    Is there a way to print multiple coupons on one page? I know someone did it with another coupon before, but i can't remember where I saw how to do it. I use IE and Firefox and Vista if that helps with instructions. TIA.

    I use a snipping tool to capture it then copy it to a Microsoft works/word document. You can also resize it that way, and or/copy & paste more than one ;) There are other ways to resize it, as others have posted

    if you can't afford to buy a proper refill, then maybe you shouldn't buy the dispenser in the first place? Just a thought.

    I can afford to buy refills, loads and loads in fact, but if they are trying to charge £3 for a refill (rip-off IMHO), then they will be refilled. Bit like the free/cheap razors sort of thing, try and get you to buy expensive blades afterwards.
    The actual device is pretty good and worth it at around £2 complete.................but £3 for a refill, come on. :huh:

    Got mine in Waitrose today but they only had white.They were half price at £4.99 but with my £3 coupon (well two,as I bought two) they only cost £1.99.
    Thanks for the tips on re-filling as I do think £3 for a refill,on top of new batteries,is a rip off.
  • Does anybody know if these are half price in Tesco at the moment?

    These things really are a waste of money, and more damaging to the environment, than a bar of soap. There is no conclusive evidence that bar soap is any worse than the pump soap, and by buying these contraptions you have the plastic refils and batteries.

    A bar of soap is in a simple paper wrapper, and in hospitals they use both liquid soap and alcohol liquid, as no soap is 100% effective.

    It's is far more important to wash properly, there is a correct way to do so.

    Yes at full price, but for less than £2 for a dispenser, batteries and a container of liquid soap, it has to be a bargain. No more messy soap dishes either.
    Can be re-filled with 5p substitute, which is cheaper than a bar of soap.

    You either like them, or hate them - I like them, especially at this price.

    I got mine in my local Wilkinsons today. Thank you so much for posting, I've been wanting one of these for ages :) It'll be so handy as we are decorating and I'm fed up with paint all over the normal dispenser!

    I haven't used bar soap for years as the idea of using it on my hands after someone else has had their germ ridden hands on it is pretty damn revolting.

    Do you have any idea how many germs are on a normal bar of soap?
