Just catching up when I saw this. I live in Northern Ireland. Is there something I should be taking advantage of?

I know I do . I buy something small in sainsbobs and 9 times out of 10 I get a conditional spend coupon or I have done a shop to get a BM voucher and then use them in Toscos. The last load have been £3 off £20 spend and have used them with a pp shop to get full benefit


Oh, I've applied for a job in the new xtra opening soon. It's the 1st application I've filled in since I was 16 :eek: I've worked for the same company since then and after DS was born I became self employed so have had no need to fill any in. Don't hold out much hope but my business isn't doing as well as I thought so have to look else where for an income.

have you got a link to the tesc0 fb post:)

Just go here, either post to their wall, or pm. I pm'd because I've had better and quicker responses like that. But they're generally OK at answering you on their wall, (Unless it's hundreds of the Elite asking where the hell their price checks are!! )



ETA, sorry, I think I misread that, you were asking where my post and their response was? I pm'd them, but will copy and paste our conversation if it'll help?

"The poster/leaflet campaign is under the title "We accept all these coupons in store." They have an accompanying leaflet in store - unfortunately it states on the last line "Applicable to Northern Ireland only" so until we hear otherwise it is unfortunately not elsewhere in the UK at the moment.

I live in Northern Ireland. If anyone could tell me what this means (how to take advantage of it) I would be most grateful

It means you can spend your BMs and APGs in there too :T:T

Ah ok. Thanks.

That's handy. Don't see why they don't do this for the whole of the UK though, as I don't really see how that could be abused/taken advantage of?

I tried getting the activity books today. There was a whole shelving unit of kids books with a sign saying kids activity books. All had the 3 for £5 stickers on them. I picked up a pirate one and 2 peppa pig. The discount kicked in so I was charged the right price.

Now, although these books were all together and look alike, the pirate one has activity book in the title but the peppa pig ones have learn at home in the title. I'm now guessing this is why I was charged the correct price.

I may have to go back tomorrow and try again.

Does anyone know if you can buy more than 3 at a time. I'm guessing you can't. Thank you.

If you buy four of the pirate books and two different ones you can buy more than 3.

We have enough trouble getting t's to accept their own coupons, can you imagine how much more difficult it would be to get them to accept them from other stores?? :rotfl:

Magicowen- I didn't get chance yesterday so should be off to the post office tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on what time I finish work

I'm so glad that people are getting the kids activity books. I have been a lurker for a while so it is really nice to be able to share something with you all and finally contribute something!

I went to a different store today and got three more, so very happy!

Thanks so much for finding this. Worked for me today with Pirate Activity Book, Hello Kitty Super Sparkly Sticker Book and Winnie the Pooh 3D Summer Activity.

Caused some consternation on CS as the lady who does the books wasn't in today so she sent another assistant to clear the shelves until they could correct the error. She handed me £8 and apologised. Wish we could clone her to staff CS desks across the country

Anyone else having problems with Mysupermarket? It freezes everytime I search something.

Did a small shop in T's today. Used 3 pizza vouchers as part of my PP targeted shop, got 2 of the Casa Mama pizzas £1.50 in Asda so 50p with the coupon. Got a free value brand £1.00 pizza too.

Got a few other bits seperate, too. It was only when I got home I realised I had been charged £2.35 for a pack of ham that was supposed to be £1.35.

I told them about R3druth and P00l, it scanned at R3druth today. They seemed surprised that the tills weren't recognising them so I guess they didn't realise it was a national problem!! They contacted those 2 stores specifically, so my advice would be to mass message them on fb about specific stores! I'll tell them about PZ as well as we are quite often down that way too! I'm glad they're working in my most local now though, it's a pain in the posterior when you have to swap tills or explain what they are and what they are supposed to do with them!!

I have used several on manned tills at PZ - no problem!! Just wish the SA's in PZ did not look at you as if you had 2 heads!!!
See you all in PZ store then!! :j
