We do most of the shopping at Sainsburys, but I won't have a bad word said about Aldi! I'm signed up to the newsletter and you get real good deals on some tools etc. Don't get me wrong some of it is complete shite, but there are bargains to be had. Get a few bits of food when I'm in there too and it's always good, and cheap.

PS. there's no fucking S on the end of Tesco!!!

OK.....Here is the answer to why people pay over the top.

and trust me, I am like the Motorsport Developments or the Reyland in this area!!!

The vouchers are often worth more if you use them against other offers (the supermarkets in this case) have.

For example, the money off vouchers you get from Tesco are worth between 2 and 4 times their cash "in store" value against Clubcard deals. ie a £20 voucher is often worth £80 against a holiday or day out. I cant comment in detail on the particular ones on that ebay auction but I guess thats the reason they fetch a little more.

Thats why people pay over the top for them at their face cash value.

There are lots of grey areas though as most schemes dont allow you to transfer or sell but people still seem to get away with it.

I hope that little bit of info is useful.

Every little helps

He says he is posting them first class.

so winning bidder will no doubt receive them then file a paypal claim sayin they havent arrived, he wont be able to provide a tracking number so will have to refund.

so the buyer is the clever one, lol
