CouponWoman

Hi

I did a £105 shop and used 2 x £5 Daily Mail coupons, 2 x £5 Farmfood coupons, a well as some of the smaller Daily Mail coupons ie. £1 off cereals etc, before they ran out of date, and then my usual moc's and paid £38+

I know its not as good as sher but I was so pleased as got over £60 off, and son very pleased as got a computer game out of it.

A few times now I have used 2 conditional spend coupons at the same time without effectively doubling up on the spend.

:j:j:j

neas

I use the 5 quid LIDL one and the 2.50 farmfood one on same shop :P.

No probs here .

That's what I was trying to get at though, if you have a £5 farmfoods with a min spend of £50 and a £5 lidl with a min spend of £30 then you should have to spend £80 to use them both.

I am just trying to see if they definitely should work together without having to spend to two minimums added together as I don't have a lot of other MOCs to use and it would not make sense for me to do a £50 shop if I could not use them all at the same time.

Morning everyone,

Havent been on much lately as my son is in hospital & have been spending most of my time there, however I did manage to fit in visiting T as it is near the hospital. I have used several farmfoods vouchers and have not spent the required amount so I guess it depends on your store. One metro store I visit said they couldnt take them at all because they didnt have a barcode and then I went to an Extra and they took a couple on each shop. I havent got any Lidl coupons so dont know how these work.

Hope your son is OK judy2357 and gets out of hospital soon.
Re: Lidl - they don't scan but in my T's the SA called over a supervisor and she put it in for him as a non-scan.
I couldn't resist it yesterday - OH said we needed milk so popped in and handed over 3 MOC's a 20p coin and got a few coppers change - I seem to be needing a MOC fix more and more often, if they ever stop taking MOC's the withdrawal symptoms will be horrendous for me and quite a few other people on this forum I am sure :eek::eek::eek: :rotfl:

You can't photocopy the couponnet ones. There's something on them - I think probably in the dotty scrambled rectangle bit near the top on the right, that means any photocopies come up completely black. I know someone who tried to do them at work, so they've at least managed to put a block on that side of things, which is good.

Yes they can be photocopied, I have seen photocopied couponnet coupons, mind you I could tell they were photocopied. It is because of photocopies that many stores have put restrictions on taking coupons or ban them all together.

Correct me if I am wrong Sher60 , Am I right to say that you shop 4 different stores on the same day (once a week ) in order to add up the total of £261.25.

I shop at 2 local stores almost every day and once a week my daughter and I go to 2 stores that are further away, one store allows 2 shops per day with coupons so it is worth the petrol to drive there. It has only been recently though that I have had a choice of more than 2 stores to shop at that follow the national policy. When one of the local stores I used changed to 50% off the total and the 2 Express stores I used to use were told by the area manager not to take coupons anymore unless you buy the product so that was a bummer and left me with only one store I could use so I found other stores further away that didn't have any restrictions. Then my true local started accepting coupons again after an 8 month ban so that made another store I can shop in. At the moment I have 4 stores I can use but that can change at any time.

Anytime there are pdf. file coupons you should always save them somewhere on your computer (I save mine on my desktop so they are handy to just open and print) that way when they disappear you still have access to it to print.

I didn't realise you could save the new £1 and £.50 cow and gate coupons??
