How much do you save on your shopping using coupons?

WELSH-DRAGON_2

My 2 local Tescos accept quick read vouchers and I know that Asda HO have confirmed that they can accept them too. My 3rd local Tescos however does not accept quick reads.

Hi Guys

In response to the original post since I started recording (sad I know but it pleasese me ) the coupons I have used against my shopping today i have reached the grand total of £1,000

I am soooo pleased as for everyone that jokes with me about my use of coupons I can now say (and indeed have been saying) "well that £1000 is enough for a holiday or a months mortgage" - it soon makes people think

The saving has been over 18 months - i look forward to the next bumper coupon haul!!!

Wow, that's fab. I may well start to record myself, although dp already thinks I have a psychological problem regarding money saving - not that he complains when it comes to the money I do save, mind..... I think I might even consider putting away the money saved in a separate account so we can have that holiday (or maybe that would be pathological?)

I may seem dumb, but what are quick read vouchers, and where do you get them from?

I don't know what they are either??

Felicity where have you been ? have you been away ?

I like my voucher usage but even I will limit the amount I hand over, every time I search on ebay for money off vouchers it appears to be a quick read listing !

Hi .... :hello: I haven't been on as much for the last couple of weeks and have also been looking at other boards on here. I am loving the OS board at the moment.

I think a lot of Tesco are stopping accepting the quick reads which is why people are putting them on ebay.

Gutted about the new policy at that Tesco :mad: Somebody has spoilt it for the rest of us, but for themselves also! Apparently the ONLY thing they bought were the vouchers and they kept going back to the same till for more!

Hi, have a look on ebay and you'll see them all for sale. Search under Quick Reads (in the body as well as title).

No, not pathological at all! I keep a spreadsheet and all of my receipts!

It's lovely totting them all up and seeing how much you have saved the household!

I've used quote a lot of these without question but have had a refusal in one store a while ago (I went to a supervisor by mistake, silly silly voucher hunter / user).

Then this in another store this week!

My local Tesco Express has always accepted them.

Could I see this please? I'm not very computer literate so need a bit of help in this department Maybe you should patent it :rotfl:

Hi,

I just put in the amount it should have been in one column, then the amount I actually spent and from that I work out the actual amount saved and percentage amount saved.

I put in the date and supermarket also, so if I am feeling really anal I can work out how much saving by each supermarket over a period of time ....

Now should I have admitted that?:embarasse
