    :)

    Fourp home - and the oven has died :eek:

    Lucky it's happened now rather than next week :) Still have top oven so can cook tea.

    MOCs - I use with the correct product as there is a paper trail via your CC. Plus it's a small town :o

    I will use freely available MOCs on different shops like the ones in the Ts mags.
    I tend to dish them out to shoppers after I've mentally added up their Dairy products in their trolley :o

    TROUTED I went to Sainsburys in Swansea this afternoon armed with three coupons one was for a free Just Milk that had Sainsbury on it printed by me also a coupon for a triple pack of uggi milk shakes with Sainsbury on it printed by me. The one they wouldn't except was a £1 off coupon for Albert Bassett potatoes because it was a safe coupon printed by me apparently it is the company policy well not a problem I just didn't get the potatoes.

    Hi there - I'm back: I insist it's 'good afternoon' as it's not yet 6pm, even though the newscaster nearly half an hour ago said 'good evening'.

    You can see the even greater problem with me, someone who thinks of very concrete rules and then exceptions to those rules. In my case (at Mr A), apparently they wouldn't accept anything *unless* it was a Safe coupon as they had so many problems with coupons other than those (they then seemed to make an exception for APGs once the lack of logic of their 'rule' was pointed out to them;) - the majority of society all do this!:rotfl::rotfl:).

    So, having been informed (albeit so indirectly, vaguely and subtly) by society that only the Safe coupons will be okay, I'd now proceed to Mr S...

    Only to discover that it now isn't Safe coupons that are allowed. Instead it's *anything except*.:mad::mad:

    'They' (Society in general, i.e. most people) do this all the time - well, not literally all the time but you know what I mean, they do quite often - change the goalposts, when it suits.:(

    LOL, I got trouted at Tesco the other day for the opposite reason. They said they only take Safe Coupons, but strangely they did accept my foil Flora MOC.

    Well I really @rsed up my Mr T meal deal shop:eek:
    2 mashed pots were in my 'muggle' shop, but SA said I had got everything for 4 meal deals in first shop?? No I hadn't!

    Off to customer services with my 2 shops, receipts and 2 mash that hadn't gone through... well what a palaver :rotfl:
    15 mins later they "voided off" all my meal deal items, but not the fillers, decided they had to get the mash with 'finest meal deal' on them (so lost the deal on those) but somehow ended up paying in total £22.22 for 4 meal deals, a bag of lemons, and 3x 10p sweets.. have £1.23 coupon...there was only 1 lasagne and no pies & I
    bought the wrong s0dding wine!!
    Still think I got a bargain:o
    In other shop used moc for fairy liquid, for £2, they are currently 24£2 and an extra 20p to be had from quidco.

    Give me another 6 months and I might get it right!:rotfl:

    A word to the wise for anyone using multiple coupons for any individual item(s) at Tesco stores in the North Wales region. It is believed that several people are systematically using multiple coupons fraudulently in order to accumulate large stock of goods to sell on at boot sales/market stalls. Due to an inordinate amount of coupons used in this manner HQ have decided to act against perpetrating individual(s) through legal means. Anyone using multiple coupons are to have record(s) of transaction(s) along with video footage sent to HQ for analysis. Anyone believed to be guilty of fraud will be prosecuted.
    Don't shoot the messenger.

    Evening all.

    Regarding the post do you mean using say 2 coupons on 1 product, or using various emails to get more nouvelle?
  • I saw a woman today in front of me in the queue at
    Tesco with a basket full of these

    scanning at 54p, not sure if they were priced up at that on SEL, i didnt bother to go and look as have plenty of shower gel but thought it might be useful to others on here;)
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

    I was trouted last week in my Saisbobs with Nouvelle safe coupons they couldn't take them so I told them I didn't want the Nouvelle and had to go to CS with guy muttering because he had to re do my other shopping and take other coupons off I had :D

    Got my Nouvelle in Mr T's
