I've been to Hartlepool Focus today, wanted 3 tins for bedroom. Had kept the T&C on the voucher just in case.

Sure enough, just my luck, the SA said, 'sorry, only 1 per household', and had a little sign with 'new' T&C on it. I showed the T&C on the voucher, but she was adamant that Focus could change them whenever they wanted, or even withdraw the offer if they so wanted.

I had my 12 year old daughter with me, so gave her a voucher & told the SA that she didn't live with me, so did get 2 tins!

She then told me that if I tried to use the 3rd voucher another time & they recognised me, that I would not be served:eek: ! Her attitude was shocking!

Have never shopped in Focus before.... although had been looking at some nice garden furniture whilst getting the paint.... will be off to B&Q instead!!

Yes her attitude was shocking,, especially in front of a 12 year old.


Lol,, great minds,, i sent my 12 year old daughter through CO first,, but the guy was fine and even offered to put the 2 tins through on one transaction!


Am going back for more with Oh this week :-)

Excellent find, going to get our paint later as we're re-doing baby's room so might as well save money where we can.

I seem to have missed ths offer by a couple of days as the April edition is now out.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy back issues, please.

Our local market has a stall selling back copies of magazines. Perhaps there's something similar in your area?

Looked everywhere for this mag and everyone seems to have sold out.Bloke over the road from me had 12 mags last week when the mag first came out on the 10 Feb I had 4 but want 2 more and can't find them at all. Any way the April edition will be out in a couple of days if it ain't already out.

Stocked up on the mags when they came out but bought a few from each shop so left some for other MSE'ers;) ! Have managed to get 9 tins so far from the same Focus (have been in on separate occasions and left it a few days in between visits). Didn't see any 'change in terms and conditions' at our branch so I think it depends on the store as to whether they are being awkward about the one per household thing. I've been served by the same assistant several times and she just puts the vouchers through no problem. I'm pretty sure she knows that I've had some previously too !
