    Yes MOCs only, from everywhere I can find them.

    I avoid the ones like Betty Crocker and Haagen Daz.

    My family collect them for me plus the guys at work, as soon as I told them I could get them very cheap beer!

    I buy some off ebay, visit all the main shows, ideal home good food shows etc.

    Its becoming harder to maintain that level as the lack of coupons available has dropped but 6 months ago I was doing about 10 shops a week, each one I would pay £20-30 a time in coupons.

    At the moment I just dont have that amount of different, in date, etc ones to use unfortunately.

    A late influx has blessed me with another £18.60 in coupons, I used them today, bringing my total to £446.21. I never pay money for coupons, well havent yet but I wouldn't say I never will. I dont have any problems with internet coupons Tesco still take them from me. I,m very impressed by the thelurch but dont have the bottle to do so much. Hey at a saving of almost £500 since May I,m very pleased.

  • I don't know if this is the right place, but has anyone else found that Adsa will only take coupons now if you buy the goods. I have tried three different times but no luck

    I find it,s up to the cashiers in Asda, they can take them but seem to think your trying to rob them. There is profit sharing type thing going on with staff there, hence they dont like to give you the £2.00 gift card they are supposed to give if your overcharged, cuts into the profits you see. I think some of the staff see coupons in the same light, silly girls and boys! Dont they realise they are treated as cash, they even get a small handling charge on top. Some , of course, are just downright mean.

  • where do these people on ebay get such large amounts of coupons from i.e the ones that sell 50 x 50p xxxx and 50 x 20p xxxx etc....there are quite a few on there selling larger volumes of these various types of coupons?

    I assume they work for the company maybe?

    There was a book given away at the food show earlier in the year (London and NEC), that had loads of coupons in it.

    If you were nice to the staff it was easy to get loads.

    I managed to get 2 full cases (Over 400 books), by having ajoke with the guy unloading the pallet at the main door.

    Mine are personal use only! Never sell on Ebay. but can understand how so many turn up

    Also there are loads of hookey photocopies and repints on there so beware
