Yup, works everytime, he picks a fed up looking young girly(being only 24 himself), warns her that his sister has given him mounds of coupons to use, oh how dire etc, chats her up whilst popping the shopping through, that I have already worked out online to maximise offers etc and then produces the stack saying how daft his sister is blah blah and then they scan happily! Aslong as you have no more than one of any coupon they can not refuse at Tesco as it is their policy. I always mix a lot of normal coupons with the internet ones as it does not seem to cause problems that way for some reason. Generally that bored looking young guys on the till, that only work weekends are the best to go for as they could not give a damn what the policies even are! He loves doing it bless him! Last month I needed nothing and so he just used the coupons to get himself some computer bits and pieces, so he did not even spend on 'normal' type shopping and he had no problems!

Was going to use ROC voucher to get a pack of wipes so I could get a till spit, but no point considering the stock levels in Boots of TD products!

Well I have to say that is pretty pretty impressive, I would have thought putting that many through they would have called for there supervisor. It must have taken ages as you must have had a mountain of coupons, goodness knows where you get them all but well done. I have just started couponing about 2 months ago and I do an average shop of £25 and try to get this for £10.

Anyway back on topic

I just received my first order from .com today and I have to say I was really excited at opening it. Got the ea free gift its really quite nice and got some natural collection items for the extra points. Spent £38 and got £23 back in points thanks to all the tips on here so a BIG thanks again

It IS T's national policy, but is also down to store discretion. Some of my locals refuse to take any unless you have bought the product or just one per shop. Many stores are also starting to refuse internet coupons. If you have a store like yours, Broclo, you're very lucky.

Anyway...back to topic......Mum said she needed to go to Boots for a load of stuff....quickly said I'd do it for her so she gave me £40 and a list and said I could keep the ca £10 change.......guess who'll get the till spits too? Woohooo.

Although I'd personally email tesco and get them to outline their policy to you then print your email along with headers

Just to let you know as per a confirmation I got last week, one of any coupon without product is fine but that "internet printed are at the discretion of store manager" so that is the only refusal you should get.

Sorry to take the thread totally off topic ladies and gents!

bedshaped

Fish men's hair stuff, random items reduced to £1.25
Real shaving Co items - Reduced to between £1 and £1.50 both of these
on normal shelves but with reduced SELs.

Basics shave foam 6p each & basics toothpaste 8p each (on basics shelves near baby wipes).

Double packs of expert wipes scanning at £3.49. I'm sure I read they were scanning at 75p - but not in this store anyway so put them back and got 2 of the single packs on BOGOF and used half price PC club coupon which had to be added manually by store manager (who is a very nice lady!) -used 100 points acm vouchers on these as well.

I picked up 6 of the mini photo albums (75p and BOGOF) in 3 separate transactions and got 200 points on 75p spend x 3. (still a few left).

Used up 3 till spits on Time Delay £6.25 anti-redness serum and anti-blemish serums and got 3 x 100 points and paid £1.25 in cash for each one
(a few of each left on shelves if anyone is interested) nothing under £5 on Time Delay shelf in this store.

No clearance shelf in West Brom either - where have they all disappeared to??

Total spend for all transactions £11.xx and points received £10.xx - my best shop in a while.
