Just learned (and tested out) the fact that you can use up to three Tesco fuel vouchers in the same transaction, thereby giving 15p off per litre!

It does work. My diesel just cost 122.9p per litre, which was a bit better than usual :D
 
But did you do the maths

4 tins of tuna £6 to achieve 5p off a litre of fuel and spend £10 on 30 tins of coke to get another 5p off.

So assuming you spend the £50 in store to achieve your first 5p off and also another £16 to get the full 15p. The deal is only valid on a max 100 litres of fuel thus saving you £15 but you've spent £16 to get the saving.

Sorry to burst your bubble
 
Also, there isn't a £100 limit... I put £101 into the Landy today and they applied all three vouchers to it... are you sure the limit isn't £150?

Plus, you could buy tuna from one checkout, then buy more tuna from another checkout, and just keep buying tuna.

Therefore you could potentially spend £18 on three vouchers. I saved £10.95 on £101 of diesel. You'd therefore need to buy £166 of diesel to make your money back. If the limit is less than that, you simply cannot profit (unless you would eat all the tuna anyway).

i likes tuna and i had ran out. it's a 99 pound limit on pay@pump but you can't use the vouchers there anyway. did the same deal with bogroll a couple of weeks ago, the offers are only worth it if you need the stuff that the offers on.
 
Oh yeah... in that case, 100 litres would cost £137.90 at my local Tesco prices.

You'd need to spend £166 on diesel to make a profit.

It is therefore impossible :D

(unless you'll eat the tuna anyway, of course!)
 
Anyway... the thing is, how many vouchers have we all thrown away in the past because they're expired? I've chucked loads of them!

Have you considered that he might actually eat the tuna and drink the coke? :doh:
 
bugger .... ive thrown loads of them vouchers in the past cos theyve expired.... mrs spends more than £50 there every week.... only downside is our local one hasnt got a petrol station.... its a 15 mile drive to get to one .... i only go anywhere near it on a sunday morning when the vouchers are on theres usually too big a queue to make 5p a litre worth the wait..... 15p on a disco tank full might just be worth it
 
morisons had a similar thing a whole back, i shop there anyway so was a no brainer for us we spent a bit more for 4 weeks to get the vouchers and spent less the next few till we caught up again with the tinned stuff we had bought extra to make the total up.
 
Asdas own smart price tuna chunks.... 45p. I think some of you have fell for a Tesco jerk off at £1.50p at tin. Let the missus do the shopping FFS lol

Course they have.

Just look at the middle isle offers in Tesco every week and see people stocking up on the like of Pringles buy 2 get one free. Usual price of Pringles £1, during the promotion £1.50.
I love their Coca cola one - usually £1 a bottle, during the promotion £1.78 buy 2 get 1 free. Costs them more.
 
ffs forget the bloody tuna just get the mrs to do the normal weekly shop to spend fifty quid, she probably spends more than that in a normal week..... send her in 3 times to spend just over 50 on frozen or tinned stuff that you would have bought anyway
 
Hmmm so how many vouchers do i need to get the price down to the 55p a litre i pay for my used veg oil??? LOL

Cheers Steve
