Best used to be really good for coupons , its gettin slack these days. I get lots of my coupons when their giving items away in the town centres or train stations. always ask for more coupons and go to different peeps. If u ask nicely they will often give you loads of freebies. they're only their till they get rid of em all. one lady gave me 36 mini dove deod another gave me half a dozen boxes of showerburst 12 mini bottles in each. yeah

Keep an eye out when you're going round the supermarkets themselves.

I go to sainsburys sometimes and spotted some vouchers with the cheese just after Christmas and the other week there were 2 leaflets about baxters beetroot lying by the till, looked like someone had disguarded them - anyway picked them up and had a flick through and each had a 30p and 40p off coupon in the back - scanned very nicely in Tescos.


I've done the I'd like to try your product, I tried and loved/didn't like your product thing and have been pretty successful. I normally try companies I'd actually like to try/like to use and then use the vouchers to get them cheaper next time I shop - this is a good plan if you shop somewhere like Sainsburys.

Yes tescos take one coupon iof each variety if you don'y buy that product the trick is to find a cashier that takes the max coupons and look out for them when you shop. Usually a bored male student type and don;t try too many coupons or you may alert the officious lady on the next till. eg I spend about £20 and give around £4 to £5 worth of coupons have a few hand in case any are rejected if the till won't take them for any reason. Also I stick to 50p and pound ones if poss as need less paper at the till.

If you get refused by said officious lady sa try again next time.

good luck and asda take coupons too

no harm in asking the checkout operator what their coupon policy is for things you haven't bought. my asda will always take up to ten percent of the value of your shopping if the coupon is for something they stock, nothing more. it's a good saving though, i'm happy with ten percent :-)

my tesco changes their minds from day to day i think! sometimes it's one coupon no matter how much you spend, sometimes it's one of each coupon (no duplicates) up to a maz of either ten or twenty percent. apparently there are stores in some places who will take as many coupons as you give them.

i sometimes buy coupons off ebay but only if i know they're ones you can use anywhere. some sellers make a packet by selling coupons from supermarket magazines that are only valid in that supermarket when you buy the product, so check feedback and ask a question before buying. it might seem petty to some but i'm happy to pay a fiver for a tenner's worth of coupons, it means i save a fiver in the long run.

zing magazine is a good source of coupons, more than the purchase price, search on here for a thread about it or sign up at their website.
