FWIW, I used the Bacardi ones in Waitrose today too, and no problem. The cashier asked her supervisor about how many vouchers she could accept, but the SA said that there was NO limit (!) as long as they sold the item. I didn't use the Local one (for wine) or one that was marked as Sainsbury only (can't remember what it was for).

How many copies do you all usually get on "good days" like this? I was thinking about checking my local shop 'round the corner to see if they had any more.

If the coupons had longer expiration dates I would usually acquires a good few dozen (especially if it a cheap/free newspaper). As most of these are only valid for a week or so I only acquired 40 copies of the Sun today. Most wombled off the train this morning. It's surprising how many people read the Sun if I could womble 23 off one train. :rolleyes:

Also the Sunraysia one is valid at Mr T, they sell it and there are no restrictions on the coupon. It also doesn't have an expiry date. :rotfl:

Who is he stealing from he is picking up discarded rubbish, people have bought the papers, read them, then instead of finding a bin have left them on the train.

As far as I can see it just shows how few people actually use moc's which has to be good news for us doesn't it? Someone on pts was even offering a spare set, not even an sae needed I would have had them if they had longer dates but only shop once a week so let someone else have the chance...

Many thanks Princess Coupon. :T :T

Obvious that previous poster is somewhat jealous that they couldn't be bothered to go looking for coupons. Perhaps they expect them to land in their laps.

Nothing comes to those that wait.

*ahem*

From the lyrics to the Wombles theme tune (Aah, this takes me back!)

Underground, Overground, Wombling Free, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.
Making good use of the things that we find, things that the everyday folks leave behind.

Uncle Bulgaria, he can remember the days when he wasn't behind The Times,
With his map of the World. Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory!

Wombles are organized, work as a team. Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean.
Underground, Overground, wombling free, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we!

People don't notice us, they never see, under their noses a Womble may be.
We womble by night and we womble by day, looking for litter to trundle away.

We're so incredibly, utterly devious making the most of everything.
Even bottles and tins. Pick up the pieces and make them into something new, is what we do!

Now, if even the lyrics refer to taking the papers and giving them to Tobermoray (Younger readers, this refers to a Womble, not to the village on the Isle of Mull) I don't see what the issue is.

*wanders off whistling the Wombles theme*
