When you fill in your details the print window automatically comes up and you can print the a4 page with the 2 coupons on with your name/email on.

But then when you shut the print box, you get a page with "Thank you for taking the time to enter your details" and then those two links to the pdf coupons.

merci, moi!:A

All I see, though, is a basic screen view of unpersonalised coupons at that point. If you right click on one of them and open the image in another window, it's a JPEG image (to print this would be only a screenshot and a much smaller size than the proper coupon, so not OK). It's not a pdf like Q posted so I am still confused about the pdf, I can't find it on the site at all?

Both the JPEG and the PDF link posted are unpersonalised though so I am not personally happy about using these, only by entering my email addy the way the site asks you to. But then there's still the fact that no-one has said their Tesco store stocks these specific items (yes I know the coupons will probably scan but that's not the point).

I think I will pass on this one for the moment. I will only use some with my email addy on if they are known to be stocked at Tesco (I will check out an Extra and a Homeplus asap). There's plenty more coupons in the sea for this week anyway.:D

Just got back from T with my husband where we used one Sun coupon each along with some others - Bingo!! My husband was getting the food for our holiday and got £7.30 off a £31 spend and I got a bit more off a £39 spend. Rubbish compared to you Pro's but I thought not too bad for a newbie. One question - do you ever get used to the coustomer behind shaking their head, tutting, sighing etc? Thought this huge bloke behind me would have apoplexy he was getting so red in the face at being kept waiting.

hi first post and ive looked through but cant see it anywhere the go ahead 30p coupon from page 1 gone but not forgotten is printing again.

Thanks for checking it! I've been checking the site every day to see if it was working again as I had a feeling it was going to start again soon. I checked this morning but it wasn't working, so I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one checking it out!! Isn't it great having so many eyes looking for coupons!!!:D

You never really get used to the worst ones, you just have to develop a very thick skin. Some customers can make you feel worse than the most miserable old trout does!

A few weeks ago one overbearing, pompous and miserable git was quite rude, and he growled at me that I should wear a badge saying I would be using coupons...moan moan. He had a bit of a go at me and the cashier but she just carried on completing my transaction.

I usually hang around the approach to the till until the last minute, to tell people I will be using coupons so they can decide not to join the queue! In fact I had already 'warned' 2 other people and he had only just joined the queue. In fact, he had only just arrived and was putting his shopping onto the conveyor when the coupon-scanning had already started!

As the last mocs were being scanned, I politely told the idiot that he should bear in mind that some people NEED to use coupons for various financial reasons - our family included - and he should consider himself lucky he didn't. Then I informed him that I had warned 2 other people that it would be a slow till, before he even got there, but due to his bullying attitude I said I was VERY GLAD I hadn't warned him and he deserved to wait!!:rotfl:

I've never known so much confusion over coupons!!:rotfl:

My local Tesco ( HUGE 24hr extra) don't stock the garden products. They have a couple of westland products but not the exact ones so I won't be wasting any ink printing them. Great find though, and if your store does stock them, please let us know.

I received my £10 mccain voucher booklet this morning:j so it seems they DO have stock left!

I looked in my big Tesco Extra too and as you said they had a few of their products but not for what the coupons are for. Also looked in the regular Tesco I use and they didn't have them either.:( Shame.

I got the rejection email from McCain's so no vouchers for me!:mad:

Like your style couponmad - I shall try and adopt your policy when dealing with MOG's (miserable old gits). Pity they don't have a seperate aisle for them!
