Lol that is a lot of mocs but you have to treat yourself once in a while and I'm glad you enjoyed it. :T:T:T:T:T:T

My shopping trip was very good I should have paid just over £36 but after mocs I paid 70 odd pence lol!!! :T:T:T:T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Included in that shopping was 3 500g bags of reduced frozen lamb cutlets. They should have been £5 but were sumthing like 98p a bag. I don't like lamb but my sister and one of my brothers do and I got some of tonights deserts lol :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The nice sa I went to did try telling me I couldn't use the morrisons vouchers and he looked at me like I had 2 heads. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I was really nice but stood my ground though. The supervisor said no but when I said I had checked with cs in store last week and used them he toddled off to the cs desk and upon his return said yes thats fine an typed it in for the sa :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

So definately a very successfull shop I think but I did miss having my partner in crime lol :(:(:(

What a good shop you had,:T do you use that amount of coupons all the time? and are they mostly printable ones?

I am just starting to get into this couponing have had probs with them scanning and my local won't key them in (unless you get nice ones that just do it anyway:A).

Although have fiddled around with them and today they printed tiny and i thought i would have loads of probs but every one scanned fine, so chuffed as this will also save a lot of ink:j although a bit of waste of paper as struggle with getting more than one on each sheet as are mostly PDF format, but must not complain i use MOC's for the paper.

Hope you are all having a good time, we have been doing garden up and its looking fab with all my Tesco plants and hanging baskets etc:D

Morning everyone. I can't believe how busy you have all been while I've been on holiday - I've got 54 pages to read :eek:.
As you can probably guess I haven't got through them all yet :rotfl:.
While on holiday, I did manage to find one Tesco near the canal, a Metro in Leamington Spa but they didn't take ANY coupons :mad:. We hadn't spent much anyway, too busy calling in at pubs along the route! I've managed 2 trips to my local Tesco since we got back and it's still 3 or 4 coupons and pay 25% so at least I know where I stand. Will join in the conversation more when I've trawled through all your chat.

Welcome back, glad you had a nice holiday!!

My asda again refuse to accept Internet coupons! It was 10pm so i realise now that it is better to go in afternoon around 3pm. because all 4 staff said NO last night!

If you have managed to get 1 on a page then simply copy said image & paste again. It will automatically drop onto the best available space.
I select minimal margins to get the best use of an A4 page.

Wow you paid 70p! Your area is very lucky while my area is very strict, Asda don;t accept internet coupon due to policy, Morrison accept only if product buy, Tesco don;t accept internet coupons anymore.

how many MOC did you gave? In tesco, i scan then post the coupon inside the slot, and screen alert waiting for approve, the lady open the coupon slot and said sorry we can;t accept, i show them the email from TESCO and they said sorry we can;t accept internet coupon anymore even i bought the same product. then i have to cancel it.

any of your areas accept any MOC, you are lucky because i am unable to saving any money and must force pay all things when i have MOC and can;t use it.

I think it's coupon net the problem...

Only things i've done is i changed the printer ink, and then a few days late installed explorer 8, and coupon net said something about whateer it was, i clicked the little poppy up thing up the top, i choose my coupons, but the page went to "have your coupons printed" my printer was on......it made no sound of printing, nothing printed!. I think its got something to do with the info coupon net sends to the printer, and not peoples printers or upgrading to explorer 8..it could be couponnet broke again, has anyone email them?

It is ALL to do with the info couponnet sends to the printer...they have safeguards in place to ensure that the coupon cannot be stored electronically and re-printed as often as the user wants!

In my most humble opinion and couponnet experience on lots of machines:

Couponnet works fine...... if you are using Mozilla firefox and Windows XP

Couponnet works fine if you use Mozilla firefox and windows vista as long as you only have one printer, and no software printers/faxes installed.

Couponnet works fine...... if you are using Mozilla firefox and Windows98

Couponnet will not work on linux, with ANY browser.

So the problem is not at the couponnet end...it is with the ever changing browser compatabilities, and how we operate our systems.....
If the couponnet system does not recognise something, it will not allow the print to go through...and quite rightly so, IMHO.

If you have a browser that works....keep it for couponnet....load another one for other browsing if you like....or if the new one doesn't work.....go back to your old one.....use the windows refresh option, to go back to an earlier time. (programs/accessories/system tools/system restore).

I posted last night about Vista printer issues...if it applies to you....try it.

also from the couponnnet site

Is my printer supported?

Please note that ONLY paper based printers are supported. Flash, Adobe/PDF, Queue stackers, File printers etc are not supported due to fraud protection measures.

Please check your printer settings to make sure your default printer is a regular printer. The coupon must be printed to paper. Some printer drivers (this will be displayed in the error message) have an option to print to a file that cannot be circumvented. For security reasons, these printers are not supported. If you have a multifunction printer (fax, copy, print), please make sure the printer function is the default printer on your computer.

I have had a number of issues, on a number of computers, and all have been able to print fresh couponnet coupons.
It is all detailed on this thread or the previous ones, but the main things are as stated above......use firefox, use ccleaner to uninstall, clean out all rubbish and clean the registry (several times), re-boot,install couponprinter and start printing again.

If you get stuck, couponnet have most of the answers on their site......but they don't know what you have on your system....and they have to safeguard theirs!
:beer:

Edit:....this was meant as a printing-in-general/browser compatibility post, and not just a reply to Jen.....lots of folk are reporting problems, but it depends on individual software issues.... not problems from couponnet...I find their system annoying far-to-robust to break;)

Also from couponnet site for info:

Why couldn't I install the Coupon Printer?

If you are experiencing problems installing the Coupon Printer there may be a few reasons:

1. You may not have permission to download programs on your computer or you are using software that blocks the installation
If you are trying to print coupons at work or from a computer at a library, Internet cafe or university, you may not have permission to download and install programs onto the computer you are using. This may be true even if you've downloaded and installed other files. Contact your network administrator for more information. If you have a home computer, you may find it easier to access our coupons there.

You might also be running software that prevents installation on your computer. Please make sure to turn off any anti-virus software or any anti-spyware or adware software. While we have attempted to work with most of the major publishers of such software to ensure that our Coupon Printer is not blocked, there may be programs that block the installation, or put up a warning that you are about to install a program. You should choose to allow the installation.



2. The security settings in your browser are set too high
If you receive warnings or errors that an attempt to install and ActiveX control (Internet Explorer) or a plugin was blocked, or are asked for permission to install a program, you may need to change your browser's security settings to allow installation of these types of controls. Also, make sure to click the appropriate buttons in any dialog boxes that appear to allow the installation. Modern browers make you jump through a few hoops to install plugins, but it's worth it!


3. Your operating system or browser is incompatible
Coupon printing is currently supported on Windows 98, NT4, 2000, ME, XP and Vista when used with Internet Explorer 5+, Netscape 7+, FireFox 1.0.7+ and most MSN and AOL browsers. Coupon printing is also supported on Macintosh when using Safari under OS X 10.3 and higher. Coupon printing is not supported by the Compuserve 2000 7.0 browser. While connected to Compuserve, use Internet Explorer or another browser to print your coupons. Coupon printing is not supported on Linux or WebTV.

Good news for those of you that need more Finish Quantum, the packs of 10 are selling at the mo in the Co-op for £1.75. I bought two but the assistant said she couldnt take off £2 for each of my two coupons but could deduct £1.75 for each so they were free. I was quite happy with this. Perhaps someone could take a look in Somerfields as they might be the same price there.
