spend is quite low as I live alone,but my DD did pass on a 5p off voucher from tescos online which she gave to me and it knocked nearly £3 off my monthly tankful of diesel which I found very useful.We save all of our vouchers from the points to use when we are on holiday this year we have between us around £190.00 which will help out with the 'big shop' when we go on holiday in 4 weeks time

I have found that if you stop shopping at Tesco's for a while they they send you a sheet of weekly money off vouchers to tempt you back whereas if you shop there every week they don't send any.

i go back and forwards between tescos and sainsburrys and every time i go shopping i have a voucher for one of them, always get better vouchers for sainsburrys, at the mo we have £12 off £60 spend much better then tesco £6 off we normally get

I'm the same, I never spend more than a fiver in Tescos, but just got six vouchers for £2 off a £20 spend

I do almost all of my shopping in Morrisons, just get my beer in Tesco and the odd good value item I have heard about.

Vouchers are designed to encourage you to spend more, or shop there more often. If you are already doing your weekly shop there and spending £100 there is no point in them trying to encourage you to buy more/shop more often.

As has already been said, try not shopping there for a while, and they'll have a good reason to send you vouchers.

Be careful OP about donating them to your friend. Our Tesco seems very hot on making sure your Clubcard matches the details on the vouchers recently. If your friend wants to use them she will need to borrow your Clubcard and pretend to be you!

I felt exactly the same!! £2 off £20. I think I'll just carry on spending a fiver in tescos on reductions and going elsewhere!
