Thanks for that, what does the mag look like i.e. what's on the front cover please and how did you get it

Can any of you techies help me again please (VC!!). Is there any way to store messages or do you have to delete them to make room in you inbox?

Hi BW,
if you select all your messages you want to store
(click the box beside each message)
then go down below all the msg and you will see a box with "selected messages- move to folder" on it
change this (using the arrow to the right of the box) to download as text
then press the "go" button to the right of it

Fresh Ideas is normally only sent out to selected Nectar cardholders AFAIK. In the past it has been hit and miss as to whether I get one when my Mum gets sent her copy.

They are not available instore AFAIK, wish they were if they have all these NSS mocs.



P.S. Re the Ecover mocs, I haven't had time to look yet as it's half term and we've been off out with the kids every day (and then to Tesco on the way home, lol!).

But if it's a leaflet that has the moc on it then quite probably it's not supposed to be printed. I haven't rushed to have a look and haven't the time right now to faff about printing these front & back, and it sounds a little dodgy anyway from everyone else's description. Dodgy as in a possible 'screenshot'.

Even the Finish moc falls into this category but stupidly, Reckitt Benckser (or whatever their name is) emailed me and others to say we could use that moc in printed form...then less than a day later they took it off the internet - horse and bolted spring to mind...:rotfl:

Hi, im fairly new with the coupons but worried by the amount of ink they use, will they still scan ok if you print them draft and is black and white ok or do they need to be printed in colour?
Really loving it so far, just got a small shop of £8is for 80p! feel so naughty but loving the fact there is nothing wrong with doing it!
Hope you dont all think im being tight with the ink as i am saving off my shopping, but im running a lexmark printer and have just found out the cartridges are not refillable as there on a return program, any one else had this problem with lexmark? i just brought the printer from tesco its the better than half price wireless one.
thanks again everyone!

Welcome to the forum! I think some stores do take b & w printed coupons. I had a Lexmark (still do but it's put away) but because the ink is so expensive I bought an Epson with a continuous ink system which is much cheaper on the ink.

Me again.....

Also the Mission Deli Wraps are 2 for 1 at £1.68 in Tesco, does this mean we can use 3 of the 60p coupons?

Nic

Yes!!!!:D One per item you buy and one for good measure!!

tonynotts

At my local Sainsburys on the Customer Services Counter there was pile of 50p coupons for West Country Farmhouse Mature Cheddar or Shortbread Rounds or Fairtrade Tea or Spiced Ham (counter) or Farmhouse butter.

Valid until 30/6/09
Unfortunately is it store specific.

For Tesco's own coupons you generally have to buy the product for each coupon used, unfortunately.
Otherwise the till says that there is an "insufficient spend" and gives the annoying beep rather than the nice pleasant beep;)

Yes, but you are buying 2 cartons so you can use 2 coupons without the till refusing one. I have used 2 Tesco coupons in the past when I was buying 2 of the items the coupon was for and had no problems.

[QUOTE=veggiecar;21931621]It was highlighted on here last week by some-one.
webcouponportal.blogspot.com/

Had a quick look on this site, here are some quotes from the coupon news section

Campaigners have referenced section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006, which suggests the consumer may be acting dishonestly by false representation. However, it is unlikely any action would ever be taken by a manufacturer or brand against an individual over a £2 coupon.:eek:[/QUOTE]

This must be why sometimes they don't like taking the over £2 coupons without getting approval from a supervisor. I have in the past had over £2 coupons refused unless I was going to buy the item!

Morning all

Just opened my post and received my Sainsbury's magazine "Fresh ideas" It has £6 worth of Heinz nurture baby milk MOC's inside £3, £2, and £1 NSS. Also a 30p cheerio MOC, and the usualy Sainsburys only vouchers.

Worth checking out if you receive it, does anyone know if they have these mags in store?

Nic x

Thanks for the find,
I've just looked through my copy and cannot seem to spot the baby milk coupons.
They might be right under my nose but what page were they on?
Thanks

I just called them as it is an 0800 number and spoke to a very nice man, with a very sexy voice, and he said to receive a magazine is pretty much potluck as a computer selects who to send them to but he put me down as wanting one and hopefully the computer will pick me to get one. They are not in the stores so don't rush out to get one!
