    Default I didn't know we could use Tesco vouchers!!!

    Omg have just seen on another thread that we can collect Tesco vouchers - I have just sent ds into school with an HUGE envelope full that everyone has been collecting for us!

    Is it worth me starting to collect them this year? When does it finish? Oh I just cannot believe it ... never mind at least the school will benefit (I'll keep repeating that... )

    I think it's too late for this year- i'm sure I read somewhere that they have stopped giving them out to shoppers now. You can register for next year though which is what i'm intending to do when I get 5 minutes peace to pick up the phone!
    We can do sainsburys too but I can't find anything online to say so- need to phone them too!

    I think I'll register as well as I gave our school a massive pile of vouchers as well.

    You do need a lot to get things. We have managed to get just over a 1,000 vouchers. Lots of the stuff you needs thousands but you can bank what you get and keep for next year.

    I'm registered with Tesco and Sainsbury's. This year I collected just over 1000 from Tesco and 500 from Sainsbury's. Only one parent brought some vouchers so most of them were mine. I always try to engage in conversation at the checkout and mention that I collect for my mindees and they wanted to get a few space hoppers. They always give me extra
