They would have to be separate transactions. One voucher per transaction, but the cashier can easily divide a big shop into the required amounts if you ask beforehand

Is it only tescos that do this? ie accepting others vouchers

Must be local to certain stores. My local one is not. Got floor staff to check with a manager. Bought basics there, but went to Tesco for wine etc. With the 25% off, plus voucher for EUR6 for over EUR40 spend, 6 bottles of white worked out at EUR33. Supervalu are going to have to catch up quickly or they'll miss out on the big weekly shops.

Tesco are haemorraging customers so i think you'll see quite a number of decent offers and promotions from them in the runup to xmas to try and claw them back.

Sv and dunnes are offering slabs at around the same price, but cant compete with 25% of 6btls plus a coupon

As a franchise, its very possible that one specific Supervalu are taking them and not others.

Unlike the other big 4 which are 100% company owned, Supervalu own very few of their stores.

Well the official policy is one voucher per transaction. You may get lucky with the cashier not following it. :-)

You can use it on items that you get club card points on. You don't get club card points on petrol, infant formula or medicines

It should be noted that infant milk is for 0-6 months only. Which is why you never see them on discount ever (eu law) as well as not getting points.

The growing up ones are fine

The big issue is a seismic shift in people's shopping patterns.
People are moving away from doing a big weekly shop- and tending towards smaller more frequent purchases.
This has driven Tesco (in particular) demented- as they have invested billions in large out-of-town superstores- that are seeing footfall taper and taper- to the extent very few of them are profitable.
The couponing exercise- is a an attempt to try to encourage more and more customers in- however- it was supposed to be a time delineated exercise- only they've had to extend it, as customers are a lot more fickle than they used be.

The 25% off 6 bottles of wine offer- is probably one of the majorly good offers they have there at the moment- that you can't get elsewhere- however, it is below-cost-selling of alcohol- and will likely be outlawed sooner rather than later...........

ablelocks · 22-11-2014 10:50am

the big issue here is that there is too much irrelevant chatter - this thread is for bargain alerts, not the finer points of retail business theory and practice.

rosieirl · 22-11-2014 11:23am

Tesco.com are offering 25% off 4 bottles. I know it's a different company/larger market/blah blah (cheaper booze, lower tax), but it stings to see the same offer, both in Tesco, but with Tesco UK are getting, as usual, a better deal.

Ballinasloe, they had a label advertsing it so probably in other stores

LavaLamp · 22-11-2014 1:57pm

I'm sure there is an answer to this somewhere but.....

If I buy wine totalling €40 before discount, can I then use my €6 of €40 coupon as well as get the 25% off or will the 25% come off first meaning the coupon won't be valid?

Don't see why not. But I could be wrong

You can use both. the 25% is automatic, no voucher needed. Need the EUR6 for the rest. Did it last night, no problem.

LavaLamp · 22-11-2014 2:18pm

So I can get €40 of wine for €24?? Wooo, time to stock up for Christmas and then accidentally drink it all before hand LOL!!

This is not anywhere in writing.

I used 3 last week, together, the aldi 10 off 50, Supervalu 9 off 40 & a tesco till split giving me 8 off 50, one transaction not even an eye blink, 27 off 52 euro shop.

I asked the manager on the way out since there was no small print, she said they were all acceptable

The 25% comes off when you press finish/pay so your subtotal will be less than €40 and the coupon probably won't be accepted. I got 6 bottles last night but my total was €76 so €19 deducted first then I used my coupon for €6 off. And my clubcard points vouchers too so my total came to under €45 for 6 bottles of fairly nice red wine.

In addition got 6 bottles for 58.50, 25% off =43.8 then used 6 euro voucher and Dunne's 5 euro voucher and ended up paying 32.8 for 6 bottles of nz sauvignon blanc so am delighted. :-)

Soarer · 22-11-2014 8:10pm

To clarify with the wine, the 25% comes off first.

So whatever you buy, less 25%, needs to leave you with at least €40 to pay.
Then use your €6 Tesco voucher, then any other vouchers.
