Neither my local asda and my local Tesco will take any vouchers if you've not bought the item and the asda refuses point balnk to take any internet coupons or home printed ones at all, even if you've actually bought the item :mad:

Report the Asda to the website where you printed the coupons. This should prompt a letter being sent from the manufacturer to the store to explain to those numpties what an internet coupon is.

I think I read somewhere that Asda HQ has taken on board the fact that people should be able to use internet printed coupons as it is the way forward for the industry....something like that. So whereas their stores used to turn them down they shouldn't be doing so any more.

But do report the store to the coupon website, use a new hotmail addy and made up name if you don't want to reveal your details for any reason. If more people did this then stores with outdated policies may see the error of their ways, hopefully they would listen to manufacturers more than they would their customers.

My feelings on this are a bit mixed. When I worked in a foodhall in Littlewoods and we had promotional coupons left over, the manager told us to scan them through with one item, then our store would claim the money from h/o. the supervisor would then delete the cost of the item from the till to balance it out, looks like we were taking the money, so it was then claimed back. I have often thought that the lower down the food chain (so to speak) the less you were allowed to get away with. I have no qualms about using coupons, as many as they will take

I didn't say I was against coupons, the 10% or so limit some stores enforce seems reasonable and I would use them myself on that scale.
What I don't like is this excessive use to around 75% of your shopping. Don't kid yourselves, if you are taking your baskets of shopping home regularly for a quarter of the shelf price, then somebody - either the store, the manufacturer, or more likely other shoppers - is subsidising you, which is only OK if you have no conscience.
I don't expect any support from anyone on this board for this view!!

As for Stebiz, there is really nothing you can say to someone who says he likes to spend on his wife and family and doesn't see why he should pay the bank back. And that he's been screwed in his life so that justifies him screwing other people.
Except that if you go through life with attitudes like that, one day you may regret always putting number one ahead of what you know is morally right (you were the one who said morals aren't top priority for you).

Like I said I am not going to defend myself. However just one point, I would never 'screw' your average man/woman on the street or a small business. So I guess I must have some morals. As for large banks making billions in profit, I don't feel quite as bad for them having to share it out a little.

I've actually been told I'm quite generous. So call me Robin Hood if you like!!!
