I am sure you will enjoy your break from coupons, but if you still want to do it while you're away, let us know where you're going and perhaps the nice peeps on here will let you know if there is a coupon friendly Tesco in that area?;)

You're going to say The Maldives aren't you?:rotfl:

Page 42 Coupon for £2.20 off Easy Living Magazine valid to 28/5
at wh smiths,sainsburys,waitrose and voucher accepting independent
stores only

Although this may scan in other outlets, the above are the only places that will be redeemed for the vouchers.

Are you saying Tesco isn't independent? When was it nationalised?

i always thought an independent store was one with only a few branches or when they are franchised so they are lots of little businesses

I'd say that sums it up Katie1991, here is a business definition of it, if it's of interest to anyone http://www.allbusiness.com/glossaries/independent-store/4952567-1.html

Irrespective of your concern over whether or not Tesco is independent, that doesn't affect the fact that it sells easy living magazine, does it?

If I was concerned about their independence, I'd be happy...it would mean I had nothing more important to be concerned about.....;)....I was merely helping a relative newbie with her answer.

You are absolutely correct though, Quentin, I understand that they do sell the magazine.

But IMHO it also answers the main part of
