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

After filling in your details and getting to the stage where it fetches up your printer to print just cancel the printing. You are then left with both coupons on the web page. Now just left click on each one in turn and it will fetch them up as a pdf for you to save. Make sure that you have no pop up blocker running as this could stop you from getting them.

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.

Keep at it you will soon pluck up the courage to use more coupons in one go! As far as the tutters, you don't pay any attention to them as it is your turn at the till and more importantly it is your money that you are saving by using coupons!

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:

Nice one! I like your style!!:T

I have just filled in this survey and it says that you may win a £10 voucher and they send you an info pack with a £1 voucher off Gengigel. The site is GDIB - gum disease information bureau. Anyway I have filled it in and will wait and see.

I have done this survey ages ago and never got anything but thought, what the heck, nothing ventured... So I did it again and this time I made certain I ticked the box saying I'd like them to send me stuff, one really good way of getting a coupon via email is to sign-up for as many newsletters as possible! I'm sure I ticked the box in the past,:rolleyes: but we will see if anything comes of this although I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Nice find though, by all means keep looking and posting anything that might help!! May I just say, it is really nice to see "newbie's" getting involved and actually participating in the great "Where's the coupon?" hunt (kinda like "Where's Wally?")!!!:T:T:T:T:beer:

It's not just me then, I warn people too and then it's up to them and you don't get the tutting :rotfl:
I've even given some of my coupons to some old ladies (not trouts!) behind me in the past if they have been "all for it" and they are really appreciative. As veggiecar says "it's nice to be nice" :A

Just back from a quick whiz round Tescos Extra (small) - they had at least 4 Westlands products on the shelf and were loading up more. So hold on to your coupons just in case!

Also innocent smoothies on offer at mo at £2 and they had a £1 off coupon on the neck, I managed to bag one with two coupons on it :j

Yep, you do get used to it. That's part of the fun. The longer the queue, the redder the faces', the louder the tuts' and the thicker my skin.
