Tonight I bought

4 toothpaste @ £2.28
4 Nivea Wipes @£3.12
3 ALways Utra @ £1.43
4 Sunsilk @ £2.99
2 Handwash @ £1.37

Till thinks £40.59
To pay £22.25

After coupons £9.15 and 1000 points plus another 100 for the always ultra.

It was hard work though and I think I will stick to smaller shops.

Happy days :T

IMHO, youre much better off doing it this way...only one visit to the store, not obvious from what uve bought, what u r doing...and a lot less effort...plan your shops at £40 and go for it...I did 12 of these in one day...but ALL included either DtD/refund, on either Colgate or Johnsons(or both).....took me about 7 hours mind(about 170 miles), and i was goosed afterwards...but got over 12k in points.....(£480+ in deals) and after refunds, mocs, bogofs etc i only paid about £90....and everything i bought (£240 worth) will hopefully be sold for £180+

I was happy tonight to get 3 Max Factor foundations, that I actually want and use, on Buy 2 Get 1 Free and use 3 x 250 pts coupons. The plan is to get 3 lipsticks tomorrow and shift my last 2 of these point coupons.

I'm only allowed 5 mocs per shop and no split shops, but I've been in twice today and saved £21.75 on a £49.20 post multibuy total, with mocs and earned 798 points, plus got loads of reduced goodies, so not a bad day over all.

Got a very long way to go to match Leadheads success though

Do they take printed Internet mocs...I would have a field day there if they did...although some of the shops I use take one of each, others wont take any, although its not just the stores, its again down to individual SA's or supervisor decisions...But its Tescos famous Policy

We have no Policy!!!!

I think you need one item per points coupon so just add 3 bars of cheap soap and you will be fine to use four points coupons

It is Tesco, but they take no notice of H.O. Policy as far as mocs go. It has been 5 mocs per shop for many years, but that is now official and rigedly adhered to.

When things were more "relaxed" I had much better shops.

I will probably have a battle on my hands later to use 5 mocs for items not bought, plus 1 for items bought, as most sa's think they can only use 5 mocs regardless. If the right supervisor is not around, then 5 will be all I can use. And one of them is a right dragon.. :eek:

Hi Leadhead,

Yes, they take Internet mocs, although they were totally banned for about a week recently :rolleyes: and some sa's can still be a bit sniffy over them. I'm making the most of the Red, Eve and Instyle mocs right now,with a couple of non Internet mocs added to the mix to be on the safe side. With Red expiring tomorrow and Eve not long after, my savings will drop soon though and I'm not aware of any other high value mocs that I can print

Its the only store thats viable for me to use, so I daren't push things too much, cos I can't afford to be banned from there - Sainsburys is too expensive and Somerfield is pants, lol. I used to do split shops but was given a "friendly warning" not to do that any more, some time ago. Every now and again when I am desperate to use up high value mocs, or have more expensive items that I really want to get, I'll go there twice in 1 day, but alot of the sa's recognise me.. and fairly sure CS and Security do too. :eek:

As you rightly say, Tesco policy is no policy at all...

Thats a shame you get this trouble. Can you not shop at another tescos? I presume youve probably already tried that right enough. I thought all tescos would have to adhere to it if its tesco ho policy. Have you tried contacting head office to tell them about the trouble you are having.
