What toiletries?

i think there was a womens face cream in there.. then just toothpaste, deoderants, shower gel, mouth wash - every day stuff.

There was also a toy. Maybe that was the problem.

I printed off various sizes, in colour, of the 31/12 one but the self-scan terminal in New Ross didn't even beep - just failed to recognise I was waving a barcode at it. My phone app and Google Lens were able to read the printout.

Pity - I needed the Vodafone "€30 gets you €40" today (for my "student" deal, lol!), and I would have bought €100+ of the clear plastic boxes they had as I have a particular job for them and its nice to have boxes from the same supplier so that they stack well together. Now I guess I'll wait to see what ALDI have on offer in their "storage" specials next week. (30th)

I just scan my phone and throw an old piece of paper in the coupon slots and works everytime. I'm sure when they open it they'll be a bit confused as its a small rural Tesco and can't imagine many doing it. Got something today that cost 35 and I automatically look for something I need for a 10er it's a great deal and am really surprised they continually let it run. It's valid till Xmas eve so I'll just keep using it. Think there is another one for after that too!!

I wonder would they consider it stealing if you were caught?

I used two already - thanks!

tried to use another today. Bill came to 46 euros and it was saying "amount too low" on the automatic checkouts. I dont think I bought anything that wouldnt be included. A few toiletries, food, a toy. Would any of this stuff not be allowed? Or any idea why it was rejected?

This happened to me, but it was because there was an extra 5% discount on the wine so it brought me back under €45

The mouthwash is classed as a medicine, I had that problem earlier in the week. Just went back and grabbed something else then the voucher was accepted.

God I hope not. The voucher does not say only use once on it. Only thing it says is once per transaction. The paper in slot is just that the machines need it to acknowledge it's a coupon. What's your thoughts?

Anyone had any problems with a black and white printout? No colour printer here at the moment

you could do a 45 euro shop through the self-service and then head back in. I did that. Then again, Im fairly desperate

Printed out the PDF and scanned it at self service in Tesco. Worked a treat. I scanned through a couple of items first, then the alcohol which caused the alert to go off, then the rest of my stuff after the cashier had put the alcohol through.

I then put a random piece of paper from my pocket into the machine when it asked for the coupon.

Easy, and I'll certainly be using again before expiry.

Thanks for posting the PDF.

Dear sir/madam it appears you owe Tesco money

Given that they're generic vouchers with just two different barcodes used so far, when they tot up the contents of the tills, there'd be no way of figuring out who had used the 'real' vouchers and who had used the copies.

Not sure myself. I think it's probably just over the line of stealing as the vouchers do state no copies. Interesting to see if anyone gets pulled up on it.

There was a prosecution in the UK years and years ago. But it was building up club cards rather than savings

I think the issue, if there was one, would be with folk managing to use multiple spend & save vouchers where the cost of their shopping was under the cumulative threshold. But that shouldn't be possible at the self-service checkouts (without staff intervention) and if you manage it at a manned checkout, it would be the till operator who would be in the line of fire!

Or reusing the same voucher and putting random paper in as in the case of many on here?

I regularly see Tesco staff do that for folk so I don't see that as an issue. In my local store, they happily will scan the voucher from one's mobile screen. Seems to be up to the individual store managers.

Tesco have been issuing and accepting vouchers for a long time. They could have made it harder to game the system or closed the loopholes already (unique codes, only usable at tills, etc.), but they didn't. How much extra booze and filler items have people bought because of the vouchers? Tesco know what they're doing with this promo.

IMO Tesco don't give care as long as they do the turnover.
They want to be number One Supermarket in the country (currently 3rd) and if Dunnes are doing money off vouchers then Tesco have to do the same especially as it's the busiest time of the year.
Most people who have 10 off 45 vouchers will spend around 50/60 (obviously not including bargain alert posters!) so Tesco are only refunding 10 off a 50 or 60 spend.

Does anyone know if there is a voucher in any of today's papers?
