Am I another one who's missing the point here? I would never have thought of using a voucher when I hadn't actually bought the product. Maybe I'm just too much of a wimp but I would probably get embarrassed when I was refused.

good..their is nothing worse than waiting behind someone who have loads of coupons ,half of which do not scan..then the cashier rolling down the receipt loooking to see if they are on the till roll..I for one thinx it is straightforward /fair/sensible just to use coupons for stuff you are buying{which is always stipulated on the coupon anyway]

inclined to agree

OK you lot ........ the reason I visited 6 is as follows.

2 are less than a mile from work.
1 is on the way to my wifes work (I nip in before I pick her up)
2 are on the road where I take my daughter for some hospital treatment and one is on the way home from the hospital.


It's not a daily thing but it does enable me to use small amounts of vouchers at eah shop so it is worthwhile.

I used to but since being on here I've asked politely if the CA will scan my coupons and if they've accepted them I've been happy to have the amount deducted. If they don't go through then it's no big deal.

And this my friend is exactly the way we should use coupons. If they accept them great if they don't then just put them back in your pocket and try again another day.

Thank goodness for that. The thought of visiting ONE Tesco store brings me out in a cold sweat - I thought you were doing it for the fun of it!! All the best to your little one.
