Hi everyone

I have been feeling slightly ashamed to admit this but this thread has somehow eluded me before this evening and I have been having a ball reading through as many pages as I have been able to so far.

I wanted to say hi and thank everyone for contributing to what I think is a wonderful place for advice and information.

I have a couple of questions, if anyone could take the time to answer them for me I would be extremely grateful. I expect they are pretty basic to most of you

Question 1
What is the turnaround for JTD, do they email you the coupon to print yourself or do you have to wait for them to be posted?

Question 2
Am I correct in understanding that when prices are advertised online at T, for example 'was £2 now £1' but the price next to it and the price it enters your basket at is say '£1.50', that is a guaranteed DTD? Or can they alter the price you pay after you submit the order or something?

I am new to website ordering, sorry if that is an obvious question.

Question 3
If something is BOGOF in T and cheaper in A, do you get JDT for each of the items, ie the free and the paid for?

The main thing for me as of today is that I have an extremely tight food budget. I would love to get ANY free food or JTD as it would go a long way, but I am concerned with spending some of my budget on something I wouldn't have trying for a JTD and finding it doesn't work, or the turnaround is not quick and then not having the rest of my food money. So been trying to get my head around all of this.

Any advice is appreciated.

Answer 1: They email you a web link with the coupon on. Normally within 24 hours. Say I went on price check and inputted it in at 6pm I would expect the email come lunch time 11-3pm.

Answer 2: Pretty sure they can alter the price as it's only a guide price.

Answer 3: Normally if you buy 2 items which are BOGOF the price check will alter the price and split it up by the discount. So for example cheese is BOGOF in T at £3.98 and £2 each in Asda. If you buy two you won't get a JTD back of anything.

I would start of with the goodfellas frozen pizzas. Buy 2 for £2.68 each then use a £1 price drop coupon for when you spend £5 or more on frozen food. Then you should get a nice £3.36 voucher back p.s. tip remember that they price check the whole basket. So best to go through the pizzas in a seprate transaction.


HTH!

did anyone answer the question i saw earlier about being able to use 2 price flop coupons on 4 goodfellas pizzas??:D

Mistic

Thanks so much for the welcome and quick replies! That cleared up a lot.

And LovingTescoForever I will definitely try that pizza deal, so excited to try one of these I am considering setting my alarm early in the morning so I can run in and get one before anything else. :rotfl:

Thanks guys, great to be a part of this!

When I was in T's this afternoon I spotted this with all the mothers day gifts.It had a £1.75 SEL so I picked one up because that I thought that can't be the right price, fully expecting to get DTD but it went through the till at £1.75.All the other sets ranged from £5 to £8, so it's definately been priced wrongly. It's the sweet mandarin & grapefruit set and the handwash is a huge 500ml with a 250ml indulgent body butter and a sponge thingie. This is in a lovely box with a gold ribbon and would make a lovely pressie for £1.75.

Sorry to quote myself, just found it on direct

Was £7 down to £3.50, knew it was too cheap at £1.75

Hi Mistic - I am relatively new and have found this forum so helpful - I am no expert on the questions you have asked but can see lots of your Q's have already been answered.

I think it was suggested they buy them in 2 transactions both over £5 would seem a good idea to me , it's hard work shopping these days!!
