If you like Charmin it's on offer at Co-Op - the Fresh Linen version is BOGOF at £2.69 (until 31.5) - so £1.69 for 8 rolls with 2 coupons.

Thanks for clarifying this as I was always under the impression that the store you use the coupon in actually sells the product. My favorite Tesco will only accept the coupon if they themselves stock the item so I will raise this question with them and see what they have to say. Will let you all know what they say.

In my store they go check the shelves. If the item is NOT on the shelf the refuse. I had severe trouble initially with the Cow & Gate & also the Activia one & more recently the Garnier one off Couponnet, no goer that one.

So where I did assume if Tesco sold said item I could use the MOC however this isn't the case in my store. That said I have occasionally nipped into an express store & used a MOC knowing full well it isn't likely to be on the shelf & it was taken !!!! Quite a merry go round!

Has anyone else noticed that in Fridays SUN the £5 off £30 shop at morrisons MOC has a valid date of 15/06/09 to sun 21/06/09 in the T&C’S but under the barcode it has a valid date of 01/06/09 to sun 07/06/09 just like Wednesdays MOC? When can we use it!

Coupon woman, this used to happen to me - never know which till i'll get thrown to. Now I have even prepared myself for that. I find a coupon friendly s.a, check to see where the supervisor is (usually they are the ones managing the tills), linger in an aisle opposite the till I want to use (if there is a long queue), just happen to be browsing in there for a few mins until the queue goes down. Once that happens I get myself over to that till and quickly unload the shop. That way if s.v asks me to move to a till that is empty I politely decline, as re-packing my trolley and moving to another till will look like more work than its worth. I also spread my shopping out on the conveyor belt to put ple off from joining the queue. Gosh so much planning, but its worth it when you save the £'s!

I do exactly the same thing. I always see who is on checkouts too so I have an idea of which one I am going to go to.

I used to pick my SA carefully but now it really doesn't matter. Every coupon has to be checked by the till super, buzzed over from their station so I go to whomever. I will go to nice ones when I can but in & out ASAP for me.

I do this aswell. I take my trolley to the SA then pretend to look at the isle closest to it whilst holding my shoppig list and a confused face pretending that I can't find the product I am looking for, then I keep glancing back at my trolley whilst keeping a eye on the supervisor, when the coast is clear I make a dart for the conveyor belt and empty my trolley. All good fun, all us couponers should live longer, you know what they say about making the heart race faster at least once a day.

Yeah I'd noticed that but I'd go with the date in the t & c's.
