Tesco voucher and alcohol

If you want to use say a spend £40 and get £6 off your shopping voucher. The offer always excludes alcohol, cigarettes etc.
If you was to buy a case of beer as part of your weekly shop, would you not be able to use your voucher.
If so, would you have to have a shop entirely of groceries to use said voucher.

    Usually it only excludes spirits, etc. Beer should be fine.
  • If your shop (excluding alcohol) comes to £40 or more, you will be fine.

    If your shop (excluding alcohol) comes to £39.99 or less and you then try to add a few beers to get it over £40, no this will not work.

    You know this from experience?
    Tesco vouchers exclude many things such as gift card etc, but they do scan as long as the threshold is met.

    I have been sent some of these and noticed about the no go for alcohol in the small print.

    I have been trying to put together some items to reap the benefit of the discount, but my goodness it is difficult when alcohol is taken out of the equation:)

    It may not be a general ban, but sometimes there can be exclusions e.g. Everyday Value alcohol items.

    I currently work for Tesco and the other week staff received 20% discount (assuming they've been at Tesco for six months or longer with a Privilegecard).

    The terms said any alcoholic items that would've fallen under the minimum pricing guidelines would therefore be excluded and I'd imagine that *might* be the case for any £X off a £XX spend coupon.

    I've never had a problem using them - even used some the other week when they were doing 25% of 6 bottles made it even cheaper
