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.

I picked up a fellowes A4 laminater and trimmer for 7.31 today in Tallaght. It was yellow tagged and there both quite excellent. Much better then the shredder from Tesco that's priced at 11.24 at the moment.

Really? What's the legal impediment?

Its banned under EU law, an adoption of a World Health Organisation decision in the 1980s. Can't advertise (which is why all the ads claim to be advertising the "when you've decided to move on..." products) and can't promote sale in any way - so vouchers, discounts, 2 for 1 etc are are all illegal.

Similarly lottery tickets can't be incentivised under the Act that started the Lotto, cigarettes under some health promotion act amendment in the 1980s.

According to their Fresh Value magazine, the 25% off wine offer was only valid from Thurs-Sun (20-23), so unless they have extended it, it's no long valid.

Does anyone know if you were to get 6 of the dine in meals, where you get a main, 2 sides, dessert and bottle of wine, would you get 25% off the wine as well? I know that this used to work with M&S with their dine in for two meal deals and when they would have an offer of 25% off of 6 bottles of wine.

Interesting question. I think the wine in the deal usually works out at €4/bottle, so if the 25% came off the wine only on the deal price, it would be only an extra €1 off each meal deal, but if it worked on the full price of the wine, then it would be nice.

Only thing is that you would then have six meals to be consumed in a short time. Not sure I'd want to freeze them.

A bit off topic, but is anyone else on here signed up with Tesco Shopperthoughts.ie? I signed up a few months ago. I think today might have been the first time that I was given a link to a survey. I see I've now earned 175 points. How do these points appear on the clubcard details?

Yes. They only appear on the statement with the mailing, and not online on the Clubcard portal as far as I can tell. I signed up a while ago and got a fair few surveys so 350 came through on last week's mailing and I had another 100 pending and did 75 today. You likely got the same 75 and a 100 signup bonus.

They aren't frequent but they're relatively decent reward rates compared to other surveys and get added to something you're likely already using so its not too bad.

maringo · 24-11-2014 10:19pm

See Tesco UK are advertising litre bottles of spirits on offer at 15 sterling. Waiting for the price to drop here.

Thanks. I see 75 points awarded today and 100 points on 19th September, which must have been the signup bonus. One survey in two months is kind of poor.

Another thing I noticed is that you can earn clubcard points on LivingSocial purchases if you link your clubcard to your LivingSocial account.

£28.22 per litre so £12.70 when VAT is added for a litre of standard vodka/gin etc and £13.54 for whiskey.

Our equivalent is €19.59 and €20.89 respectively so the likely price point on the same margins (really as loss leader) would be €22/23

I received an email for €15 off an online shop, I also have a €10 off a €50 spend in aldi. Can I use the aldi voucher online and can I combine the 2 does anyone know?

I'd say not really but you could chance it anyway. I think they take the spend and save vouchers if you give to the driver, can't enter it online.

How much do you need to spend to get the €15 off? If you order enough so that taking off the €15 still leaves a balance of €50+ it might work?

€15 off a €60 spend, think ill have a look at the website and see what I can do.

Yes you can, As long as you spend over the 50 on you final checkout price.

We (drivers) have been told to accept the vouchers as long as they are genuine(not copy's), come from our main competitors and you do the minimum spend on them. It would also be wise to chase it up with a call to CS.

Do you mean that after the e-coupon has been subtracted, the balance must still be over €50 (or whatever the amount on the spend and save voucher)?

Or is it simply that your shopping must have come to over €50 before the e-coupon was subtracted?

Thanks for clarifying this!

dotcomedy · 26-11-2014 8:46am

As far as I was told , it was the final checkout amount. Its the same when we hand out petrol vouchers for 5c and 10c.

Buy €50 worth of goods in Tesco and use a €10 Aldi (or other) spend & save voucher (if you have one) to knock that down to €40. Then use the €6 Tesco voucher to knock that down to €34!

irishproduce · 26-11-2014 6:56pm

Are you allowed do that?

So the offer for Ireland appears to be buy 3 1L bottles, get 25% off with the example given is a litre of Smirnoff for €21 after offer. I suspect this is the loss leader of the lot and the others will be marginally more expensive.

Any less than €20 and they're not only making a loss on the product cost, they're paying the state on your behalf!

Bought 6 bottles of wine today, total €68, minus 25% came to 51, took off €10 aldi voucher, plus €8 tesco till splt plus 2.58 price promise receipt, came to 30.42.

Happy days, always forget to use the price promise receipts.....

They are discount offers that print off at the bottom of your till receipt

lazeedaisy · 26-11-2014 9:26pm

Usually, a price promise.... If you shopped in aldi Lidl you would have saved 20c, 49c etc.

Then a petrol one, 5c or 10c off.....

Since I am a tesco mobile PAYG I get points, and the last few have been 8 euro off 50 spend,

They spit out after the receipt, I keep getting €1 off €10 fruit veg spend, someone trying to tell me something, lol

brophs · 26-11-2014 9:42pm

The petrol vouchers in some places are a bit of a joke, For example, a couple of weeks back the petrol station in Cork was around 5c-6c more expensive than all of the stations in the area, presumably due to the fact they were accepting the coupons.

angel_wings · 26-11-2014 10:08pm

I got a €6 off when you spend €40 on toys!!! Just wondering does it HAVE to be on toys or like the aldi/dunnes/svalu vouchers can it be used against anything as long as its a €40 spend??

Officially yes, but your best bet would be to try a self service checkout and act confused if it doesn't work and they ask you why you tried it.

It's actually up. The discretion of the cashier and manager. Some of the cashiers n my local want take them, while there's do.

The signs say competitor vouchers, they don't say they can use them with local vouchers,

I pointed out the is no where in writing that they say cannt be used in conjunction with other coupons, but it is the discretion locally.
