Things that we do that are questionable :

Actively search Tesco & Asda for discarded receipts and claim APGs/PPs.

Claim points on receipts that we find in Tesco.

Collect the £1 coins left in trolleys.

Pricecheck items that we think may give a DTD - and then buy several intending to claim DTD.

Use several different conditional spend coupons when we've only spent enough for the highest valued one.

Grab dozens of Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury magazines cos we want the money off coupons - and then use them knowing we will get a BM etc (lager/shandy anyone?)

Looking for the youngest, most gullible looking SA when we want to bend the coupon rules a bit.

Castigating SA's who won't let us get away with bending the coupon rules.

Picking up money in the car park and not handing it in.

Printing off more coupons when really the manufacturer intended only one.

Saving online coupons as PDF's and then printing and using dozens to get large quantities of free or very cheap goods.

Taking advantage of cases where we discover the tills are given double discounts (Lurpak?).

Buying masses of an item when we know that the computers are price matching wrongly and getting goods at what is clearly a wrong price (Don Simon?)

Buying items which we know we don't want in order to use a conditional spend coupon - and then taking it back for a refund.

As above to get a Sainsbury BM>

Using your works printer to print off coupons.

Using your works mailing system for your own private mail.


I'll stop there or I'll be at it all night.

Very few of us are quite as spotless as we make out.

What about scanning the safe coupons to use the same voucher more then once? Surely that should be added to the list?

Ahh saw "Printing off more coupons when really the manufacturer intended only one." that takes care of it.

Forgot to mention earlier that the wine gums that were 12p each or 11 for £1 earlier this year were in T's. Asked OH to pick up 'a few' in multiples of 11 and go through seperately as I didn't want to spoil my targeted shop. Dozy twit was told by sa that these were 36p a tube and that it was the smaller ones that were on offer. SEL was clearly in front of the others and dozy twit OH went with sa to show her where they were and let her remove the sels. DTD opportunity missed. He has much to learn:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

just clicked on the voucher, printed one shut it down by accident before I could save it and now it says already downloaded...boo must be unique barcodes I thought it was a pdf

open your printer properties, it should be there waiting to print once you connect printer, mine is.
if you have already printed, i could only get the one.

Surely I am not the only one who thinks enough already?

Would it be possible for discussions about rights/wrongs, good cops/bad cops, lines in sand etc to be continued via pm for those who are interested or via FB?

I have only had a chance to check my Extra for the ketchup, with no joy. Will maybe get to my main T's later.

If we find the large ketchup, would it be alright to take to a manned til do you think? I hate self service, and self service hates me

No 19p ketchup in my local.:(
