I got £12 off a £40 shop today using all my smaller coupons. It was very annoying having so many 20p coupons that I thought I'd have a clear out before 2007! Happy New Year everybody, and hears to a great 2007! Bring on the coupons!!!

Where do you all get your vouchers from? My printer is on the blink so I can't print off the internet ones. I see on Ebay people selling huge amounts of them? I've tried emailing companies and asking for them but haven't had any success so far.

I get mine from several places:

eBay (check they're in date, not store specific and not copies/internet prints)
Newspapers (see today's Newspaper thread, go & buy several copies)
Magazines (see MBN's first post in her Magazine Offers thread on this board)
Buying products with coupons on packaging (Cereals, Daz washing powder)
Swapping with friends on forums, to make your stash more varied
National Childbirth Trust 'savings chequebooks' given out at nearly-new sales
Internet, prints & signing up for newsletters online where coupons are offered
Somerfield/Asda free magazines if you have the balls to offer these at Tesco!

I didn't manage to use all my QuickReads (bought cheaply on eBay as I missed the mail-out) and although they would still scan I chucked out the last few as they had expired (and I have a waiting coupon stash to take me through to the Spring anyway).

Finished the year well with an evening shop, young lad on the till was happy to scan all in my purse, which was over £50-worth including a few of the Quick-Reads and Somerfield £5 off coupons, as well as 'normal' ones. Paid just £2!

Hi, Im new to this site but am loving it! I've been a coupon queen for years now, i suppose it helps working for tesco. During my skint univerisity years, i would chat to customers - like myself - that collect vast amounts of coupons from various places.
Along with my staff discount (10%) i must save on average 30%, although it does depend on the cashier.
I find ebay very useful for coupons. But the best places i find are fayres and food shows. Such as BBC good food show and town and country fayres. There are loads of food and household goods companies at these places either handing out literature or samples with coupons on. I always find its best to aim to pay for your entrance ticket with the amount of coupons you collect. Unattended stands are great! Grab as many as you can, obviously leaving a few (can't be too greedy ;-) !)

I do it slightly differently in that I go to Waitrose approx 3 times a week and use a smaller amount of coupons each time I go. I also don't buy too much each time so that the % saving is usually around 50%. If I can continue this for 2007 that's a saving of around £75 per month!

3 times a week ? I've been hitting tesco's three times a day recently !!!!! Only just found out about these threads and newspaper coupons so got a bit carried away and had too many coupons to use before the expiry date. my cupboards are bursting and my freezer too , shouldnt need to go shopping for a while but i fear i've become a bit addicted !!!!!!!
Oh and have got birthday/xmas pressies (in the knock down price 3 for 2 promo) for probably a year too for all the parties my kids go to.
