How much do you save on your shopping using coupons?

WELSH-DRAGON_2

ha ha that was quick I have done it, found the spreadsheet program on my PC and with all the excel training courses I have done in 16 years, a few clicks and it was done.

The only bad thing is, this will highlight to my OH how much time I actually spend at Tescos LOL

I know, I was a little horrified when I realised how many actual TRIPS I had made to the supermarket!!!!!

Some of my receipts were from the same trip though ... I have no shame in breaking my shopping down into 3 or 4 lots, I always find Tesco NEVER have enough of those plastic things on their conveyor belts though.

I always feel sorry for the person behind me as there is never a divider left for them (plus the fact they have to wait extra for all the scanning to take place!).

The Health & Beauty thing for me was incredibly time consuming, so much so that I am not doing it this time. Looking for a new job instead!

Good luck with the new job

Hi,
I expect this would be answered by reading through some threads (and believing them) but can anyone tell me if the coupons I have can be used for something other than the item? If so, where?
I have: a voucher for BottleGreen sorbet from the front of a mag (£3.49). Its for use anywhere but warns I will be embarrassed if I try to use it for anything else!
£1 off any multipack in the Felix range, sent from Felix. This one says I might embarrass the retailer!
Dylon coupon (been told I can use this in Waitrose)
Bounty coupon (sent from Bounty) for free kitchen roll. Have 2 of these.
Thank you so much for any help!

Are you looking for advice, or evidence?

I saved £8 at the weekend as I had 2 x £4 booklets of luncheon vouchers that I received for doing online surveys - used them on a £12 shop in Sainsbury's Petrol Station in an emergency.

All coupons say something along the lines of embarrassment of trying to redeem against another item, but in most Tesco, Asda and Waitrose stores you can ignore that warning.

Basically, all the coupons you mentioned will scan through the tills at these stores without having to buy the item. As a beginner, I'd suggest you try and use them when doing a big shop, so chances are nobody will care whether you've bought the stuff. Also, it is the policy in most Tesco, Asda and Waitrose stores to accept varying percentages of these vouchers, so you're not doing anything dodgy!

They're not a secret. They are vouchers for £1 off so-called Quick Read books, distributed through libraries a few months ago. Welsh-Dragon also kindly posted an offer where you could get them free online - some people were sent hundreds!

The online offer is now unfortunately finished, so the only way of finding them is on Ebay or from other MSErs - or you could always see if your local library still has any.
