i've got a couple of printable JTD's but I've lost the reciept for one of them....typically the one thats worth the most too :-(

Anyone done JTD without the original reciept?

Few of my locals ever ask for the receipt and I've left my receipts at home before, when I grabbed the vouchers and forgot the receipts which are stuck by a magnet to my computer cabinet door.
I would just try to use the jtd as normal. If asked for the receipt you could rummage around in your purse for the receipt and conclude you've left it at home. Apologise then try again next time with another SA. Or:
If you are using 2 vouchers, 2 transactions in a row, use the one you have a receipt for first and gauge whether you'll need the receipt for the second. If so, before the transaction you can apologise say you can't pay for the second one and go to sort out family emergency, get more money from the cash machine, find bank card etc.

Hello again.
I'm not a troll or an elite member in hiding . Don't want to cause suspicion amongst the rank and file. I am a long time reader of all MSE foruma ,particularly old style but love yours too. You are a great bunch of people and very supportive of one another. But you are right there comes a point where lurking turns into stalking!

I am really sorry if I have upset any of you today- especially the poster with all the red angry faces - don't want to go back and check the name. My post may have been undiplomatic but I was irritated by the "battery glitch"

I am married with 2 children and work full time for a LD charity. I am the one doing the supported shops around Tesco. Staff are always kind and I will speak as I find. I have an allotment, keep hens and try and live a simple less wasteful life.
Sorry if I have offended anyone.

ok darling your a wee bit forgiven x

Hello everyone.

Can I make a few observations about the behaviour of some of the people on this thread as it flies in the face of everything MSE. Maybe it is acceptable for Tesco to be regarded as fair game but what about the " trouts" who work there. What an awful way to describe people. These are somebody's mothers, daughters and sons. Quite rightly they should show a degree of loyalty to the company that pays their wages. What about the young Saturday worker who you target for multiple coupon hits who gets a bollocking at the end of his shift for maybe taking coupons he should not have done but feels under pressure to do so by someone who is maybe more articulate or forceful than he is.
Do you ever feel guilty about the queues standing behind you as you argue over a DTD and the manager is called. The office worker who has to leave her stuff and go as she only has 30mins for her lunch break or the mum with the crying baby. You will argue that customer service tills should be better staffed but why? Not just to look after YOU surely. Don't even get me on to returned food items!

You cannot surely be short sighted enough to think that your comments are isolated in a bubble. There are thousands of people reading your comments and it won't be long before tesco ditches DTD, JTD and tightens up on coupon acceptance. This means that you will have spoilt things for the vast majority who try to work within the spirit of the law and not the letter of the law. Most people have a few coupons in their purse and wallet and are happy with this. Why do some of you have to be so greedy. Do you NEED cupboards full of batteries and Wrights flour and DVD's and well, where do I stop.....

Please try not to be greedy or unkind to people. Most people are just trying to get by.
Hope this makes you think.

A nicely worded post and its a shame its got so few thanks.

As you say, to be MSE is about getting by and saving money not about screwing things just because you can.

I've thanked ML's reply too as she too makes valid points. We are not all uncaring robots and most of us do try and stay within the rules and not be tooo greedy.............apart from ML of course who has to have the very last frozen pea out the bottom of the freezer!

The one thing I would say though, is your opinion would have garnered far more respect if you'd used your proper username rather than inventing a new one to make your remarks. I feel you shot yourself in the foot with that decision.

Morning,
I thought now was the right time to come out of lurkdom.Lack of C P skills is why it's taken so long.I just want to say being pensioners on basic pension my O H and myself found it difficult to give little extras to our children and grandchildren.So yes I've had 1p items,couple of D.T.Ds,whoopsies and coupons,all thanks to the 11+Plus.My family and friends have also greatly benefited.I was hoping to find something to post but alas not,but will keep looking because I am totally addicted to this thread and feel as though I know you.Am off now to get my Niveo deos.and cheese.Oh and got the whisky earlier.Thanks again everyone.

Annabell5 so glad to hear from you i got a cosy feeling inside when i read your post, nice to "meet you" xxxxxxx

Good afternoon everyone
I don't know if this has been posted yet just got in from Lidl
and the Cushelle 24 toilet roll is now £9.99.
going to catch up now!

Mistic

Was extremely disappointed today to find the cheese I was planning all week to get has now gone to normal price

Thought I would mention this before I go in case anyone is interested and hadn't thought of it

Have not double checked, as I cannot keep so many frozen anyway, but I am pretty sure the terms of the McCain coupon are one per product and not one per transaction so you could get 10 packets of rustic chips for £2.50 after the price flop coupon
