    Daily Mail, collectable voucher for afternoon tea from £5.

    There are 2 vouchers in my copy, both the same date.

    Today was the first day of a 6 week Daily Mail offer for me - with M&S vouchers expected as well :T
    I did get a letter about the offer - but put it on one side and forgot....until the end of offer date had passed :eek:. My excuse is an extremely stressful time and very hectic life - but still I was VERY disappointed with myself.
    Then I had a knock on the door and was offered the self-same deal, inc free delivery from my local newsagent.- Now I don't feel so bad about being so dis-organised:p

    First day and a £3.80 MOC - what a start :j
    Bar code VERY blurred and sa couldn't get it to scan anyhow - but very nicely put in the code number. Also, bought last remaining Mail in store, so another £3,80 off tomorrows shopping;)
    I have only been buying papers when there is some good moc's or offers, so getting a paper which has no guarantee of being to my financial benefit seems really extravagant.

    I did get the free hand cream on Saturday from L'occitane, courtesy of the Telegraph. There was a whole line of us in store with our vouchers. Well done that the store was obviously well organised and had plenty of stock. No-one went away empty handed, and we were all offered all 3 choices to pick from.
    SA did valiantly ask if there was anything else we wanted to purchase, but no one was opening their purses;). My friend says their products are excellent though, so I am sure it may gain them new customers.
    In case anyone missed out on Saturday, the paper did say there was an on-line offer.

    "You can receive the hand cream with any other purchase on the site and no postage and packing is required. Simply visit www.loccitane.co.uk and enter code WEBHC at the checkout when prompted. Offer subject to availability and while stocks last. "

    Obviously not as good as being totally free, more a BOGOF offer.

    Roll on lots more lovely offers and MOC in the Mail ;)

    I'm not sure by what you said, but please don't use the Mail coupon in Tesco or Asda because they can't get the money back. this is not money saving and is a reason why many of the supermarkets are cutting back coupons.

    I apoligise if you used the coupon in Smiths - just worth noting...

    Good luck with your future coupon endevours

    That's a very good point. It seems a few people may have missed the fact that yesterday's mega MOC in the Mail was for WH Smiths only.

    Here's hoping they'll do an NSS one soon. :A
