    I went to Tescos last night with a variety of vouchers, Safe coupons, Tesco JTD, the £5wys voucher, McCain print out, cut out from a magazine voucher. The girl took the £5wys, Tesco JTD, magazine cut out, but told me they had stopped accepting internet print outs!!! I was a bit put out by this and told her they were accepting them two days ago, so she went to check and the supervisor said all the managers were in a meeting and to put them through as long as they weren't photocopies (!). So TBH I don't know if I will be able to use my internet print outs in the future, i'll be gutted if so.

    Oh, and she also wouldnt let me buy the £4.99 Dettol Handwash with the £5 voucher - she said it wouldnt go through as it the voucher was more than the product!

    This was at W£st D*rringt*n

    I went to T's last night with similar coupons to you and ever single coupon went through fine except for one head and shoulders and she manually input it for me!

    I think some stores are just Arsy for the sake of it but I spoke to Tescvo last week when I was told that unless they scan they can't take them and I was told this was untrue - if I've bought the product and it's in date etc they have to take it!

    Assume this is for Tesco - hope so as I've no condtional spends left until Monday :(

    I also got a £10 voucher in the post today and I've spent it already. I went straight to Superdrug and bought 2 books of 1st class stamps :T
    In the price flop brochure I noticed last night a really gorgeous shift dress for £10 so I went to a big store today and thye were £18 :mad:
    So I went to CS and showed her the advert and she went off to talk to someone came back and said the price flop brochure was just a guide for prices ???? Anyway she did put it through for me for £10 :T
    Might be worth asking at CS if anyone else wants one. They are quite long, just below the knee so might be too long if you are shorter than 5 4 or dont like dresses touching your knees. Also they are very long and straight so you might need to get a size or 2 bigger than your normal size. I started off with a size 18 :eek: but it was too big on the chest so we trailed around 4 stores to try and find a size 16, eventually finding one.
