I received some vouchers from Tesco in the post, you can use 1 a week for the next 4 weeks. When you spend £30 or more in store you get £10 off. I also heard though if you take these to Asda then they will accept them.

Does anyone know what this means? If the tag is not deactivated, is there some sort of chemical released into the meat when opened to make it inedible. Not that it bothers me - I get my meat from the local butchers.

I've not seen 'owt like this before.

Having said that no one's ever listened to my other suggestion re prison crowding.

Got off to a bad start and things only got worse.:(

On entering the store a young lady asked If I wanted a £5 off voucher for the clothing Dept.I looked her up and down and then replied "What are you trying to say":rolleyes:
There was no answer just a blank expression so I proceeded to the shelf were I had seen the item earlier, The price had increased by £10.:eek:

I left and went down the Asda and bought the same gift using the Tesco voucher for £30 less.:D:D

So Tesco lost out in three ways - No sale - Unhappy customer and they paid for the printing and postage of the vouchers.

Ah well not to worry.

The Big Christmas Exchange deal offered to double the value of points and vouchers held on the Clubcards used by millions of customers.

Customers had until Sunday to claim the double-value vouchers offering big savings on products such as toys, clothes, champagne and the new Samsung Galaxy tablet computer.

I'm currently fighting a battle with Asda about some online shopping delivered on 27/12, I am not giving up and will not be shopping with them till it's resolved, it's a long story so I'll just say it should have turned up between 5pm -7pm, turned up at 9:30 pm and had shortdated items in with that day's date on, plus leaking bleach.......:eek: they now owe me a refund of nearly £20 which they say has been credited to my debit card NOT !!

Think something will have to give soon can't be very cost effective at the moment, i can see some thinning down of staff before much longer.

Just a shame we can't have a decent supermarket.

Same as last time spend £30 and get a tenner off for the next 4wks, looks like TESCO are a bit desperate for customers!!!:eek:

I will be spending mine at ASDA again!!! :D

Don't know why mines differant, they probably think i've plenty of money and don't need as much off (i wish). Suppose though if they get enough people asking about the money off vouchers for tesco, they might change their mind and start accepting them. So i suppose we all need to ask.

Originally Posted by Sara (Post 879566)

I'll ring as well, even though i know what the answer will be, but it might still be worth nagging. Will keep hold of them anyway in case i go to Tesco, might have a look at the clothes.

Not sure if they could cope with 2 customers at the same time just now, they would think there's a sudden rush of customers :rolleyes:

Lets hope when the place closes they do it before May then we can bring it up in local elections about being sold down the river for a white elephant building :rolleyes:
