Are they letting you use them at the till in Tesco, even if you haven't bought the book?
I got a voucher yesterday but haven't used it yet so was unsure of getting another 'til I know Tesco will take it.
Thanks in advance.I'm so sorry if you were enjoying this thread and mine is the last post!!
I seem to have a nasty habit of killing threads!

Yes, Tesco ( and probably other stores) accept them as just another coupon against any shopping !!
I only gleaned this info from fellow posters just before Christmas, and it is saving me a small fortune - it is especially useful when the sa say they will only accept ONE coupon - bring out your £4 book coupon - or £2.60 Harpers Bazaar, and see who laughs last !!
Again, as in with ANY coupon acceptance, it depends on the store, the manager, the sa, the supervisor and the time of day.
The moral of the story is, if you don't try, you will never know. If you get knocked back on ANY coupon one day, say "ok" - pop it back in your purse, and try again another day.
Also as lots of posters have commented, it is always best to test the water with ONE coupon first to see if it
a) Scans ok
b) will be accepted
If you get the green light - go buy half a dozen more papers - esp if you have a nice long expiry date
