    Why do you buy them from the store anyway, better to buy from newsagents or something, then they wouldn't ask questions!



    So let me get this right, I could pay my weekly shopping with the voucher's and the cost of buying the paper, using the self scanners, I don't actually need to buy a book or anything..

    the vouchers will come off my food bill at £4 a voucher?

    The reason so many of us buy the papers from Tesco is that we can buy them with coupons rather than cash.

    Also sometimes you get till-spit vouchers for extra points when you buy a newspaper and we hand these in to add to our clubcard totals.

    Book tokens are in the Daily Mail twice per month, usually on a Fri and Sat. They are usually valid till the end of the month.
