Wow!
What a great start to Monday morning
Thanks crocker! :beer:
arthur: The 'Ok and 'Harpers Bazzar' coupons have always scanned ok for me in the past at Tesco. Don't think I have tried an 'Easy Living' one before though.

Better watch out for those coupon expiry dates though (some today, one tomorrow)!
Apart from a few copies of the Times where the expiry date of the coupon is longer and the money-off amount higher, it's probably not worth buying stacks of anything IMHO...although such coupons do still scan after the expiry date as we all probably know...;)PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

Just wondering how many copies people actually buy of these newspapers when the coupons are in.
I have bought 9 The Times and 7 of the Daily Mail!!!!
I have not bought the ones with the £1 voucher in for OK as I sometimes have trouble with these ones scanning in the Tescos I go into.Just about to give up!0 -
In 'The Star' newspaper which I bought, the 'OK' voucher is for 50p (not £1). Also today, the Star costs 25p, not 35p
