Careful, if you don't normally buy the times, then you have to spend 8 x £1.50, plus an outbound stamp, so this offer may not be as good as it seems . . . net worth less than £8, so 2for1 deals look better, assuming there are more of course . . .

Unless you buy the paper at Tescos with MOC's.:rotfl:

I got a copy this morning (in Ipswich) and it included a free "Hello" magazine (seems to be a full copy but I haven't had the time to read it yet). Also got a free packet of tissues when I purchased it from my local "One Stop" shop. A good start to the day with two freebies!

I not saying whether it's a good deal or not, I put it up as information but the net worth less than £8 isn't entirely correct as you also effectively get 8 free Saturday newspapers as well.

I have to echo what jeferey posted above, and thanks to Barneydog for posting about it. :T

If we buy the papers with mocs then it's like buying a £20 pizza voucher plus eight newspapers, for £8 in mocs (which could be free printable ones). Got to be a good deal methinks?

Pizza Express is also part of Tesco Deals - so hopefully if your local PE play ball then maybe you could combine them and get £20 off then pay the rest in Deals. I wonder if the £20 could be used for drinks (Deals can't be, unless your local PE don't know that...).

I will do this, I think, for a cheap/free party meal for my sons in June. I may buy 2 x the Times each Saturday. Gotta love their cryptic crosswords and at least it's not so trashy that I won't read it (unlike the Mail & the Sun which I only buy for any mocs then recycle them unread).

I of course meant net worth of vouchers (not total net worth) is less than £8, not £20. Yes, you may read the paper, but if people are only gettting the paper for this deal (and I have done this with another paper, where you skim read) then in that situation you are not going to save £20 - and fair do's to those that are buying the paper anyway, who stand to gain the most....

Silly question, but what's a masthead? Is it the front page?
