Every Little Helps!

I went into a Tesco's earlier. A few things I picked up included a pack of 2 pork pies priced at £1.47. The helpful assistant advised me a pack of 6 slightly smaller pork pies was available for £1!

On this basis. Any chance Tesco could be franchised to sell rail tickets? Who knows, they might tell you when ticket splitting saves you money

It would be ticket slicing not splitting, and you'd only be able to go to Melton Mowbray.

I had in my recent clubcard mailing a 50p off voucher, the item was normally £1 but reduced to 50p on a offer so got it for free, another item had a 50p off voucher and a manufacturers voucher for £1 off, item was 1.25 so Tesco owed me money for buying those items and to test there system I put those through as a seperate transaction. Total showed as -25p! And the till instructed her to give me the change. Felt a bit like a extreme couponing moment as found on sky lifestyle channels!

Never knew that it would work that way! The best I do is combining the Superdrug meal deals with the 2 for offers, so you get the sandwich (even better if it's a triple!), 2 drinks and 2 crisps for about 40p more depending on what offers you choose, which lasts a lot longer! Remembering when I used to work next to a Boots they did the same as well.

The best was when I got a voucher for a free coke zero, so I got something like:

Sandwich £2.50
Coke Zero £1.50
Coke £1.50
Crisps 75p
Crisps 75p
= £7 without any offers
Then it would be £5.25 with the meal deal...
£3.75 with the meal deal and the 2 for offers (crisps 2f£1 so 25p more, coke 2f£2 so 50p more)
then to top it off, £1.50 off with the voucher so it brought the total to £2.25! Not bad

A couple of months I received this voucher at Tesco. I made sure that when I came to use it I was doing a particularly large and expensive shop, for maximum impact.

I bet you rushed to use it!

too true!

Back on topic, or off as the case may be I had the recent pleasure of winning a £50 LIDL voucher on Facebook, the formentioned store being my favourite by miles as far as food shops go and whilst in using it cleared out a large of the reduced to clear fridge meaning I got around £85 worth of shopping for £68 and only parted with £18 of my own dosh.
