How much do you save on your shopping using coupons?

RAMBLER

Definately tightening up on coupon use, but Tesco will still let me use about 10-15% each shop. Well worth it...

My local store say that they will not take any vouchers now, after my problems I send hubby who they don't recognise and he can usually use a few. If when I am working in Cardiff I drive to another Tescos I find they take anything I give them. Haven't tried Western Ave as it is off the beaten track but I hear they are OK too.

I am planning to combine several clothing vouchers to get the kiddies school uniform so fingers crossed it works ! - Welshy x

May I ask a question?

I have an email from Waitrose stating their coupon policy etc, but will they accept print out web ones ...I have emailed to ask, so hopefully I will have it in black and white, but was just wondering if anyone had used them there yet?

I love Waitrose:D

Thanks so much.

tescos are irractic in they voucher acceptance at mo..... as cs will tell you no coupons unless you buy the product.. then another will take 10%.... i have had an excellent run on voucher use.... so .....now i just got to go with the flow...... but i allways try and wangle a few more being accepted:D

tried self scan once with the health and beauty vouchers.. and the till was bleeping after 1 voucher.... and sa came over and was over riding the till after every voucher.... so i will allways go to a manned till now... and take pot luck.... dont use my regular tescos so much now.. as i think they all know who i am.... but wait until this lot of youngsters go off to collage.. there will be another batch of newbies there then:D

I'm lucky enough to live in a University town right by the Uni so my local Tescos is chock full of student SAs and the staff changes all the time. I always look for the youngest, preferably male, SA and be as polite and friendly as possible. I've yet to have any number of coupons declined here, sometimes getting as much as 50% off a £25 shop, although I usually shop often, buy a small amount of items and then use maybe £1 - £2 worth of vouchers as it works out a pretty good precentage discount. In the bigger out of town Tescos, they'll only take 5 vouchers, however much you spend (so I won't be going there again in a hurry!)

Bah. I went to Superdrug this morning with a printed discount coupon. But found none of the several items I wanted to purchase, so I bought nothing.

Later I went to Tesco with this quarter's vouchers (but forgot the money voucher). I used them all and saved a whacking 10% of my whole shopping, plus got a fair amount of clubcard points. Not bad!

I needed my Tesco fix today, saw a freeview box with 500 points bonus on it, so thought yes I'd get that - the SA said it was the only one left so she went to look for the box, waited nearly 10 mins and she said sorry cannot sell it to you as cannot find paperwork so no box for me.

Wanted cat litter and the value stuff was sold out - I begrudge paying £2.78 for a bag but did but decided to slip the cashier some money off vouchers so ended up paying probably the same as the value cat litter sells for. Normally I would not dare give this store vouchers but the cashier took them fine and with raging PMT and a face that could sour milk at a great distance - I was ready for them.

Went to CS to ask about the clothing vouchers that are in other stores, got chatting to CS lady who remarked she hadn't seen me around for awhile to which I replied yes I prefer shopping elsewhere, to which she replied oh was it you that the supervisor had problems with. I told her the woman in question aka the cardiff stalker had been bang out of order and that I only shop in her store out of necessity.
