supermarket shopping vouchers

[BastardTart]

One of the supermarkets near me sent some really good money off vouchers (£6 off a £30 shop).

So i went and did a big shop there today, and split my things on the conveyer belt into 3 sections all just over £30 so i could use 3 of my vouchers and save loads.

When the lady in the queue behind me realised my utterly genius plan she tutted and made a comment. The guy at the checkout reassured her it was fine to do, but i spent the rest of the time bagging up my stuff under her disapproving glare.

Surely lots of other people do this too? Or was the lady right and am i a massively unreasonable cheeky fucker?

Ignore

What was her comment?

I suppose she thought she was behind one person in the queue but in effect she was behind 3.

Usually the supermarkets are crafty and put dates on the vouchers so you can only use one a week, Sainsburys do it like that.

Waitrose don't

You were fine. She could have FTFOed to another till if she was that bothered.

If the shops don't like it, then like Sainsburys and Morrisons they put narrow date ranges on the vouchers.

You could have offered to put everything through together and she could have given you the cash?

I often queue behind care asistants who seem to do shoppig for 3 or 4 customers. I would assume its a frequent occurrence.

I would always have done that

She was probably just bring impatient and thinking she'd have to wait longer if you were doing 3 payments instead of one. I'd probably be thinking the same, as I hate supermarket shopping a and am generally keen to get out of there. I'd never tut or pass comment though, that would be rude. You're perfectly allowed to shop like that if the staff member on the checkout says it's ok, so just ignore!

Dingit, yep it was waitrose

She was just annoyed it was going to take longer for her to get through the till.

If it was Waitrose I am surprised they didn't open a till for the lady behind you. They are good like that.

You should watch the US coupon programme on Quest Red, the people on it are bonkers, diving into dumpsters searching for coupons, one woman spent 25 hours a week sorting and arranging her coupons, their houses are stuffed to the gills with stuff. At the supermarket they use like 6 trolleys, piling huge amounts of every item, one woman 's bill came to over $900 and after coupons, the supermarket paid her $109 So I wouldn't worry about your 3 coupons
