I can't see how it could be through the greed of a few. It says 1 bag per person. We have 5 people in our family who went in a 4 or 5 times. It isn't as if people were walking out with a couple of dozen of bags at a time.

If you don't see anything wrong with taking 20-25 bags (that would mean say 20 other people missing out) then it's no good anyone trying to persuade you otherwise.

You could really use this anology for anything that is Free or Cheap. Don't buy too many because others after you won't have a chance. Don't queue up and buy 2 DS lites and flog the other on ebay - because somebody else could have bought it.

That's why the retailer puts a 1 Per Customer limit on it. To leave some for someone else. To make sure other genuine customers are not disappointed. To have goodwill from both the freebie and stocks still being available.

You had 5 or 4 each when Woolworths asked you to take 1.

I actually got the email but I couldn't get any eggs for my DD because they had all gone within an hour, not exactly fair is it?

Sadly the greed is getting out of control, there are people getting free baby gifts making up fake babies to get free toys/nappies they have no use for.

Hang on a minute.

Where does this all end?? Are you saying when I walk into Tesco's and see a stack of 12 money off coupons I should take one so that everybody is happy. This isn't greed. This is looking ahead. Are you saying that people should be strict and only have one Tesco Clubcard Account - so that it is fair on everyone. I have 5 mouths to feed. I am trying to make the money stretch as far as I can so we can all enjoy a holiday abroad in the Summer. I don't consider myself greedy. And yes if I saw 20 DS lites going for sale at £100 each and I could get £150 each for them (like they were going for sale at Christmas), yes I would buy them and sell them on Ebay. RANT OVER

I'm really sorry you missed out. I too have missed out on many agood freebie too. I saw tickets for Lancs v Yorkshire for cricket a couple of weeks ago. I lie so near to the ground but couldn't get one. No doubt many MSE'rs got one and can't even go but this is totally different to my situation. I would not get a freebie unless I could genuinly make use of it.

That oversteps the mark in my own opinion. I would never do that.

njc123 if you're able to save the image separately, what i do (cos i'm mean) is copy and paste vouchers and resize them in word, that way you can put a few on one page. i've never had any shop assistants complain about them.
(might do now they're learned my secret though!)
