  • I went out and bought Cosmo after seeing the coupons advertised here!

    To clarify:

    There is a free Zest magazine with the Cosmopolitan. Cosmo costs £2.99.

    In the free Zest mag, back pages there are 2x £1 off vouchers for zest magazine (issues Jan and Feb) Barcoded so should scan.

    Page 100 of Zest mag is a voucher for free bottle of appletiser worth 79p.

    And finally in Cosmo, page 212 there is a further £1 off zest coupon, making the coupons total £3.79. That's a profit of 80p.

    All coupons are bar coded.

    thanks Dormouse.....

    Deb - you're right to complain about the vouchers - after all it is the current issue - what are they playing at?

    Has any one tried scanning these in tesco's?
  • Not yet but will let you know if they scan. I didn't realise that the appletiser coupon is already out of date. Well, you don't expect it to be when its a current issue of Cosmo on sale. However I did send off for some coupons online and when they arrived, just recently I might add, the expiry date was August 2005! Cheekily I took them to Tesco where they did scan!!

    The Appletiser coupon, although out-of-date, scans at Tesco (79p). You can also tear the top of the coupon with the date off, as the other date (by which Tesco have to claim the money back) which is shown further down on the coupon, still has still a couple of months to go.
