how do you guys afford so much ink for all these printable vouchers?

Just wanted to add, if anyone else has been having problems with Firefox and things printing properly, download version 6 from their homepage.

I even went back to IE which is sssssssslllloooooowwwwww for me but at least it prints correctly.

However, I've downloaded the new version and printed the co-op voucher and it works perfectly. :j

I've got a colour laser at home which I am using but for some of the older epson type models, the inks are about £1 each on ebay for those (think we paid £12 for 6 black and 4 x 3 colours).

thanks, will use tomorrow (hopefully) this as a different voucher to the one i recieved in my email as mine was a couponsafe on that did scan at mr t

has anyone tried this at mr T , if so did it scan or did sa put through manually , just that sometines the manual ones they call a supervisor over for and although ive done nothing wrong with my other coupons a low profile is always the best policy!

I used one today and SA did scan it.

I've got an Epson Stylus Photo RX425. Original inks cost about £30 for the set of 4 - but for the past 4 months I've been using compatibles. Infact I had a set of 4 come this week purchased through an Ebay seller. They cost about £4 for a set of 4.

I can't say I've never had problems with compatibles but for the past 3 months at least its all worked fine. I always hold my breath when I change over to new ones as that tends to be the time if its gonna malfunction that I know about it

In regards to the POS being missing. I, personally, would put it down to lazy staff or them being understaffed to be honest - some stuff has it on, some stuff doesn't in ours. I worked in a supermarket doing the POS and EPOS (as it was back then) and it was rare that a manager checked everything so if we did not get it done in time, it did not get done. A lot of people are probably off on holidays this fortnight too because of the school holidays so getting the new POS out is probably the last thing they do and stock out/people through the tills, the first.

Naughty I know, but I do not think there is anything sinister about it. I'd email Head Office and bring it up if you are worried. Or revel in the fact we know and it leaves more offers on the shelf for us I feel naughty saying that. I am doing my first big coupon shop tomorrow. Am quite excited.

I like you have has the retail experience, however while agree that some thing do go amis strange that POS that was there a week or so ago promoting DR P and just Water has now gone to be replaced with white std SEL whlie adjacent items still have yellow prom POSs a little strange, or perhaps we are just noticing more , either way as long as we get the saving im happy

and indeed it is better that the fellow MSE up here have shevles that may be a little fuller

happy couponing tomorrow , share your sucess!

Could be that they had been sent the labels to change but the offer was kept on but the staff have not changed it back.

I worked for Gateway (how long ago was that, LOL) and I was there from the manual to EPOS changeover and we literally had to get there early on the Wednesday morning and scan everything to ensure the offers had gone on as they were done at HO and sent by computer to our computers. Some things the manager could change manually but the majority was done at HO, and we was sent the labels to change. They often changed the prices centrally but would not send the correct labels, or the offer would be extended at the last minute. I cannot even, for one minute, imagine that someone at Tesco scans everything, I worked for a small store, probably a 20th the size of our local Tesco. Maybe it has changed these days or they expect the customer to do it for them.

We was due to shop yesterday but saved it for this morning because of the voucher coming out. I am learning. And I am going to try several vouchers for the Co-op as this is a big shop for me today.

Morning all

Went to M's yesterday got some free Aunt Bessies gravy and some Nivea, was going to do T's but thought I'd wait for todays DM CS, glad I did. After I'd been to M's I went to the range to pick up some crafty bits, as I do a lot; of cardmaking anyway on my way out I noticed a receipt on the floor, it was only a £6off £40 spent at tesco :eek: of all the places to womble a till spit :rotfl: So should have a pretty good shop today, if all goes well.

I finally got a reply back form uncle phil from my complaint 3 weeks ago :eek:, £10 moneycard and all staff at my store are being retrained in the coupon and voucher policies, so hope I don't have any problems today, not been for a while as the car was off the road.
