hi all;just had what l think might be a bright idea-when we have spare vouchers we could leave them at the photo desks in a sealed envelope with a code name on it for when there's no time to post them!!!l'd say martin lewis? lol.ps good luck sugar & that was really nice of you taffy-l guess the civilians out there are just strange huh?

:T what about leaving them on top of the advantage card machines - i actually hadnt thought of that but i know nearly all of us on here do the regular trip to the amchine to check for bargains - how lovely it would be to find a usuaful voucher or two. Hmmm im gonna do this with my spares, i wonder if anyone else from croydon will and if they do and i see it will make me chuckle:D

I had an embarassing moment trying to use 50p off voucher last week. I made sure I selected all shapers products, assistant scanned them and then tried to put through voucher. It would not accept it. She checked it was in date. I said well I came in specifically to buy meal deal. I just assumed she would have power to just enter 50p discount manually. She asked girl on other till who didn't know and was just clocking off. She called supervisor over and then he had to go away to fetch till keys.

Meanwhile huge queue building up. They never have enough assistants on tills especially bearing in mind this was lunchtime. For the amount I should have just said never mind but for some stubborn reason I persisted on principle that they sent me the voucher. As I left I discovered that till had not added advantage points ( I had put card in machine at beginning of transaction) so not sure if that was why voucher not accepted.

Scanning makes tills so easy these days. When I was 15/16 I was a Boots shelf filler and they needed extra staff on Saturdays. They put me on the busiest tills near the door, i think it was Xmas time also. The tills those days were all manual typing in the prices and working out the change. I bet that till never balanced. Although good at Maths it was so busy I'm bound to have made some mistakes.

I had this problem too i also caused a long queue but i wanted to use the voucher!

I went to the machine in Trafford Centre earlier today and was gutted as there were no total spend vouchers on my offers. I printed a photo voucher off and noticed there as already a voucher in the machine. I looked and it was 300 points for a £25.00 spend belonging to someone else. I really hope it was some nice MSE friend who left it there for someone else to us as I decided to use it. I felt so bad once I had used it as my DH said it could have belonged to some old lady who needed the points!!!!! How bad do I feel?

what you missed the quid off spending over 4 for health lol? Well done well done. Paying you to take it away. Anyone got any more mail blanket and ACM coupons I think the ole lady down stairs who uses her electric blanket every day to take away back pain could do with a new one. Good idea that leaving some extra ACM vouchers that you dont need in the machines why not? When I first started reading these threads and my card hadn't come it was so frustrating because the old cardboard temp card wouldnt work in the machines. Imagine if I could have gone up and some lovely peeps had left coupons in there. Taffy

Sorry to ask boring questions, but does anyone know if the Gillette Fusion sets (3 for 2 & half price = £9.97) is still working, or available.
Would love to get this, but don't want to embarrass myself at the till, any more than I already do.....with my 82 coupons/vouchers/acm printouts etc...!
Thanks in Advance!
