think I may be jumping in on this without reading back on the thread...


but those asking about the use of orchard cheese vouchers and CC vouchers on the meal deals in T watch out that you dont confuse the 2 deals.


I used on monday...£3 orchard cheese ...£1 tesco finest main meal and 110 pints for finest wine and a PP I also had....it all worked well on the £10 deal


howeve I had a look at the £20 valentines and was unconvinced that it would work the same because the cheese for the valentines is priced at £2.50 per portion as opposed to £3 in the normal deal which would mean that you would only be able to take advantage of the £2 spend if you bought 2...so both desserts were cheese...however its possible that you could get away with a second cheese voucher as you were buying 2 but that might be more up to the individual assistant to put that through rather than it clicking through automatically...
Again with the wine...im not sure that the sparkle would be included...


I therefore thought that using the vouchers on the standard £10 meal deal was a better option than trying them on the valentines deal...


Appologies if ive just requoted what anyone else has already said!

Just incase its also not been mentioned...
Waittrose have bought out their valentine offering and its IMO slightly better than the T one as its wine and chocs ...for £20

But TBH..I'm opting for the morrisins....£9 without fizz...or possibly just the reduced steaks!

someone has already said on here that the prosecco in the £20 t's meal gave them a £3.99 pp as it compared to a's

Thank you so much for this. Came on here to ask why this is so much better than the normal Finest Meal deal for £10 which would give you the same number of meals etc but two bottles of wine?

Mind you, I love Prosecco and am very tempted by that PP! I also have two 110 extra points wyb finest wine (different bar codes, both in date) and a 50p off Finest chilled ready meal which I presume will work with the meal deal.

I've not done Orchard. Does it take up a lot of time please? Must have missed a day or so when presumably people discussed it.

Thanks in advance.

Only one bottle of wine

Not sure if posted but in W H Smiths you get a voucher with your receipt £5 off a £15 shop. I spent 49p and got a voucher valid from next Monday. I checked to see if it worked for the man behind too as he was only buying a newspaper. He got the voucher too and then gave it to me

i got a £5 off when you spend £12 voucher when i picked up my free card at smiths the other day

i guess its horses for courses....and down to personal preference...I got my standard meal deal free by using orchard/cc vouchers and a pp...and 110 points thrown in....so having to pay anything for the £20 deal automatically makes it a non starter for me!

Good morning all hope the elite are well and did not get to much damage,from the weather,
rant alert .......
why are people so self centered got up this morning really pleased not much damage second rose arch down and a few fencing panels but was quite lucky, then phone started ringing everyone wanting oh today to help, told everyone the same will put them in order of urgency, then a lady from abersoch phones , needs oh today i asked what was wrong she said small tree down , garden a mess and her chairs need retreiving from next doors garden, told her he will get there but not for a few days as elderly couple blocked in and half a mile drive take priority, then other people with trees blocking doors or any thing else dangerous, but she wanted him today offered double the wage, i said no then she said she would go else where, told her feel free to, she then starts ranting about never being treated so bad, i ended up putting the phone down. she made me:mad::mad:
then oh phones we have 3 large trees down at the land luckily 2 went in to the field but the third went into neighbors house flattening her fruit cage and a bench:eek: luckily lady was lovely and said if he gets the tree out when he has time then rebuilds the fruit cage she will be happy:) and we have no electricity
so hope everyone else fairing better

On the twitter feed of our local newspaper last night lots of useful info was coming in from people in the area as to where trees had fallen blocking roads, which bits of our M6 section was shut, blocked or restricted and what was happening at our local train station which had to be evacuated as part of the roof was blown off.
And inevitably one person from a very posh area complaining that the wind was blowing wheels bins over.
As my OH said !!!!!! :rotfl:

Orchard is like buzz but you get useful MOCs instead. Its not too time consuming - if you can take a photo of the food item you have bought and wittier on a bit about how you used it then you get useful Tesco cc points - much like we do here on the elite, review things and suggest meal ideas and how to use left overs etc.
There are masses of mini surveys to compete when you first join but mostly taking a few seconds - stuff you can do whilst watching the TV.

So far its been cake, meat, root veg and cheese so mostly everyday items and few restrictions as to what you can buy.

Think the OP is working on buying 2 x £10 meal deal rather than one for £20.

The macaroni cheese compares £3.60 v £3.25.

Roast spuds in goose fat £2.60 v £2.00

Creamy mash £2.60 v £2.00

If you have the Danone moc, Shape 4 packs compare £1.50 to £1.00 so free with the £1 moc.
