    Decided to do a £25 C and C shop tomorrow to claim the £5.25 back from TCB. I'm not going to use any e vouchers.
    The Felix cat food should compare £4.85 to £3.50 and Robinsons 1 L squash £1.49 to £1 each when you buy 2. This is v T.

    It's all stuff I need so why not?:)

    Wouldn't the £25 spend count even if you did use the vouchers? Just interested before placing an order.

    Many thanks

    Basically I got everything at A's full shelf price:(:p(:rotfl:), but got the Choc Ices and the Ravioli almost free:rotfl::(:rotfl::rotfl::).

    (Choc Ices/Ravioli total cost £1.09. Voucher £1.08 back from the 8 different item shop.)


    Or... they give you a voucher for the next shop. So that that £1.08 - indeed £1.09:eek: - is given to them and remains with them at all times. And, only when the £1.08 is taken off the next bill, can it be said I was given the Choc Ices and Ravioli (for 1p) and, even then, the compensation is in the form of yet more goods, from them, and never actually hard cash. But I would shop in A anyway - have to after this:rotfl: - and therefore my next bill will be lowered/part-paid by a voucher as a result of this.

    You're as bad as me, now asking round after these things:rotfl::rotfl: - always makes me now wonder "a big what?":D:rotfl:.

    I used evouchers yesterday and it brought my total down to well below £25 even though it started at around £50. It tracked but only for £0. I can't see anything that indicates evouchers don't count as money so far as the conditional spend is concerned. I do intend lodging a claim if it doesn't change.

    That shop - I just managed to scrape up to 8 different items, with stuff that I needed/would have bought at some point not far away - and the potential loss, if not all of the items appeared, would have been little enough that I didn't even bother to try to get more than 8 different items.:) I managed to get some more wombles. I'll probably get more from the wombles than from this shop!
