I'm so excited and it's all thanks to you lovely people! :j:j:j

Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me get my first price promise vouchers! :T:T:T:T:T
:beer::beer:

I've just come back from Toscas (or whatever you call Mr T's shop) and I managed to get... not just one, but two 'Price Promise' vouchers :j(I was so elated when I got the first one I told my dh to stay in the car while I went back and did another little shop)! :rotfl:

The first time I went in, I wanted to buy some things I needed including some stuff on offer as well as try to get the glitchy Finest burgers and Dr Oetker pizzas so I split the things in my trolley and paid in 2 batches (first batch had everything on offer that I thought would probably be cheaper in Toscas and I put these through separately so I wouldn't cancel out the glitchy burgers and pizzas in my second batch of shopping). After I put the first lot of shopping through the cashier announced cheerily, "You've saved £1.61."

"Oh that's good," I replied equally cheerfully as I loaded my burgers, pizzas and fillers onto the conveyor belt, crossing everything I had in the hope that this lot would give me some money back!

When the cashier gave me the 2nd receipt, she looked rather shocked as she announced, "You have £10 off your next shop!"
"Oh that's marvellous," I replied, trying to look the picture of astonished innocence! "I wonder how I managed that?"

"That's the maximum you can get," she replied, "at least that's the most anyone has ever got coming through my till anyway," (to be fair she looked very young so might not have been working there long).

After I got the £10 voucher for the first shop - (I bought 3 packs of the Finest burgers and 4 Dr Oetker pizzas plus lots of fillers) I went back in and bought another 3 packs of Finest burgers and some more fillers (unfortunately they had sold out of pizzas) I went through the SS tills and I got a voucher for £6.12. :j

TBH, I probably bought more fillers than I needed to as I was worried something wouldn't work!:o

I'm also not sure whether I did it wrong by getting the pizzas and the burgers in one shop - any advice gratefully received.

I would like to go and get some more burgers (and pizzas if they are back in stock) tomorrow. I'd be really grateful if someone could tell me whether, if I use the vouchers I got today to buy the burgers tomorrow, will I still get another 'Price Promise' voucher back or do I need to pay in full to get a voucher?

I also have a £5 off a £40 spend voucher - can I use that?

Thank you all again for your warm welcome and great advice.

An extra 10p-20p is much better than losing £10 because not enough items
Yes
Yes before you hand them the pp

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I'm sure I'm the only one using price vouchers in my store too - we are in a minority believe or it not and the ones getting anything at good value whilst everyone else pays over the odds on almost everything(:rotfl: - I can well have a laugh at that!:rotfl::rotfl:):T:T:T

As for those 'saved' coupons - I don't usually like them!:rotfl: To me they mean I've done something wrong - and I've therefore never ever had such a coupon! It more likely means you've done it right though - split your shop correctly, even if the first shop (which gave the worthless piece of paper "saved":( coupon) could technically probably have been got cheaper elsewhere (using APG vs T probably) but then you'd have had to have made a journey to A as well and if that wasn't already what you needed to do, would have paid more fuel and thus paid more there. It made sense to shop for both shops at T (as well as saving time, if that has a value too).

Out of interest (oh no:D:rotfl:...) what exact items did you buy on the first shop? (Pedanticness required!:()

(I say 'oh no' as it's a probably academic, 'for what it's worth' curiosity now, apropos of nought - and just exists for me to break it down, split it up, put it onto each shop and comparison accurately and say where each item should go:rotfl::rotfl: . Well done:T and TIA!)

Well done and welcome to the merry go round.

Yes you can use both PP vouchers tomorrow and you will still get another PP back if it is still working, you can also use any conditional spend vouchers too, but if the £5 off £40 that you have got is the helping hand voucher from the till, that one is not valid until Monday.

Just had another thought Bubbs. If there is any major expenditure you have been contemplating, it might be worth using the money for that, rather than putting it somewhere it will just earn peanuts. I don't mean "frivolous" type spending like holidays, but things like home improvements that will last you for years. I know you don't live in a house, so don't know how feasible this might be, but might be worth thinking about. If you had a mortgage I would suggest paying a chunk off that, but not sure that you have.
