    I personally wouldn't do it but I know some people would.

    I suppose it depends whether you could live with the guilt eating away at you day after day. Culminating in a higher intake of alcohol, but knowing it's not really helping to get over it so much so that you would eventually admit yourself to rehab.

    But isn't easier to do what "some people would" as it could mean maximum pp each time.
    This is just a thought as I see so many peoples receipts with high price differences between stores, but the products are not what I would keep.

    Hi Fred

    If the items are not what you would keep then don't copy that shop - simple isn't it :D

    What are your thoughts on buying an item in T's for an higher price than it is in A so you receive a pp. But the next time you shop in T's you take the item back for a refund.

    Is this just exploiting a loophole because you have 28 days to take an item back if you change your mind, or would this be classed as fraud to gain a pp?

    Whether it is fraud or not I don't know but I should imagine this happens quite a lot.

    Everyone's got their own limits of what they find acceptable.

    I confess to using a £1.50 till spit off nappies the other day, then took them back to get a refund. Oh, and I sent the receipt off to Pampers to try for a tmf refund aswell. This isn't something I would do on a regular basis but I was feeling reckless :)
    Someone better send a hand cart over for me :o

    2 work because of the cost before the meal deal multi buy. ie the cost of the main being £5 or more, and 2 x mash being £5.
    I think there is one main that is less than £5 so don't get it. hth
    has anyone actually had 3 of the leaflet coupons scan against one md

    The Shepherds pie is only £4.xxx. Only 2 Finest have scanned for me - but I have managed to get the Italian or the Pies one entered manually.

    I buy clothes to get helping hand coupons and return the clothes because they never fit, Pretty much the same thing I guess?

    Thanks Snap - glad you posted that I could hopefully be doing something simple before I tackle Davids somewhat more difficult method :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    QVC have a Todays Special Value offer on ipad minis (around £320 - but that includes a case and some extras in the bundle. I was very tempted but I am a bit of a dinosaur and don't understand how even smart phones work (they had an apple phone at around £600:eek: !!!). I can manage my desk top and a cheapie tablet but thats me done (can't even manage to get photos off my phone onto my computer).


    Thank you for the info - will have a look later but OH watching cricket atm. Or golf :mad::rotfl:

    Would someone mind telling me how Ts work out their PP vouchers if they don't use MSM? Because the wine shows on MSM and you get a PP from that....

    I'm just generally confused. Every time I think I have it worked out someone else will tell me otherwise. I'm trying to be helpful but I don't want to waste your time (and mine) by posting stuff that's of use to no-one.
