I wanna know about vouchers

:confused: So, can I use any money off vouchers in the supermarket, even if I am not buying that product. Have seen pensioners doing this but haven't dared cos will probably get refused knowing me!

    So what if you get refused? I've just started doing this and so far no problem (other than being able to find enough vouchers!).

    The golden rules are:

    Don't use vouchers for other stores (eg Somerfield vouchers in Tesco)
    Don't use out of date vouchers
    Only use vouchers for things that the store stocks

    There seems to be no hard and fast rule about how many are accepted, but whether its 10%, 20%, one of each, no more than 5 in total, as many as you have(!), it's still worth doing.

    Just ask the cashier if they accept vouchers for things you haven't bought. They'll all say "Yes".

    Good luck with it - you'll get your head around it after a few successful shops.
