No toothpaste etc is toiletries.

Healthcare, is basically Vitamins, medicines, condoms, diet products, aspirin, etc....they are usually in a separate aisle in T.

Have a look on the actual coupon for other examples, or you can log on to the Tesco website, to see the range.

There are really three categories which the coupons cover

Healthcare, Beauty, and Toiletry...some single coupons cover both Beauty and Toiletry.....

The till will reject the coupon if it is used incorrectly(although there are MANY exceptions to this)

Thanks for that! I only have the healthcare ones left so I'll know not to use them with the Plax and Colgate.

QUOTE Only managed 28 Plax yesterday, used extra coupons on 14 to make up my shortfall on a clothes shop I combined with, & on the other 14 I used 14 Plax & 4 x £2.50's so £4.89 off shopping I think put extra groceries in so paid 70p for that one... All plax hidden under clothes.. not through guilt.. I have none... Just to avoid the rule of 6. QUOTE

Hi Kronen - can you tell me if there is a rule of 6? I wasn't aware of that at all.

I have managed a few plax shops so far this week but have only put through a maximum of 4 at a time. I was feeling brave doing this! When you say you managed 28 plax did you do this all in one shop? Or did you break it down into smaller shops but on the same belt? :rolleyes:

I would be interested to know just how many of the same product people try to get at any one time in just one shop. Or do people try and break their shops up on the belt and pay separately? I have been breaking up my shops in this way and saying 'the next lot are mine too but I'm paying separately 'cos they're for my mum'!

Do you think I need to do this or should I try and get a lot of products in just the one bigger shop?

I am finding it hard though to bulk out my shops with things I actually need. I haven't got to the stage yet where I dare only pay pence after bagging up loads of products! Any advise will be greatfully received! :j

Thanks, Narla x

Yes i`m sure there will be plenty of quirky "Greedy" comments said by a few after my post, however it was totally factual, the sa pointed out simply that it had been highlighted to them purely by peoples greed, had people not gone over the top then this store would not have cottoned on, as for other stores not noticing then those who can get away with it for now are very lucky. I just feel sorry for those Moneysavers that live anywhere those who drive 60 miles or more to all Tescos they can find and then take every coupon in sight, no i dont have any guilt about doing it against Tescos but i would not stop other Moneysavers from benefiting by behaving in a way that can only be classed as greed.
No H&B coupons to be found in my area still, i did ask nicely at the pharmacy for some Quit packs the other day and the nice lady put 10 packs in a bag for me, so i was more than happy with this, no need to shove a whole box in my trolley and happy to know that others after me have the opportunity to get some and benefit from them as well as there were plenty left for those Moneysavers that i know are in my area.:)

Quit packs have a note on the box indicating they were only supposed to be on display until end of august (ish), so you are lucky there.

"Each to their own"

Generally Leadhead i would absolutely agree with you, but MSE is about sharing, give and take, not just take take take...


"But i often wonder if there are people in my area, who would benefit from me leaving them(i do give coupons to a few in my area)."


I expect they have previously read about what you do on here and don`t even bother as they don`t stand a chance, what about those who can only get out once a week due to health problems etc, what chance do they have of benefiting with you around!

I am very lucky and very thankful for the few that i did get and very happy to leave lots to others, all of the stores in my local area have Quit packs still and the garages so i hope lots of people benefit from them whilst they are still displaying them. How far will you drive to get some Leadhead?!

All quantity rules are store specific, theres no HO rule about this.....we've even seen some stores insisting 1 was all you could buy, and they wouldnt accept that on a bogof it was impossible just to buy just one.....Ive had 14 Radox, 14 Plax out of lots of stores, this week and last.

kronen will obviously be able to tell you about her specific store, but in general its up to the individual store, and one rule doesnt apply to any others.

can i just stick up for leadhead here and say he is one of the most giving people out there!! I have benefitted from lh generosity in the past and i know a heck of a lot more have too - its those who grab boxes of the vouchers then go selling them on ebay and not to actually get the products (which is why these FREE coupons are out in the first place) that you should have a problem with. Not wanting to get involved in an argument just wanted to let you know that he isnt just 'take take take'

You need to find a store that has a Beauty Consultant, as they are the only stores with them, we have heard that they are sent to the BC herself rather than the actual store. All Extras should have these consultants....spoke to one yesterday who told me she does a display Wed to Sat....

Thank you so much for that info. I'm going to try again hopefully tomorrow if I can. I've never had any of them yet so I'm on a mission.

At last count i still had a box and a half and 40 loose, but that might not be enough to see me through to the end of October.

I got stopped for shoplifting a box a fortnight ago, although they capitulated when i told them it said FREE onthe box.

i agree NEgirl, he has contributed hugely to the thread and given a lot of great information, i just don`t agree with how he goes about taking all the coupons in sight, probably half of the poor people who say they can never find any in their area are also in Leadheads area so they are unlikely to ever find any! I don`t feel it is an argument either, it is just voicing an opinion, a healthy debate.:)
