    Not that I haven't missed the MOC - I have, but I haven't bought a paper for ages, so saved my money, and the time involved, and can focus on writing Christmas cards rather than sitting cutting out coupons.
    A few more poor days for coupons and I may even get the Present shopping done ;)
    If it carries onto next week the kids might even get a hot meal on the 25th:D

    The last decent coupons I got from the paper was some lovely £10 off £60 spend for Waitrose, but despite Tesco policy being to accept them, my local refused point blank !!
    I have some £5 off a £25 spend for M&S food and drink, but I have read mixed comments on whether Tesco will accept, so I'm not holding my breath.
    I have saved time by not going out buying papers, but I feel lost when I get to the checkout and end up paying the whole bill with money:eek:
    It is such a shock to the system

    Hopefully the coupons should reappear after Christmas when I have the time to go newspaper shopping;)

    In case I forget to say it later

    Merry Christmas :santa2:
  • No MOCs today... :(
  • No NSS MOCs today...

    Today's Crussh offer is on page 25 - take the whole paper to a Crussh branch and make any purchase and they'll give you a free mince pie.

    I rang Colleen at Tesco customer service and she confirmed that I could use the Waitrose vouchers in Tesco and when I was challenged I told the assistant & supervisor what I had done - accepted no problem so I went back next day and used the other one too!
