  • Watched the fab penny pinching programme on channel 4 last night and was inspired by Judith who seems to do all her weekly shop with vouchers. I want to know where on earth does she get them all from?? for instance she had vouchers for bread and had loads. Does anyone know where to get vouchers that i can use in the supermarkets.

    Hi All,

    Did any of you watch Channel 4's Ultimate Penny Pinchers?

    There was a woman on there who had lots of supermarket vouchers she used to reduce her shopping.

    Where do you find these vouchers? The ones I find are only a few pence off things I never buy, is there a tactic to this? Can anyone tell me if its worthwhile?

    You can find the coupons right on MSE HERE - read the 1st page and there is actually a shopping list showing where to combine coupons with the best prices for maximum effect - sometime free and sometimes they actually pay you to take the stuff away.

    Is it worthwhile?? I'm a newbie really, only 4 months or so and I've saved hundreds of pounds and have stock in cupboards now to last a year with some stuff, especially on household goods - you decide if it's worth it. ;)

    Good luck.

    How do you subscribe? Sounds like it takes a lot of time though if you really get into it!

  • on the drop down menu where it says notifications - underneath posts
  • :T I completely agree with Lynsey, it's totally worth while using vouchers! I've paid about 50% of what I usually paid for every shop I've done since checking out (and researching) vouchers here - takes a bit of time but is a great way to save loads of money. Check out the thread with the coupons here on MSE https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3628257
    Good luck and happy couponing!:j
    P.S. Careful coz it's absolutely addictive! :o XxX
