how much do you have to pay for the rubbish that comes with it

Not a freebie, as you have to buy the paper. Also, it's already included on the free dvds thread on the other forum.

Thanks for posting the info.

As others have already pointed out, there is a thread over on the Grabbit board that is dedicated to these free DVD offers so I've moved the thread over to that board.

The Guardian is NOT a load of rubbish dobbiesloan. Martin writes in the Money section!!

Well said Eileen! I fully agree ... and not just because Martin writes for it.

Having said that, any paper that gives away decent films worth watching is worth buying - it's an extremely cost effective way of building up a nice DVD collection

Picked up my copy of the Guardian today. Luckily, I managed to grab the last one in Tesco (and this was at lunchtime!).

If you got the Guardian for the DVD dont' miss the £1 voucher on page 4, should be able to use it off your shopping in Tesco so that makes the paper and DVD a bargain 20p!

Always a TOTAL freebie in my house.
In fact I'd be significantly worse off if I didn't "BUY" them !!!!!!!!

I have at least £10 of newspapers EVERY week as an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM.
Several times a year it will be £20 - £25 and on odd occasions maybe even £40 or £50 worth.

I'd guess £750 to £1000 worth in a year.

NEVER pay for a single one.
NOT done so for at least 3 years, probably more than 4 actually, difficult to remember the last time I did pay for one.

Just use newspaper coupons and magazine coupons to buy the lot.

I get all the CDs and DVDs for nothing.
I've had all the Freebie offers (loads of pints of beer, dozens of free restaurant meals, Fish & Chips galore from Georges & Harry Ramsdens, sarnies from Subway and McDonalds, bags and bags of McCain oven chips, scores of cinema tickets, books, even a free DVD player apart from the P&P and loads of supermarket or product coupons for free items or money off for "discounts" at ASDA/Tesco etc.) .... the list is almost endless.

To maintain a stock of coupons I use coupons to buy papers with more coupons in.
For example - £2 coupon buys 5 Daily Mails at 40p each
Each Daily Mail has a £2 coupon in so I end up with £10 worth.
Used one £2 coupon to "buy" them so a net gain of £8

I buy enough of them frequently enough that I don't run out.
