So, I used my week 1 vouchers in Dunnes last Thursday (the first day - week 1 started on August 22nd) - spent the required €150 to get €22 off (c. 15%). Any previous week1, week 2 etc. vouchers have always rolled over on the same day so along I went today, loaded the trolley up with just over €150 of groceries but when I handed in week 2, I realised that week 2 doesn't actually start until Sunday so week 1 was 10 days long! I know it's partly my own fault - the week 2 voucher does say 'Sunday 1st to Sat 7th' but I just stuffed them in my purse when I got them and assumed that a week meant a week!
The checkout lady said a lot of people were caught out the same way - seems really mean to do this when a lot of people are on tight budgets and do the weekly shop on a Thursday or Friday. I'm spitting mad - have to fire off a complaint now...
I wonder are people purposely spending €150 in one shop every week just to get €22 off. It seems like a lot of money to spend on one grocery shop.
I checked by DS Vouchers and they are as follows.
Week 1 used on Sunday 25th (could not check dates)
Week 2 Sunday 1st Sept to Sat 7th Sept
Week 3 Sunday 8th Sept to Saturday 14th Sept
Week 4 Sunday 15th Sept to Saturday 21st Sept.
As an aside the T&C's state you cant use them for infant formula.
Thanks for highlighting this. I was caught out as well. However in fairness I did my shopping last Wed and used it and they accepted it even though it wasn't starting until the Thurs. So this week went on Thur and assumed i could use week 2 only to find out it isn't week 2! Luckily a friend had given me her week 1 voucher so I used that the sales assistant just scanned it through and there was no problem.
