You are kidding right?? Tesco wouldn't take a 20p coupon. Things are desperate on their part. I'd have left your shopping in disgust!!! Then they could pay somebody to put it all back.

Will be Tescoing tonight. This will be after my visit to Iceland and Netto on the way home. I buy the cheap stuff at Iceland and Netto and use my coupons for stuff they haven't got, at Tesco's.

Good luck next time.

In Tesco today I tried to use the Times coupons from yesterday and was (nicely!) refused. I was told it was now policy only to accept coupons if the item had been purchased.

Seems I wasted money on the papers rather than saved by using the coupons as was the intention.:mad:

Some stores may not be quite so strict but apparetnly head office had sent written communication to all employees on some regular bulletin.

This has happened before and it always seems to come back so heres hoping....

Last night I used the £4 DM book coupon, a few Sains, a Somerfield and several Quit pack £1.25 and 40p coupons (only bought 4 Aquafresh on BOGOF to qualify!) ........... a £35 shop down to £17... long may it continue.

Will try the Times £1 coupon today with my last £4 DM one.

So let me get this right...

I can use any vouchers in Tesco!?!?

If there is one saying 50p off apples... I don't need to buy apples... I can just get 50p off shopping total???

Or if one says £1 off shopping at sainsburys... i can use it in Tescos????

I love coupons and am alway polite and cheerful with my Till Assistants, it does vary from one assistant to next, but sometimes you get a good one (and sometimes- more often than not- you dont). On the whole it works out well.
The H & B coupons and the Quit Kit ones have been the best. I need some blue clothing coupons to mix with the Quit kit ones (happy to swop if anyone is interested).
