    It varies from store to store. Most Asda and Tescos will accept any non-store specific coupons even if you haven't bought the product. :)

    If the voucher specifies a store, you can sometimes use it in a different supermarket but would usually need to buy the product.

    Can anyone confirm that all the vouchers are non-store specific and in theory they can be used against a shop in Tescos even if you don't buy the item? I would have a look myself but I assume that the mag is in a polybag as there are two in one? 70p seems very good for all these vouchers!

    At the very least you should be able to use your 35p Best coupon and your free Muller voucher so with these two you have your money back even before you have used any of the other coupons.

    Not every voucher is non-store specific but lots of them are.

    I made my money back immediately by using the £1 Oxy voucher from the main magazine. In Waitrose. And I didn't buy the product.

    I wonder how many of us are now considering the subscription offer: £9 for 12 copies...

  • Yes im considering it but wondering if each subsequent mag will be as good with vouchers as this one has been?

    Wasn't there a very similar magazine a few months ago that came free with a paper, and it had a similar subscription offer? I missed out on the mag but remember reading here about it. Did those that subscribed ever receive it? :confused:

    I've subscribed to Zing this month for the £9 offer on the basis that as long as each mag has at least 75p worth of vouchers in it, that will cover my outlay!

    As for the vouchers in this months issue, I have successfully used in Tescos:
    the 3 wilkinsons vouchers
    oxy voucher
    bic soleil voucher
    burgen voucher
    Best 35p voucher
    so this makes £5.05 off!

    Hence why I have bought 6 more copies of Best to cover the next 6 weeks shopping until most of the coupons expire at the end of July. Note that the Burgen, Oxy and Soleil vouchers expire end of Sept, Aug and December respectively, so that along worth buying at least another 4/5 copies of Best to get £1.75 off for 35p outlay!

    Checkout girl told me you have to get the Muller yoghurt in your shop to get it free (no bar code so they have to manually input it).

    The Tesco specific vouchers only go through the till if you have bought the actual products (but Asda seem to accept them even though Customer Services confirmed to me that it does not come under their policy)

    King of Shaves SHOULD come off as Tescos do stock the product, but it beeps wrong at the checkout and they wouldn't do it manually as I didn't buy the product.

    ALthough I am thinking of going and buying lots of King Shaves products to use up the vouchers as we have a church collection for men's toiletries for chernobl teenages at the moment. Anyone found the cheapest place to buy King of Shaves at the moment? Was thinking probably Boots might have a 3for2 on lol.
