Has anyone taken the liberty of using the vouchers to fund some ostrich steaks? They look tasty. Contemplating it.

Got them in the past, are they still 6.99 odd? Tasty if cooked properly.

They sure can. I think 99% of boardsies here used them to get some sort of alcohol

I want to buy a kindle paperwhite in Argos. It's €139.

So, if I get three €10 Aldi/Lidl vouchers am I right in saying I can buy three €50 Argos vouchers in Tesco and save myself €30?!

Not every sales assistant will let you buy gift vouchers; its a normal exception on Tescos own vouchers but not specified on the Aldi/Lidl ones as Aldi/Lidl don't sell third party gift vouchers so would be extraneous. Ditto smokes and lotto tickets which you can't use money off coupons on by law - neither sell them so don't mention it.

If you get away with it, go for it. If not, all you've wasted is a few minutes for a potential 30 quid gain. You'd really need to separate the transactions for a better chance though.

If you go to the checkout with only gift cards, I'd say you've next to zero chance of being able to use a spend and save voucher. But if you put one or two in with at least a similar value of regular shopping, you'd have much more likelihood of success.

BTW, gift cards can't be purchased at self-service checkouts.

I bought €50 of Argos vouchers + 2 large sausage rolls(€1) in Tesco for a total of €51 and used my lidl voucher to pay €41

The Argos vouchers are activated at the till (not self service) and take a few days for the credit to be applied. I chanced going to Argos straight after as I had a reservation but the card had a zero balance

slave1 · 12-12-2014 12:10PM

Bought two €10 Argos vouchers today in Tesco along with other stuff to get over the €50, no issue

MiskyBoyy · 12-12-2014 04:10PM

Like a gob****e. I bought €36 worth of stuff in Aldi this morning. Only hit me when I got home that I could have gotten a box of beer or €10 worth of free food steaks ANYTHING if I had of just spent €4 more. Had a spare voucher at home and all :'(

You have to spend €50 or more to get €10 off so you'd have to have put €14 towards your €36 spend?

anybody know if theirs going to be vouchers in this weekends papers ?

Her post is incorrect. He would have to play 40euro net using the voucher.

Yes the shopping has to come to €50 but then you only pay €40 for it so like I said paid €4 more and would have gotten €10 worth of freebies.

Unfortunately you have to spend €50 for the voucher to work. You cant walk up to the till and say "here, take this voucher and I'll give you the balance" if it comes to more than €40. Tills dont operate on a "net" basis and you accuse me of being pedantic :P If you can get the shopping for exactly €50 then the voucher price can be deducted and you are effectively out of pocket just €40.

But look its all swings and roundabouts with the bottom line being that the shopping bill must total a min. of €50 with that amount rung up at the till. But you know that anyhow.

Seriously. WTF.
In this case the customer wouldn't have to give the cashier any more than €40 .......AT ANY STAGE. The worth of the basket is €50 but the customer never has to part with that much.

MelanieC · 12-12-2014 05:23PM

Ah for feck sake!!! ;-) Pete is right. The OP spent €36 so had he spent another €4,bringing his actual spend to 40,he could then have helped himself to €10 worth of stuff for free. This would make the perceived spend €50 but due to the voucher,the actual spend is still €40.

The OP never needed to have any more than 40 on him. He spent 36 so yeah,just needed to spend another 4.

It's not that complicated tbh!

The important point surely is - try to rescue the tenner by using the voucher by close of business tomorrow Sunday!

Last week's Lidl mag in the Sunday World gave the second of four €10 vouchers for the "4 weeks leading up to Christmas" stating:

Watch out for next week's voucher in the Sunday World

Pretty certain the final Lidl voucher will be in the 21/12 edition

As far as I remember, Aldi vouchers are always valid until close of business the following Sunday so they should have the whole weekend to reverse this catastrophe!

And for anyone planning a big shop in Lidl on Sunday

I've spent my Lidl one this week but I think it was only valid until Saturday.

Told Mummy Connor White Whimper to try with the two vouchers again today and to ask the checkout lady to stop at €50 and start again. Got told No again and that it was too busy. To be fair the Crescent is usually bananas on Fridays and this close to Christmas it was probably like something out of a Black Friday sale......

Split it in two on the belt- and put 50 in both sections. Tesco will always say its too busy- so do the work yourself. For the sake of 30 seconds sorting your groceries on the belt- you save an extra tenner. Its not rocket science.

Sorry, you're right - the one I still have is valid until close Sunday 14th.

KOR101 · 12-12-2014 08:59PM

Lidl ones valid until Saturday. Aldi ones until Sunday.
