For anyone that has an Epson printer that takes the monkey ink cartridges (t0891,2,3,4,6) comet are stopping selling them so the ones that are left are heavily reduced. This however does not apply to the magenta or multipacks with black but you get 10% off all of them with your perks card and its 3 for 2 on non reduced ink and paper. They take love 2 shop vouchers as well so could possibly be a very sweet deal.

I just got 14 cartridges in total (blue, yellow and magenta) for about £33. There wasn't any black which ironically was the only colour I needed.

T's is a great deal if you have any SSM vouchers for Fairy Platinum for £3 off - not sure if you can combine with the £1.50 off printable - depends on the SA

They took both coupons for me. And my T is full of trouts

Hello,

Been lurking on this board for ages and have had a few bargains and the like from all your wonderful finds, so thank you to all those that posted their coupon finds.
However, I went into our main Tesco yesterday armed with coupons for the Nature Valley Bars, Ski Yoghurts, McVities freebies and Always.
I didn't want much besides these and had a couple of coupons for each item. I went to the checkout and I got refused! It was a trainee or a Saturday girl actually on the checkout and she called her supervisor over as she had 'never seen these coupons before'. The supervisor rang through to somebody and said 'Sorry, but we can only accept one internet voucher, per transation, per customer, per day. We've changed our policy as people have been abusing it!' I felt so small but still had the steel to walk away from everything apart from the couple of extra bits and ONE of my coupon finds.
Is this really the case or did I meet a narky supervisor? I thought if you had the actual products that you had coupons for then that is fine, regardless of where the coupons have come from? Surely it's no skin off their nose anyway as they would be reimbursed by the manufacturers of the products concerned.

Would be really grateful if somebody can shed a little light on this, as I am new to couponing but it's something I would like to continue with.

:mad: :mad: I'm tearing my hair out today as my printer is playing up :mad:

I tried yesterday to print off a couple of coupons and a Tesco price promise, the text prints fine but for some strange reason the barcode isn't printing nor are the numbers that run along the bottom

I changed ink cartridge yesterday and tried again with same result, just wondered if someone here has had same problem :cool:

Any help would be great as I've got a backlog of coupons to print now

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling coupon printer? maybe issue with software rather than ink.

IMO, as barcode is not printing, there could be problem with black ink??? I had a similar problem in the past and nozzle check and cleaning had helped....give it a try....

I contacted Tesco on the 10th July on Facebook saying:-

"Would it be at all possible to be emailed a copy of the Tesco coupon acceptance policy please?

What it was, I used some of the coupons in the Tesco magazines that you sent and a couple of them wouldn't scan at the checkout and so the checkout manager had to "put them through manually". It got me thinking about which coupons you do and do not accept.

I know that you'll only accept general shop coupons or ones for Tesco so not ones that are specifically for other stores.

I also know that you have to buy the product that the coupon is for and only one coupon per item; so if a person has 2 coupons they have to buy 2 items.

But are there any other coupons that you don't accept, like the ones printed off the internet?"

and this was their reply :-

Tesco

"Yes from time to time there are errors scanning a coupon which leads to the cashiers having to manually enter the barcode.

As you previously stated we do only accepted coupons for Tesco and branded items that we sell in our stores.

We will accept coupons printed off the internet as long as they are for branded items.

You’re welcome, thanks for taking the time to get in touch.

Thank you, I hope you have a good day.

Becky – Customer Care"

So unless they've changed it since then, I think it was just a bad day.
Maybe contact their customer services - I think their maybe an address on the first page of the coupon page.
