hi deanne
it was wrong place because you posted about mis using a coupon.
coupons should be redeemed on correct product to coupon
mis redeeming may gain something in short term but in the long run its one of the reason why coupons are harder to use, coupon policies get tightened & less are issued.
then we all miss outdeanne2012 wrote: »ohhh i didnt relise it wasnt allowed i just recived a pm saying it had been took off , do you know why its not allowed did i put it in the wrong place , thanks x0 -
The way you used the coupon is not allowed. You can only us the coupon for the item on it or that is classed as coupon fraud. We will let you off on this occasion as you are new to couponing.
Just as a side note any coupon that is not supermarket specific will scan at the price it says on it. Even without buying the product.
I hope this helps
Happy couponing

Just wish shops would take note of the US, I dream of the time I will be able to do £2000 of shopping and just pay a few pence lol
Don't waste your time, from what I have read the programme is a complete con. Most of the coupons used are fraudulent, i.e. copies of coupons that can onlybe used one per person/household.
I remember seeing a web site that picked apart each programme and showed how it was a con. In particular one about a man who got a large number of packs of washing powder for free with coupons. It showed that the coupons were only given out by one store, when you bought a washing machine. So the man either bought a large number of washing machines or was using fake coupons.
I also saw someone post (on here I think) that in the USA they don't have offers, such as BOGOF and half price that are available to anyone, you have to have a coupon to get one free.
So if we go like the USA you, and the rest of us, will find ourselves in a supermarket looking at an item that is half price, with a coupon, and thinking "I can't get that for half price, because I don't have the coupon. I wish it was like the old days, when these offers were open to everyone, not just those who buy The Times" (Or whichever newspaper/magazine the coupon is published in).
Personally, I don't want to live in a country where you only get access to all the offers if you buy all the publications that publish the coupons.0 -
Geordie Joe is absolutely right. In the latest series participants have even claimed the show was scripted and the production team gave them some of the coupons. Also a blogger who was in one of the earlier series of the show has looked into where they get all these masses of free item coupons from, many of which are fake. If genuine or not, she has figured out they are buying them en masse from ebay; and paying over the odds so they are not 'free' at all-one example was a pizza coupon the person was buying on ebay for about $5 each, even at full price the pizzas never costed that much. In order to buy the amount of coupons they used on the show they would have paid somewhere in the region of $3000! No such thing as a free [STRIKE]lunch[/STRIKE] pizza! Also the pizza company say they have not issued these masses of coupons to anyone so something is afoot.
He or she is correct about there not being really any BOGOF and similar offers in store in the US either so if you don't have a coupon for that you miss out; and they are changing the universal till software and barcode systems over there so you will no longer be able to combine a BOGOF (or as they call it BOGO) coupon with another type of MOC for the same product. Another difference they have there is virtually no PDF coupons and something else I found out a few days ago is that it isn't allowed there to use PDF coupons out of newspapers or newsletterseven if the newspaper company put the newspaper online, i.e. the equivalent of the Metro newspaper or Tesco price news. Over there the company will not reimburse the store for such coupons and you could get in serious trouble for coupon fraud. xx0 -
Deanne it says clearly on the coupon to only be used on the item or item range specified. If the company finds it has been used on another product then they will not redeem the supermarket for it, meaning the supermarket will hesitate to accept coupons in the future. Coupon fraud can be serious and some people have been prosecuted so please be careful. A few years ago it was acceptable to use coupons for items not bought, or supermarket specific coupons in a different supermarket but some people absolutely took the mick with it and so the supermarkets banned it outright a year or so ago. xx0

hear,hear.
One thing we should remember, it is a tv program and as with all reality tv tv programmes, they are edited, to get the most out of the people watching them.
I think most of us would not tune in if it was recorded and left the exact way it appeared. They would probably find the viewings dwindled and they lost money.
So like anything they make it viewable by editing, filming some scenes for entertainment..... how many times have I seen that at the end of a programme.....0 -
