  • Well Done Snowbelle

    Glad you stood your ground, I have only been couponing since September 2012 and saved myself just under £300 in 2 months I can not believe it and would never go back now. I had a major showdown in Mr T's once where the coupon I gave had an identical barcode as it was a bog standard code. I had 6 managers over from different departments even claiming my coupons were fake. :eek: I went mad and showed them Mr T coupons for Heinz frozen meals with once again the same barcode on all 5 they eventually backed down and gave me my items. The thing that still bothers me are the huffers n puffers in the queue behind me lol

    Haven't had any huffers and puffers in a while! :D I just don't look at them now, They used to really bother me, I could feel myself going red sometimes! I was behind a man yesterday in Tesco who was using one coupon, the man on the till didn't have a clue what he was doing and took absolutely ages to put it through, apologising all the time, I just kept saying it's fine it's fine. Then he got to me and again apologising for the wait, but I just said don't worry it's fine. I just thought of the times that I had been at the till and the huffers and puffers were behind me, puffing away, it's not nice. Well done on your savings! :D

    The catherdal city is on offer is t's right now at £2.50 so £1.50 with moc.
    Cheapest coussons item is in A's mild body lotion -87p after moc.

    Even though the coupons are for Sainsbury's, would they not give you a brand match for the difference if you targeted your shop well?

    Also - not sure how much these are in Morrisons, but some people have said that they're accepting other supermarket's coupons in some stores :)
    I have voucher codes for free places in the Cardiff Half Marathon 2017. PM me for details :)

  • Oh yeah I had two people move their stuff over to the next till yesterday....but I'm not bothered it was quiet anyway and they had lots of tills open.
    I find people will huff & puff at anything now as people have no patience at all.
    Let them carry on, it's me thats saving money;)
