How odd!

BTW OH just went to tesco and said some of the pantene coupons were coming up as not valid yet and valid from some point in the future (he said the lady showed them coming up with a specific valid from date on the screen but he can't remember what the date was), I presume he means the SSM ones that came from Mission control but one of the pantene coupons I gave him was from the pack with the samples of pantene that SSM have been giving out for a while; either way neither of them have a valid from date only an expiry one-so not good :mad:

I used some that I got with the samples this week and a till spit for pantene both without problems in T's. I still have the one from mission control for shampoo nezt week, will let you know what happens.

OH seems unsure which one it was as she gave back all the pantene ones, grr. Do let me know if the mission control ones work for you, it could just be an error I suppose. UPDATE: he came back with 9 coupons, 2 of which he forgot to hand over the others he said wouldn't scan at all including an oral-b coupon which did work the other day and several others that I know work so maybe their system went awry or the SA accidentally did something to mess up the scanning in but he didn't kick up much protest and still bought those items anyway. OH is now banned from couponing shopping LOL

hi, i am just new to all this couponing business and TBH i dont have a clue where to find the coupons. i watched a programme last night where a woman had a huge stack of coupons in her hand and pad only £5ish for a £65 shop. where do people get all these coupons? TIA and apologies if there is another thread where i should be posting.

I know the programme you mean and some of the coupons she had handfuls of were strictly 1 or 2 per customer so not sure how she got so many copies, I would imagine printing them out under different fb accounts and off different computers; doing this is a bit 'iffy' and while a lot of people get away with it others have had their facebook accounts deleted or even been banned from using coupons issued by certain printable coupon companies, not worth it IMHO. Also in the programme she was using Sainsbury's vouchers/coupons in Tesco this is no longer allowed. You would often find that coupons for Sainsbury's had a higher value than the same coupon if you opted to print it for Tesco but in Tesco stuff would be reduced more. The printable money off thread

has all the currently available coupons plus offers they can be combined with. While saving 80-90% off your shopping is not really feasible in the UK you can save 50% plus if you combine offers with coupons, sometimes quite a bit more if the offers on are really good and you have coupons of a decent value. For example a certain nappy company was giving out £4 coupons recently (I believe they still are) and it allowed us to print 3 of them, the nappies were reduced to £4.28 in Sainsbury's, so 28p. The current supersavvyme app on facebook is really good as most of the coupons it gives out are very open ended in terms of product type and size, so you are not as limited and so you can make huge savings-we got some varieties of fairy and flash for free using these because these products were reduced to £1. Anyway the FAQ in that thread explains all.

thank you that is a great help. it did seem quite unrealistic that people could save SOOO much from coupons, thanks for clarifying that. will go and see what i can find on supersavvy me app.

I believe it is one of the vouchers available after you have successfully completed tasks on Facebook's supersavvme application.

Okay I must be completely thick. I waded my way through mission control etc got myself a stash of coupons. Now trying to do my shopping list. but many of you have mentioned getting Comfort pure on these vouchers but not one of my 33 vouchers mentions comfort. Lots of fairy,bold, ariel, flash, lenor, ambi pur and Fabreeze. Can anyone point me the direction of the comfort 'cos i really like the smell of it.

Thanks

if you read people's comments, some of them have vouchers as a post too.
