Using printed coupons at Tesco

Hi this is my first post so hope it is right place.
Just like to let you that I tried to use a coupon the other day at my Tesco and they said that they dont take coupons printed on the computer. It was all quiet embarressing as the supervisor was called over and everyone behind was looking at me!

    And they've announced a £2Bn profit ! That's customer service for you. Where did you print them off ? Try one of the home delivery codes - you can save quite a bit on those.

    Where are you Big Chops? My local Tescos (Brooklands) doesn't take printed coupons either, it is their store policy but it isn't advertised anywhere. They aren't bad about taking proper coupons though. I wouldn't mind but all the branches seem to be left to make up their own minds then leave you to find out in the most embrassing way!

    Some store do some don't. My local store will take all scannable coupons and also will type in the codes if they won't scan.

    I just try to make sure that they look as 'real' as possible. I print them in colour and cut them out really carefully and most of the time the peple at the tills don't even notice they are printed. Just go to the till with the person who looks as if they wouldn't care if u had loads of vouchersi.e a young person who is usually too busy chatting to their freind on another till or someone who looks new. I know its cruel but it works best for me!

    What a great tip ! Only problem, my colour laser costs a bomb to print anyway, so most vouchers aren't worth printing.

    Superfurry, I have bought a cheap printer £30 delivered epson c46

    and bought my ink from 7dayshop.com for £1.99 each cartridge - black and colour - I have saved a fortune - the vouchers print out well and you will get your money back off the printer in no time via the savings.


    Nice to see the Wrexham logo on the bottom of your thread - my 3 brothers were at the match - I have just seen a pic of them on a website.
    All credit cards paid off.

    Sainsburys send those vouchers to you when you have points on your Nectar card.
