    I went to tesco this week and saved £45.85 on my shopping with all my coupons i have saved. :j

    Goodness me! Where do you get them all from?

    I found a whole load of dumped flyers along a woodland path featuring 50p off Quaker Oat cereals whilst out walking the dog. I duly collected them up (glad that no one saw me) but have used only one at a time, not having had the confidence to hand in all 30 of them in one go!

    Had a couple of really good shops today combined total before bogofs and coupons £91.41 - multibuys and bogofs reduced it by £20.77 then seriously good use of asda/uniball/tesco/new H&B coupons took another £38.27 off and I paid £32.37 and gained 720 points - got £8 R&R'd so total paid was £24.37. £18.69 was xmas pressies so I paid £5.68 for a heap of groceries which include shampoo/toothpaste/conditioner/benylin/vitamins facial wipes bath foam etc etc.

    I've had about £15 off £65 shopping this week using the new Sainsbury's ones, which is quite good for me. I actually feel quite bad if I use too many and have only done one R&R because of that. There seems to be a point where I become uncomfortable with it. Don't know why, it's not like Tesco would do me any favours if it weren't profitable for them. Still, I have just picked up two more Asda magazines as I'm out of coupons now. :)

    Hehe, somthing similar happened to me, I was picking up some Sainsburys leaflets that the paperboy must have dumped because they had £2 off a £10 spend (ages ago, for a new store opening). I did get seen by an old couple, who said they were impressed that I was taking time to clean up the litter!

    I saved about £9 yesterday as I handed all the spare coupons I had over to the cashier in Asda (and held my breath!) She took them all, even the 25% off dog food ones (didnt buy the dog food) which came to about £1.50 so worth handing in.

    Whats the worst that can happen, they say no? Go for it...

    Ok guys here's a good one for you all
    Currently vicks sinex are on offer with £1 off in tesco stores.
    Buy 5 @£2.99 = £14.95 and 1 benylin cold and flu capsules @£1.99
    Total £16.94
    Then use x3 100 extra points when you spend £5 on cold and flu remedies
    Use x4 of the new H&B £1 off a £4 spend on healthcare products
    Then use x3 of the asda sinex coupons
    also use as many H&B 50 point coupons that you can get away with and any other voucher of your choice to the value of £1
    Result is all products for nothing with at least 316 points
    I did it this morning and it works (went thru self scan too - people behind me were gobsmacked - I told them to look at this site it would change their lives!!):D :D:D:D:D:D

    EDIT:If you buy x6 sinex and x2 benylin then use X4 extra points and x4 asda sinex vouchers and x5 £1 H&B + £1 coupon of your choice you still pay £0 but get at least 420 points
