This thread is for PRINTABLES which is why it isn't listed, but keeps getting mentioned in the chat have a look at http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1150875&page=2:beer: for MOCs on products

Thanks Veggiecar! This has been mentioned previously, so I put a link to the thread in the FAQs.

Q: Where else can I get coupons from, apart from printables?
A: Check the daily newspaper thread & magazine thread. Also try the 'products with coupons' thread, here.

Thanks to everyone who has thanked me on the first two posts. It really isn't much effort to keep them updated, so please don't worry!!

Most of the hard work is done by the regular posters who take time and effort to help everyone make the most of coupons (you know who you are!!!). :j

Hi

Still got to keep up with yesterdays posts, but just seen this on ebay about vouchers

Posted on 29, which is today ( i think )

Manufacturer Vouchers
From 30th June 2009, eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie will launch a Manufacturer Vouchers policy. eBay is committed to working with the voucher industry to help ensure that eBay is not a venue for fraudulent voucher-related transactions and to providing its users with a safe place to trade. Therefore, the listing of valid vouchers will be permitted on the site with the following limitations:

• Expired Vouchers: The sale of recently expired vouchers is not permitted on eBay as such vouchers serve no valid purpose and could be used in a fraudulent manner. Collectible vouchers that clearly cannot be redeemed may be permitted.
• Electronic "scanned" vouchers: All vouchers sold through eBay must be physically delivered to the buyer, and may not be delivered by electronic means for home printing. Further, to reduce the potential for voucher abuse, eBay asks that sellers refrain from placing clear, unaltered scans of vouchers in their listings that could be copied, printed and redeemed in stores. The sale of scanned or photocopied vouchers may breach copyright laws, and sellers of such unlawful items could face legal action.
• Bulk voucher sales: Bulk voucher listings are defined as listings that contain more than 20 vouchers for the same item, or more than 100 total vouchers. If it is unclear how many vouchers are offered, the listing will be considered to be in breach of policy. Voucher inserts (packets of vouchers typically found in newspapers) are limited to a maximum of 5 per listing, unless the seller indicates in the listing that the quantity of vouchers for sale is under 100 total vouchers.
• Vouchers for 'free' products: Vouchers for free products, with no purchase required, are limited to two per listing. Internet home-printed vouchers are also limited to 2 per listing.

Full details of these two policies will be available on 30th June
Regards,
The eBay Team

Forgot to tell you...was chatting to a SA who was pushing a home shopping trolley around, she asked about my coupons, as she knows I use them.Told her I was still using them with no probs...she said she always used this site for internet printable mocs but not anymore as she is banned from using them at the store, she was fined 1 weeks pay( as was another SA) and they are both on 12 months probation...she told me she only uses M/facturers coupons now and buys them on ebay...she bought £40 of Finish m/fctrs for £15..probably got from a Lakeland Store...she was not a happy bunny at all, as she said , when not working she is a customer too.

Think this might be why some old trouts have a problem with non staff using coupons. I know I would be po'd if they stopped me using coupons ( I know I also get discount but I use coupons to try and keep my family afloat!!! ) The store I work at takes coupons as long as we stock the item in our branch and as we are an express we don't stock much!!!

What a day, to hot for me to trapse around a garden centre, but the wife insisted, whilst there i had to look for vouchers (as you do, it,s addictive)

the garden centre we visited is a local one but very big and posh.
Prince edward lives 500 yards in one direction, and sarah ferguson, fergie lives about 1/2 mile in the other direction. So i wasnt expecting money off coupons.

So to my delight there was a stand full of the vouchers so me and the wife done what it said (help yourself) when we got home we had a count up 217 leaflets all with a 50p off coupon.
Evergreen complete, tomorite, mow it less and singles.

Plus on the way out i had to get an ice cream the biggest they had with nuts, a flake and chocolate sauce.

What a day..

I wondered if it was legal myself and tried to find out a little more, ie which and how many had she used...I asked if they thought she had photocopied them, either at home or in store, but she said the coupon office is locked and only the staff asscoiated with coupons were allowed in...she really was fuming about it....funny thing is though...I posted earlier I had forgotten hubbys Telegraph...well I also forgot his juice and forgot to get some cash from the cash machine as we are going to the fishing tackle show tomorrow and want cash for the bargains...don't want to risk handing of my credit card( you never know)....after long day yesterday hubby fell asleep in the chair , so decided as the car had not been put away, I'd be a good girl and pop out for his paper.....had to detour 'cos of traffic, so called for a Sun from another store,didn't want to draw attention to the fact that it was my 2nd visit of the day, and mad woman with scissors might look a bit strange.... sat in the car and cut out coupons, then went to Tesco...got another 6 pack of crisps, 3 pack colour cartridge as had been given £2 till spit this morning, 2 OJ's... £14.59 and another £9.50 of mocs..no probs using the mocs as it was the same SA I had spoken to this morning, but she was on the tills , now she could have been funny with me and 'old troutish' and refused some of them , but she was lovely......grand total today £35 ('ish) of mocs used against £55('ish) spend....every little helps....

Ok I am totally skint until later this month (I could use credit card and pay it off when I get my money) but I am in total awe of those of you that manage to pay so little for your shopping so I want to try it too. Normally I do a main shop once a month and use about £10-£20 of mocs and a couple of other shops a month using anywhere between £5-£15 in mocs, obviously this is gonna have to change this month. So I am after as many tips and advice as possible (that you are willing to share) on how the best way to go about it. Obviously I need to do my shopping daily at least.

I have already looked at the magazine thread and if I am looking correctly I don't think there are any mags that are worth buying at the moment where mocs outweigh the cost of the mag. I know I will have to check the newspaper thread daily. Is there any coupons from newspapers that I should be aware of that can't be redeamed in Tescos?

I already spend too much time on here - somehow I get the feeling that I am gonna be spending even longer on here for the next few weeks lol! So any advice whatsoever - even on how best to organise things would be very much appreciated.
