I do not consume television shows limited by geography or time.

TLC made 12 episodes in 1 season of Extreme Couponing. I've watched all 12.

Edit: I have just learnt they've started filming season 2. http://www.aoltv.com/2011/06/06/extreme-couponing-season-2/ ready to debut in September 2011. What you're watching on TV now is oooooold.


I completed watching everything they've so far made (all of season 1) six months ago.

Perhaps you need to get with the program?

Just trying to helpful to those who like me are Not with the program.No need for your comment of "perhaps you need to get with the program" I don't post very often because some people are not interested in people being helpful.

My darling I'm so sorry I read that back and realised it could have sounded rude. I was joking because we were talking about a TV Program and I meant it in terms of "getting" with the TV program.

Pls don't think I'm not thankful for your help x

I've looked on the Tesco AND Asda websites and can't find a document for their voucher/coupon policies. Do UK stores not have such a thing as the US stores do?

I spent time in the us a few years back and we regularly got books of coupons with our mail - in fact weekly if not daily not to mention the ones you could pick up at stores - coupon use is definitely huge in america.

I have got quite adept at reducing costs with the use of vouchers, codes and topcashback etc but for groceries it is less successful as the coupons tend not for things I would use but do hold out for the newspaper ones and stock up on non perishables to make the total spend required

i use the Approved food website, along with a couple of friends, we more or less order fortnightly, occasionally weekly (when they had lots of olives of offer!!) we save LOADS there and no coupons needed. I seem to miss the coupons or produce them after their use by date lol..maybe i should get more organised ;p

Not quite coupons but still a bargin!
Through Tesco Direct I managed to get a Whirlpool washing machine down from £209 to £111 with free delivery.
There was an offer for £45 off the model taking it down to £164, then i managed to get it down to £136 using my clubcard vouchers. Delivery was free on items over £200, so surprisingly they gave me this free due to the original price being £209.
After i paid i noticed an offer for £25 off electric goods over £200. Slightly annoyed i missed this i phoned Tesco to try my luck and to my surprise they refunded £25 to my credit card straight away, without any argument.
I was rather chuffed with myself and very impressed with Tesco Direct. To save connection costs i braved doing it myself: no leaks yet!!
:rotfl:

I meant *others* - I'm sure you know what you're doing and have made your choice accordingly, no_choice_now!

With new products, tend to find a voucher in mag or paper for money off. And the supermarket will have it on a special intro price. So you end up paying very little for it.
