    Does the Tesco Meal Deal only work against Morries? Is there a good comparison against A or S?
    (looks like us NI folk are ruled out! :()

    At the moment yes, only Morries. According to T website the offer is on until 25/01 though so watch this space ;)

    This won't work with a conditional spend in store. They only work once total spend is hit after all discounts including BG have been taken off.

    Has anyone tried scanning the conditional spend before hitting total ?

    For flips sake, my mobile obviously has an issue. Phoned Dr's again, Dr apparently tried to call at 10.38. No call here, no missed call either. She is on half day so finished.

    So I've been sat round in my pj's all morning for nothing. Grrrrrr. :(

    At least I can go and have a shower now, although think I might dye my hair first as its in dire need.

    They have changed the call to tomorrow when Dr back in, lets hope I have no telephone trouble then! :)

    Iv just found an £8 off £40 spend tesco valid till the 10 th. Can anyone advise me on how this will work on meal deal x4 please. Minds gone awol thanks

    Your total needs to be £40 or more after BG,
    my shop today I had 3 m.deals + fillers after bg the total was only 6.81, I think 5 is the max deals you can buy otherwise your bg goes over the £20 threshold

    so roughly 5 x deals then £30 other shop either own brand or items that do not compare then you should be ok.

    I hope ive worked that right?

    Not in my experience :( your total would have to be over £40 after BM is taken off
    (4 meal deals will give you a net of £6ish so you would need to spend another £34ish to get the £8 off)

    yes my thinking also
