Tesco vouchers

[It's a small world]

Can I just ask do you get lots of vouchers or how do you get so many as looking at site you need lots of vouchers to get items. I've registered and pack in post. Collected a few vouchers but worried I might not collect enough to buy something

[avril]

Ask your family, parents of mindees, neighbours, I know my Mum even asked the lady in front of her at the till who didn't want them!!

First year I've done tesco but did Sainsburys last year and collected just on 1,000.

The things I learn on this site, I didn't know we could use them! I've been giving them all away to the school. I will definately be saving them from now on! Thanks for the info

I think you can bank them till next year.

I have a few vouchers as I meet my Mum for coffee in Kettering once a week but I don't do a proper shop there. I know the Tesco Express is nearby but I am rarely in there since Asda is so close to school. I think mine will be banked or given to DS/DDs school.

I managed 3000 last year with 5 minding families and my family/friends. THis year I have another family and mum is a teacher - a parent of children she has taught in the past works in a tesco garage she uses & gives her loads! She figures the school already gets more than they need so gives them to me so I'm aiming for 4000 this year! You can get something for just a few hundred so its worth registering!

How do you register for the sainsburys and tesco vouchers?
Tried to do the sainsburys one but it doesnt say anything about childminders.

I was just trying to register, I think you have to phone them to do it.

tesco you can bank them but you can also send some ink cartridges off for 10 vouchers as well i ask all parents to fetch me theirs that way i can check and i send them all off becasue they recycle them all but only certian ones you get vouchers for.

It also says you can send old mobiles off too but cant find that.

When i go in tescos i tell the cashier i collect them myself as a childminder and every little counts so i ask if anyone refused them can i have them, i go to same people if possible everytime so they know my face i tend to get more

also one of my mindees granma works on checkout at tescos so far i have got 2000......

I ask people in Sainsburys/Tesco infront of me for the vouchers if they are not collecting them. I also tell the cashier "I am collecting them for myself as I am a childminder". I also either go to the old granny cashiers who look like softies or to the young cashiers who dont care about company policy about not giving too many away!! I went to a Tesco til with a young lad on the other week, spent £20 and asked if he had any extras and he gave me 47!!

I have a friend that works in Tesco () whose BIL works in Sainsburys ( ), so I do ok from her alone!

I also ask mindees parents who have been great at giving me them, plus family and friends give me them too.

I often change my status on FB to let people know I am collecting them too.

I didnt have enough Tesco ones last year to get anything worthwhile, so banked those to carry over to this year.

Even if you don't collect many vouchers it's worth banking them until next year.

I also ask all my friends to save me theirs and I keep an ear out when I'm shopping - if someone isn't collecting vouchers I ask if I can have them instead.

That just took me ages to register, the women couldn't get my post code right as she understood very little English!

Just been into tesco to buy some booze anyway whilst dh was queuing to do the lottery a lady came up to him and ds and asked if they were collecting vouchers . Said yes and she gave them 22 vouchers what a lovely lady

[tashaleee]

I always ask the parents of the kids I mind, my friends with older children, my family etc.... If I dont have enough then I bank them and use them next year

[Desi-101]

I never knew we could use them at all! as my daughter (16)never hands them in at school I always say no at the counter and my mums friend gave me loads last year from her friends which never got handed in, thanks for this post

i did tescos last year - joined late but got 545 - got some bean bags and hula hoops

hoping to get lower case keyboard and child friendly mouse this year.

as for sainsbury's - they wouldnt let me join!!!!!!!! tried 3 times!!!!! and backed meself up saying i knew childminders who had (ie, on here!) but that flatly refused to let me join... so i now boycott them and so does everyone i told

I thought I was doing well getting given 6 in there yesterday! I spent £6 but wasn't given one. The lady said the screen didn't prompt her but my receipt said I was due one. She gave me 6. I've got about 30, don't think I'll be getting much.

i have just counted mine(wellits me and 2 other minders we find if we pool them we get more as you can buy things in multiples and split so would this to those who live near each other) and we have 2067 so fr so thats good.

we do have a tesco in our town and i am freindly with most cashiers and one of my mindees granma works there also..
