    Well done - I'm still learning! Haven't yet been able to find any SB vouchers, but have had one go at combining the others. Do you use your clubcard when you do these transactions? Just wondering if it is wise in case they want to trace who's doing what... Maybe it is not a problem.

    I use my clubcard, advice has been not too. Some people have several cards & alternate. I think I'm going to use my partners card to do the big clothes shop, he can afford to get banned, I can't. :D

    Thank you! :D If I've got any 50 pointers, I use my card, if not, then I use my mums as she said she isn't bothered either way. That way, if the card DOES get flagged up, there won't be a great loss as mum doesn't really have any points. I also try to pay via cash if using my mums card.

    To honest, I can't say I'm all that worried, but it's easy to say now, when you aren't having your account spied on! :eek:

    It's certainly easy to say that now, although i doubt you would ever get hauled through the Tesco system for doing this, some of the more prolific couponers may, thats why they use different cards..........Tesco call it Policy Abuse........

    I've just used a card for the first time in months, got a quick 8000 points and then got the jitters....back to no card, its not worth it(for me anyway).after all its only one hundreth of my spend and 4 times that in deals.........far safer if you have any doubts, not to use it.

    In my early RandR days, I didnt listen to this advice, and suffered the consequences later on.................as did a few of us.

    Leadhead, Charlene's coupon use is very minimal to what some of us do, I don't think she has anything to worry about.

    I R&R'd a lot of phones & PSP's using a clubcard & nothing came back to me.
    If anything was ever said about coupon usage I'd act thick :p Not hard to do. Then say I didn't know what I could use so handed the lot over.
    Not my fault if they accept their own coupons. :rotfl:

    I had several great shops today, I bought:

    the colgate total weekly toothpaste clean (as shown on front picture of h&b booklet) cost £2.49 x 2 - it is only a tiny tube BUT Mr Welshy was impressed that it was not another bottle of bath foam LOL. I also bought original source on bogof, and 2 bottle of tesco mind and body.

    I handed over 2 x £1.25 quit old, 2 x £1.25 quit new, 1 x £2.50 h&b, 2 x £1 h&b, 1 x £2.00 beauty, 1 x £2.50 and a couple of the 50 pointers which scanned thru as 50p off.

    *** edit nearly forgot I also used 2 of the colgate vouchers one old quit and one new for money off the weekly toothpaste clean both were accepted by the till ***


    I did the same for another transaction but got Mr Welshy some gillette mach 3 razor blades which were £5 a pack (ouch) but free with my vouchers.

    I also bought: rosemary conley bars bogof at £3.99 using 2 x £2 healthcare vouchers from old and new quit and 2 x £1 healthcare from h&b so a profit there too. (I purchased 48p bag of slimfast pretzels to take it over £8)

    Welshy x
    ;) I am the only Voucher Queen in my village LOL ;)

    Did you read about the whitening toothpaste at PTS? I did :D Hope it works!!

    Will be getting some of those bars as well when the vouchers arrive! i'm so excited! Need to think of the lowest Healthcare item to take the shop over £8! I was thinking paracetomol, however, you gave me an idea as I have a voucher for the slimfast pretzels!

    p.s - didn't think to use the colgate coupon! Doh!

    I had several great shops today,

    Yeh..me too...........only thing is...theres too many coupons...its hard not to get too much off your other shopping, had a few £24 (before bogof) shops which were all successful.......

    The last one, nearly came unstuck, was down to £6 from £36, when i gave SA some £1 ones, she was happily scanning and brought my bill down to 55p, when SA behind her mentioned "only accepting 50% of bill".....I walked out with trolly while my OH paid......OH said SA just shrugged shoulders and said, "its too late now"........fortunate maybe to get away with it, but annoyed at other SA's interuption, that may have cost me a "good SA" for the future.

    Today my elvive shampoo went through for £3.48 bogof but I though it was £2.99 does this mean I was overchraged and if so should I take it back? thanks
    some of the elvive is £3.48,all mine today was at £2.98,i think you picked up 2 of the £3.48 ones by mistake
    To save time
    if you dont need extra shopping to use up coupons-get a gift card -varying amounts instead,can then be used on what you need at later date
