Yes I am finding supermarkets stressful, nothing is obviously where it should be. I can cope with Aldi just about but the 2 stores I visit are radically different. Waitrose is the worse, ours is just a little Waitrose but it leaves me a jibbering wreck

I just can't imagine you as a jibbering wreck!

I would say the decision lies with the retailer whether or not to accept them.

Up n Go can refuse to refund them which in turn might lead the retailer to re-assess their policy on accepted MOCs

(and I say this as someone who hasn't printed any because I got plenty of originals)

Lucky you . Doesn t half use up the pink ink. Wish I knew how to print in b and w

ref the chip atm vouchers.
1. are they all dated the same? mine are dated 25th november
2. do they need authorisation on self serve? as when i got mine. i scanned them and all. i got on the screen was ££ for each one. so i asked sa to put a value in. then when i went to pay, the coupons were on the left of the screen and i pressed ok and it took another £7.50 off :eek:
huge shame it went into a £7 negative balance and froze

just to add, there are 2 ways they suggest to cook them, ive done both. they are far better to take out of the tray supplied and cook on baking tray. (as indeed they recommend)

Chance would be a fine thing as usual.

Exactly, this is why I personally have only felt comfortable using ones cut out from the papers as I feel it's a good enough deal as it stands. The fact that they kept the offer going is a brilliant bonus, like the cidre was.

Free is fine, and £1 off when they only cost £1 on offer is just as good.

And while overage is very nice for the brave, I don't think it can ever be worth any form of awkwardness at the tills.

Well if I could have got my hands on loads of free metros I would have done but going to Liverpool just for those isn t an option. Either they take them or they don't. Luckily my Tesco decided they would take them. I haven t bothered using any anywhere else.

£10 cashback from Quidco for a £25 spend with various retailers inc Boots. Don't forget that VAT is not included in the spend. x

I am wondering now if Quidco will do a £10 off a £25 spend in Superdrug later in the week, just holding off making an order now just incase ...

You would have thought that spending £32 on full VAT items in Boots would be very easy ...

Thanks to Emeralds advice I went with her elegant taste and refinement and got the free O2 WHSmith cards with the baubles and silver stars inside , only 5 in a box but I'd rather have a few very nice ones than a box of 30 normal ones that I would just donate
(could not see these on the website last night)
Ours is the tiniest WHSmiths stationary shop but masses to choose from to suit everyone

Then we went for Nero free drink. OHs Samsung android phone so he had a Q code rather than a set of numbers I still have on my iphone - is this the same for everyone?

Elegant taste and refinement yes that s me yes nowadays I'd rather a few good quality ones than loads of usual ones. My iPhone had the q code on it.

Managed to get a few Shake n bake (£3) last week and a few Chicken this week which are tiny for £1.50 each. Individual stores are listed for the chicken and were listed for the sausages last week, but not this week.

When i click on it show me where available i get a map with loads of green markers on but as they are all ontop of each other its hard to see:rotfl:
