    My answer below is relying on your £2 off £8 all being the same voucher.

    You can use as many of the same vouchers as you like.......providing you use 1 for each £8 before bogof you spend.........which isnt a good deal for you, as there are lots more healthcare vouchers out.

    At the moment it is possible to spend £8 before bogof (£4 after)on healthcare, and hand in 3 different £2 off £8 and two £1 off £4 coupons......giving you £4 profit on your £4 spend.

    The £1 off Plax, is only(or always was) off Plax.......this was actually on bogof earlier, and could come on again in a weeks time or so.

    Really, you need to try and get more coupons...you only need a different £2 off £8 and your stuff becomes free.
    Couponing....."every little hurts"

    Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
    But all the people can't be all right all the time. .........I think Abraham Lincoln said that.

    Yesterday I used the '50p off £2 spend on wholefoods' voucher successfully but I had only bought a pack of Brazil Nuts that I thought was a wholefood, and they were about £1.80 (I had not noticed the minimum spend).

    But as it worked anyway, it either means that:

    my bananas also count as wholefood, they were next to the brazil nuts, or
    my pilau rice counts as wholefood (but it was from the chiller, I thought not) or
    the voucher works on any wholefood purchase even under £2 (or even better, maybe it works on anything but haven't tested this)?



    Today I used 8 in one transaction & all I had were a few apples & bananas.

    Me thinks they will scan with anything & the till accepts any amount :)

    I didnt have any of the ski coupons so havent tried those yet
  • I went into tesco earlier just to use up my toiletries vouchers. I tried the wholefoods and the ski vouchers - the wholefoods one scans but the ski one doesn't. Hope to help someone.

    After a huge crackdown by my regualr tesco (and my lad being away...) i tried another store with disastrous results the other week... my friend did 2 clothes shops no problem and i went behind her... he scanned everything wrong and then had to call the supervisor :( she said "you need to spemd £300 on clothes to use those vouchers!" needless to say i left all my shopping ;)
    anyhow i went back to my regular tesco last night and my lad was back YAY!!! I bought myself 4 pairs of shoes and dd loads of summer clothes for next year (as she already has lots in this size ;):) ) My sister also came with us and got my dd more clothes for next year as well as clothes for herslef. I spent £146 and got my bill down to £36 :D my lad never bats an eyelid and hes relaly chatty and nice. I even found get active packs and the new old style handb! So they are relaxing again :)

    Thanks for this, Im just about to do a rather large tesco shop and was getting quite worried after reading from everyone that they were tightening up. Im planning on using more coupons than ive ever used before. Little bit scared but now i feel slightly better about it :cool:

    Just give it a go, at worst you can get your shopping refunded or change your mind at the CO.

    Good luck

  • I always find at my tescos that the best time to go is at the weekend. In the week it is full of middle aged women on the cashdesk who will hardly ever take vouchers, but at the weekend all the teenagers are quite happy to take anything that scans!
