Hi Tweets

Sorry for being misleading ... there are no £12 coupons for the knives offer.

It's just that when you buy the scissors/chopping board with the 70% off coupons the item goes thru the till at full price e.g.

• scissors = £9.99
• chopping board = £26.99

And then after your basket has been totalled ... the 5 coupons you've collected take off the 70% (£7 for the scissors and £19.00 for the chopping board).



For most of the knives the 70% is £12 and the price to pay is either £4.49 or £4.99 ... which if you have a £5 off wys £40 makes one of them free.


Hope this makes sense.

Thank you dcon that makes sense now. :T

Now it's a fantastic saving don't get me wrong but I really don't understand the logic as to what illnesses are classed as applicable for free medication and those that aren't. I've been taking prednisolone steroids (and about 20 other drugs daily) since I was 5 (now 24) as my body doesn't produce cortisole naturally (which is apparently the criteria for receiving free meds)...however a diabetic will receive insulin free because their body is lacking in it. I know I'm blond but really I see no logic in this whatsoever! My Father has MS and Mum has something like arthritis and both of us are also blood clot sufferers....but for some reason none of this makes us exempt?! MADNESS!

Diabetis is a serious ilness you know
My dad got free meds for his diabetis because if he had to pay £7.20 for each prescription he'd be in perminent debt. so much other stuff can happen to your body because of it
psoriuses (sp)
angina
strokes
losing limbs

I find this really offensive.
i lost my dad 24th november 2009 when i was just 19 and he was 48
far too young to die!!!

In my life ive had to stand there and watch my dads face fall to one side whilst hes having a stroke in front of me several times
watch him have angina attack after angina attack
watch his whole hands/legs seeze up and him not be able to move

in fact ive spent my life slowly watching my dad die in front of me until just after his 48th birthday he has to have his foot removed, then caught ceedif from the filthy hospitals, then have his whole leg removed, then catch mrsa then watch him die

So sorry but i would have rather had to pay for all his prescriptions and still have him here than get free ones but still lose him

its just money, moneys nothing

Oh & this isn't Tesco but whs re the gift card glitch it is sort of working in a big store near me, hope this makes sense but they will do it if you buy something else will not put change on gift card. So for example big bar of galaxy card and gift card & reusable carrier £15.08 pay with card and so on. I know others where getting amazing deals but I thought I should mention this stores interpretation of the memo.

I thought that their new t&c's said that you couldn't buy a gift card with a gift card!! How is this working? Are you basicly getting the chocolate and card for 8p? :cool:

My nephew had no problems doing the original glitch today, I think he only did a few but deffo still working. He said he was up around £30 today

This might be a good JTD comparison to use the lenor SSM coupons.

T's £2.25
A's £2.24 or 2 for £3..

Buy 2, use 2 coupons... = £2.50 + £1.50 JTD which should make it (if it compares, it does online) £1 for 2 bottles...

No I hadn't even thought about appealing if I'm honest We have all just accepted paying the charge and I am grateful that atleast the pre payment certificates are available otherwise I'd be upwards of £300 per year :eek:

I've just read my post again and I sound a little crazy! Sorry I don't want anyone to be offended, it's not that I have anything against diabetics or anyone else that gets their prescriptions free, I just feel that the guidelines are not very well explained at all and I'm all about fairness, what's good for one has to be good for another IMO:A (although I know this is far too idealistic in this day and age....god I sound like my grandmother!:rotfl:)



Nope I got the Galaxy Promises in my local superstore, so definitely worth a look

Tricia, I feel for you and it must have been really hard for you to go through it with your dad.Fudges post obviously hit a nerve with you, which some posts do sometimes. I remember a while back someone posted a thing about kids that were brought up in the 70's/80's and how they played outside and stuff and lived in asbestos houses, My dad died from asbestosis so the post really bothered me. If you look and I think you might have missed it fudge did post after that she didnt mean to offend anyone:(
