    1) Get a £15 T&M code for £5 in Tesco Clubcard Points http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/product.aspx?R=2280 N.B. If you haven't received the paper vouchers from the latest mailing, go online and they should be there ready to use.

    2) Put 3 x 36 plugs of http://www.thompson-morgan.com/flow...plants/busy-lizzie-divine-tms-choice/t47481TM in your basket (You will get three £5 T&M vouchers sent with your order).

    3) Add a 69p packet of seeds to get order over the £15 voucher value (this may or may not be necessary, but I played safe).

    4) Go to Basket. Free postage at T&M this weekend using code TWBP15YZ in the Order Code box.

    4) Enter the code Tesco emailed you (takes about 30 mins to arrive after ordering) by selecting the Voucher Code button, then entering it in the Gift Voucher Code box.

    5) Place Order


    For £5 in Clubcard points you will get 108 New Guinea Impatiens, P&P free, plus get three £5 T&M vouchers, which can't be used in conjunction with free P&P, half price seeds, etc. promotions, but are still worth £3.05 in seeds each (£5 - £1.95 P&P).


    P.S. I've had those Bizzy Lizzies sitting in my basket for ages, just waiting for a free P&P weekend.

      These ones (with a £5 voucher)? http://www.thompson-morgan.com/flow...ants/begonia-raspberry-cream-yantana/t47391TM

      There might be some other good deals to be had with more stuff at reduced prices, with £5 vouchers and free P&P.

      The amount of P&P savings:

        Update - plants received today, but those in the corners/edges had dried out and were in various stages of death from half dead to completely dead. Phoned T&M and they immediately knew why I was contacting them (others having the same experience), and informed me they would replace the entire order (I did mention the un-dead plants would have been stressed out, but gathered they're doing the full replace automatically for anybody who contacts them) and will also be sending a gift voucher as compensation - I didn't ask how much, but whatever it is shows they understand that this will have caused the expense of phoning an the aggravation/inconvenience caused. They were checking when stuff had been dispatched/delivered as they were concerned the time taken by the courier may have caused this problem as some orders (not mine) have taken a long time to be delivered.

        So well done T&M for sorting things out, although I suppose they could have emailed everybody they'd sent them asking if their plants were OK, and asking for some pics if possible, as that would have supported any potential claims against their courier.

        So after my compo gift voucher, extra plants, and possibly a total of 6 x £5 T&M vouchers, all obtained for just 66p + £5 in Clubcard Vouchers (which were earned buying other stuff from T&M!) This might even work out cheaper than free (my favourite price).

              They only started dispatching them on Friday, which kind of got me wondering what they were on about blaming their courier for delays when the very earliest delivery date could have been today, but if they replace the lot + send a gift voucher (which can be used in conjunction with special offers and the £5 vouchers included in each pack) then I wont question it.

              @pamsdish at least you know what to expect and what to do when they arrive

                If they on,y started dispatching Friday surely they wouldn't have dried out that much.
                No quality control obviously :help:
