Morning all, and thanks to CouponWoman for all the work this week - very much appreciated.

I'm now Coupon-less-Woman, used 2 Honey Shreddies and a couple of Comfort coupons yesterday and purse is empty (cupboards not empty though).
Going to look through the list now on page 1 to see if anything takes my fancy - but actually fancy a week off. Need some cheap shower gel and toothpaste if possible.

Lynsey

Sorry your now coupon-less-woman:rotfl:

The colgate toothpaste .50p coupon is working again.

Sorry don't know of a shower gel one atm lol

''Make several visits a week'' ...... THANKFULLY I have better things to do lol

I visit T's about once a month if that with my list of hopeful bargains and am happy if I get any , one of the bargains & then just do my normal shopping online of course making the most of the supermarket special offers they have at the time which they all do ( non glitch standard bargains ;-))

Am just happy to get A bargain as its fun & a hobby , not an OBSESSION! xx

I found a voucher which means you can get 1 litre of good quality fresh milk for 49p ... I know , not the greatest offer ever , but would have suited those who don't freeze 4 litres of milk at a time BUT I changed my mind about posting it as I didn't like the feeling of knowing it could potentially have the **** taken out of it and be misused

The offer came with another small freebie as well and I know there could have potentially been a rush on..

But its okay , I know you can get 3-4 litres at the same price anyway , but this was a really good offer and included an 800g loaf of nice bread for 79p & 500g of yoghurt for 49p ( not Smart Price quality! lol )

I just didn't feel comfortable with the potential misuse so have been put off posting some deals on here I'm afraid!

The majority of us peeps only post coupons on this thread, then at least we can try and educate people about coupon use.

I would never, ever, post one on the grabbit thread as that would be the death of coupon usage due to the high volume of people looking at it and possibly abusing the coupon.

Its up to you really.

Thanks for that .. I see nothing wrong with someone popping into T's once a week after work to check on / grab a few bargains but doing the rounds every day & coming out with cratefulls from around 4 T's in the ( wide vicinity! ) 'neighbourhood' is just taking the proverbial ****! lol

I know I will be shot down but I think it is time for drastic action to safe guard our selfs against greedy people. maybe the 1st page should be locked or taken down.

If people had to search for the coupons them selfs, I do not think there would be as much abuse. When things calm down we can start again, after giving the shops a break from taking coupons. :-)

What makes me laugh is when they say something like ''I took 40 , but left 30 on the shelf for other people'' looooooool ( how kindhearted and what a totally unselfish act 'just' taking 40!!! )

( And do you REALLY need 100 jars of Sacla sauce & 300 cans of coke? LOL )

And please don't get me started on 300+ jellies ... I mean really ..

Re using pdf's

Please be sensible about using multiples of any one coupon. You can usually get away using a few at a time, but once you try and use over, say, 6-8 you are in dangerous territory.

Much better to be careful, stay under the radar, and make several visits a week getting, if your lucky, a few at a time.

Just remember, due to some people trying to use 20-50 coupons against one product at a time all stores seem to be clamping down on coupon use.

If coupons are stopped at your store you will lose out, not just today or tomorrow, but for ever, as will every other coupon user.

Once a store has changed its coupon usage policy they won't suddenly change back.

So be sensible and you will continue to be able to use coupons for years to come.

I keep getting a Colgate coupon dated July! What did I do wrong?

I wasn't going to say anything but a majority of people on here seem pretty good but 1 or 2 seem set on ruining it for everyone. Not only do those people know exacltly who they are but with their outragous posts we all now know what they're up to and who they are!

It's hard to know if i'm at fault or not. I don't think I am. I stick to the rules, I've never been told they can't take my coupons, I don't do massive 'free' shops and I only ever redeem against the product. But to be honest if we don't do something then those 1 or 2 are going to ruin it for everyone and I really can't afford that. Just trying to save money since Mum and I were made redundant.

Thanks everyone for the contributions of coupons, advice and 'banter' xx

I tried using a couple of coupons recently, and they got turned down because one looked like a photocopy, so hell knows how peeps get away with so many! I dont want to show my face in there again after that:o

I have recently found this thread and would like to thank MT CW and others who put so much effort and time into running it to help others.

I went into my Local M earlier this week with the This water voucher to be told by SA and also manager they don't take internet coupons any more.
They informed me this is due to people taking the micky and abusing the system with too many coupons.

I think this will be all supermarkets soon if this over use continues.

So as said in earlier posts I,m sure supermarkets will all stop taking internet coupons if this continues.
