There is the HUGEST Tesco I've ever seen in Coventry. It's next to the Ricoh Arena (Football)...has clothes and electricals and more food than you could imagine.

If you're the other side of town (i.e near the Hospital) there's a superstore there, it's a bit older and quite a bit smaller...

If I was you, I'd spend some time at the Cathedral (old and new) and the Priory remains. Also, if it's open, the Motor Museum is great (and has a fab simulator of Thrust II).

Cannons Park shopping centre has a good-sized one, don't know how voucher friendly, but there's also Boots, Wilkinsons and Iceland there.

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/about/tour/shops/ might be a bit of help. Really depends where in Coventry you're going to be ...

There are two Tescos in Walsgrave now - one is a Tesco Extra closer to Junction 2 of the M6.

Why not look at the Free Cinema Tickets post - there is Showcase Coventry is in Walsgrave and Odeon in the City Centre. You could also try your luck at Bingo :mad:

That depends on the staff, Ive been to that one and had the vouchers scrutinized through microscopes and the next time they just scanned them in and off I went.

Haven't had a problem with the new one by J2 of the M6 (Walsgrave tesco extra) I think because it is usch close proximity of Asda it tries to compete and keeps its customers happy.

The other advantage with thsi one is Aldi is just behind it so you can get the cheaper stuff in there and just go tescoes for vouchers and stuff aldi doesn't sell.

cross point (next to showcase cinema) is a nightmare for accepting vouchers. No checkout will let you go over 10% total value. Self scan operator tells you to stop using coupons and even stood over me when i pointed out i was using tesco coupons on specific product purchases.

old superstore off a46 in walsgrave again will only let you use up to 10%-self scan coupon slots taped up last time i looked last week

cannon park near warwick uni, select your operator carefully as some will, others won't.

ricoh arena near foot stad-the operators who look like they should be generous in their scanning never are, so it's pot luck as to how many they will accept.

metro in jubilee crescent (use rarely) had a rule they wouldn't take more than 3 last time i went there 6 months ago.

I've found old superstore in walsgrave the easiest to pick up misprices in if you're that way inclined. Mind you, i use ricoh most as if i do find a misprice there, the CS staff are excellent at resolving it...unlike cross point where you can wait anything up to 45 minutes and get dirty looks + whispers from blond permed girl who is so unbelievably rude to everyone.
