    I wouldn't do it myself but I can't judge others who do.

    I'm worried that somehow Shell will get the blame for this.

    There is something faintly desperate about wandering round a supermarket car park looking for discarded receipts.

    That's rather snobbish when times are hard for so many!

    I think you did well for a long while but you just have to accept that you weren't following the T&Cs and move on. I certainly bent the rules during the dTd days at Tesco with the amount of vouchers you could get in a month. although I did actually buy everything it said on the receipts. It was good while it lasted and that is how you look at it- a bonus.

    It is this kind of thing that has resulted in the relatively stringent current APG conditions. There is now a £100 and 10 coupon limit, per household per calendar month. Bona fide shoppers who happen to live in a shared house may now be losing out (unless they start using bogus addresses, of course - which is fraud and may mean that innocent residents of those properties are the ones losing out.)

    Exactly, you might expect a new user to do so but not someone with over 1500 posts - weird!

    Plus, why on earth would Asda want you to save money? They are a business and there to make money, what benefit to them is there for you saving money?

    Some people really don't have a clue!
