I'm not sure if I should be posting this in red or blue!

I tried to get the Dettol handwash machine at T*sco, it had gone up to £9.99, but they had one in Wilko's for £4.98 and took the voucher no problem.

Wilko's also had deal on Cushelle £3.50 for 9 I think, but I hadn't printed the voucher, so need to investigate that further.

I'm also not sure if this would be the place for this question, but how do you organise your coupons, I'm getting a bit overwhelmed and confused. I can see me wasting my efforts if I can't keep track of them.

Hi ,I USE A 6X4 Photo album it has about 20 double sided plastic sleeves ,I bought it in Boots 75% off sale last year!:)Knew it would come in for something!

Be careful with that one expressman, it's a personalised coupon for you, shows your name and email address. Just a heads up.

Re coupon organising I am a total cheap skate I will admit I use the empty zip pouches that you get no7 facial sponges in. I get those when they are free in boots with the £5 no7 vouchers then keep the little zip wallets I have one for each of the supermarket specific coupons then one for safe coupons and one for use anywhere coupons hasn't cost me a penny and they seem to work perfectly

basically they are wrong
contact tesco HO
details on 1st pages of coupon thread

I then contacted Tesco and they phoned me to say that they (someone called Luke) aren't taking printed vouchers. I will be interested to see what others think.

I posted on HotUkdeals about this and got this reply,

I was told the same thing when I tried to use a voucher I printed off the internet for Mccain oven chips.

Hi myrtleturtle,

I couldn't see the contact details you mentioned (head office - contact details 1st pages coupon thread) - I emailed grocery customer services and they initially rang me back to say Tesco weren't taking them.

Since then, Tesco Customer Service (at 15:55 today) has emailed me back:

"After looking into this for you, I’ve found that we do accept coupons from the internet, whether they’re printing in colour or black and white, as long as you’ve purchase the product on the coupon, it’s in date and it doesn’t look like a photocopy. So, I’m sorry the staff member in store told you they couldn’t accept it."

Hopefully, that will be end to that! I'm going to print that email and keep on me at all times when going into my local Tesco.

Thanks for your advice and I'll let you know if I still have problems.

Just noticed Baby Zilli, 1st and 2nd stage puree's are 55p and 85p respectively in Waitrose.

Not checked in store but on mys*perm*rket.

Thanks to those who have shared their coupon organising tips and ideas, I'm still contemplating the best way forward for me, so keep those ideas coming!!

Would just like to say to anybody experiencing getting refused web printed coupons, I find that printing them on thicker paper / card rather than normal paper, seems to throw the cashier off track a bit, as the feel of them they seem to take them as being got off the back of a magazine or something.
