  • Thanks welshdeedee. I'm another one, (and there seems quite a few!) who had not seen this. I think it was very kind of you to post. I don't qualify myself, but I know a mum who will and this will be a great help to her. Thanks for posting - Suzy

  • We receive these and have found that our local sainsburys doesn't know how to deal with them. We applied some time after our baby was born so we got a few weeks at once --- backdated, I presume --- about £30 worth in total. When my wife gave them to the cashier she didn't know anything about them. Nor did her supervisor, so in the end they just took £30 off the bill, without checking that we'd spent that much on fruit, veg, milk, and baby milk. So we got a weeks worth of shopping for about 23p!

    I expect as the scheme gets more common, shops will start checking that you've spent them on what you're allowed to spend them on.

    vouchers are ment to be used to provide a balanced diet of fruit and veg ,milk. not to pay for the weekly shop ie- beer, chicken nuggets, pizza.....(not saying thats your diet op)

    Those who qualified would have received them automatically.
    WRONG!
    If people received the old milk token then they will, otherwise they have to fill out a form and get it signed by a helath ptoffessional.

    check with their customer services, when I used to get them a couple of years ago I loaded a weeks worth of milk onto the converyor belt at the till to then be told tesco dont accept them because they cant claim back the full amount of the milk, it might have changed now but this was at a big superstore.
