I had the same faff with only 2 x 50 being accepted at the till initally Ended up as overridden by cashier

DS got a switch and two games using the points and refunded me some of it Both happy

I still have 1x 50 to use and think some clothes Will pop by later

I am off to look at Amex again I am thinking Morries for xmas beer as I dont think we will get many really good buys because of our different laws

I just looked at my receipt and they put two of my coupons through as cash to get around the problem

Please could someone who hasn't yet claimed the free O2 advent calendar look to see if it's sold out yet today? I didn't know whether to bother to let DD know.

I can't tell as both mine and Mr TS's just say voucher used.

To answer my own question yes it is still available I let her know and said to check and she just finished work and got one :j

what if you want to gift someone a roll of tape though? :think:

ETA: reminds me of the year I unwrapped a present and a pair of scissors fell out. Turns out my mother in law had wrapped them up and then spent hours trying to find them again :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl:
When I'm wrapping presents I seem to be spend about 30% of the time trying to work out where I put the sellotape down, 30% finding the end of the sellotape, and around 20% pushing the cat off the wrapping paper.


I can't believe people are managing to do their Christmas shopping already. I've got no idea what to get anyone!

I doubt if we'll see them anymore as it's been on a few of the money saving sites on FB.

Afternoon peeps.

Still worth looking, I left 28 behind me today and 20 last Thursday.

Probably worth checking in the mornings.

I didn't think I would find any Andrex 12 last week after the weekend, but struck lucky on the dolly that had been left out in the toilet/kitchen roll aisle. This was around 7.00 am in a Superstore

Well, managed to get to a S, got some boots and a mid weight jacket, still got some points so will be looking in another S tomorrow for one or two other bits.

Came back and cleaned the bird cage, crazy, I was outside in my T shirt and jeans :eek:

Just got some Bertie Bassets for a gift, £1.25 in Tesco, 400g box. The Jelly Babies and Wine Gums are same price on offer until 27th November.

Best price I have seen Berties since they were reduced after last Xmas. Next cheapest is Asda at £1.75.

They also had 250g boxes of Thorntons Moments half price at £2.00.

Quite a few good chockie offers in !!!!!! at the minute

Sorry to hear that - why do they make things so difficult and potentially spoil a great promo? Where does the 2 voucher/£100 limit appear from? One voucher/£50 per transaction you could possibly understand if the tills hadnt been programmed properly to accept the full £200 - but £100 is odd .

I won't be able to go until later, so we will no doubt be clearer by then.

I had not factored limited stock issues into my plans :eek:. No going back now with "a few" vouchers to spend .

I had no trouble this morning - store was very quiet, just a couple of people changing points and several choosing wines etc. I already had 2 x £50 vouchers so went and chose my wine (fully stocked shelves and pleanty of choice.) I decided to get an extra £50 voucher so got a total of 23 bottles which came to exactly £150. Got an extra voucher from CS and then went to till. Our store had overidden the tills so that 2 coupons of the same value would scan OK, any extra coupons would not scan but Supervisors were doing a manual transaction for those and then working some sort of internal fiddle to account for the extra vouchers. They were fine about it and I was out in well under 30 minutes.
