    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! :D



    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


    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.

    Well done, not caught up, what's the glitch on Dr Oetker please?!:D

    I dont believe there is one, just comparing okay against other shops, so getting money off shopping if using vouchers.

    yes! it can be hard to keep up. Especially if you have work and have other stuff going on. I find I have to skip a lot lately.
    I can usually get the gist of what Ive missed by skipping through :)
