Seem to remember my Mum using vouchers for stuff she wasn't buying (IYSWIM)

mothsinmywallet_2

and was wondering if you can still do that? Eg Money off coupons for branded products used to knock a few quid off your bill in Tesco even though you are not buying that product. Apologies if this is in the wrong place/has been asked before but couldn't find an answer anywhere!

Thanks

Hi mothsinmywallet. :hello:

Try looking HERE.

It depends, I just offer the vouchers and see what they will accept. Act all flustered, hand over the vouchers, and say "I don't know if I bought any of this stuff", they'll swipe the vouchers through the till and most of them will probably get deducted. It's easier to do if you use the self scan counters.

Thanks. I had a look there earlier but it all seemed to be specific vouchers/codes. I'll try digging deeper. The whole thing is starting to do my head in - should probably ring up Tesco and ask!

PS Mmmm Haribo. So addictive and so bad....

Thanks also tryingverytrying
I'll do it on a day that I'm feeling a bit ballsy! I'm certainly good at acting flustered!

Hi mothsinmywallet,

These older threads from the Discount Vouchers board might help:

Cash off vouchers

Money off coupons..

Supermarket Discount Vouchers

I'll move your thread across to that board to see if you can get some more replies.

Also try using the younger kids on the till....they normally put anything through!

Look on the newspaper thread which is on here every day and the magazine thread too,for news of money off vouchers.

I use the vouchers on the back of the somerfield and asda coupens in Tesco.
I think they still work past the use by dates as well.

This is probably very stupid,but what do you do with the coupons once they have been swiped as today the self scanner kept saying we cannot accept the coupon at present and in the end l gave up! Do you have to press pay,and then the coupon gets taken off and put the coupon in a slot or something? Thanks,
