Hi after watching various extreme couponing episodes yesterday I thought that some of the pros on here could start publishing some ultimate shops, of how end totals have been heavily reduced with vouchers and coupons. The sharing would help others make the same lists. It would be good to get that team approach feeling like when DTD was running.
My plan for Tescos later is to spend £25.00 on kids clothing, £9.99 on the scissors that are on offer and £5.01 on milk, bread and fruit(which I need).
Firstly use my £5 off £40, then my £5 off £25 clothing, then the 5 scissors vouchers, which takes £7 off them, then the £12.00 gift card that I was sent by cs.
£11 left to pay.

Actually, after looking into this programme, like most 'reality' shows, 'extreme couponing' is not the reality at all, most stores in the US do not double coupons yet many chains featured in the show doubled coupons just for the episode someone filmed in their store-as its good publicity. They have more coupon inserts in newspapers/junk mail etc in the US but they don't have any legitimate PDF coupons as far as I can tell, and their printable coupons are pretty crap, stuff like 'save $40 if you buy 6 yoghurts' and there are roughly the same number available at any one time as in the UK. Many coupons in the US are for store offers you'd get in the UK anyway, such as buy one, get one free or 'get 2 for x amount', so them being able to combine two coupons on one product isn't all it is cracked up to be(and again this is not allowed as much as you'd think anyway-many of their coupons say strictly one coupon of any type per purchase). More concerning is the fact that counterfeit coupons are rife in the US and there have been several incidents of counterfeit coupons being used on the programme, the body that represents manufacturers who issue coupons in the US, the CIC have advised to US store chains not to allow this programme to film in their stores again as if counterfeit coupons are used, then they could be held liable. If you google 'extreme couponing fraud' its quite sickening what comes up. Now as a backlash to the programme many US store chains are introducing rules like 'only 3 coupons (of any type) per customer per day' or 'only one printable coupon per customer per day'. It is also illegal in most parts of the US to use or offer a coupon clipping service, to auction coupons, to pick up junk mail from outside peoples' homes and to 'dumpster dive' yet these things feature in many episodes of the show. xx

ETA: I meant save 40 cents when you buy 6 yoghurts; not dollars; saving $40 on 6 yoghurts would be a good deal, doh!

MT has mentioned the Supersavvyme Facebook Mission Control Coupons. I've only made 8 or so postings on Mission Control but already been given 3 £1 coupons for T*sco.
2 gave £1 off Fairy, Febreze, Ambi-Pur and Flash. Fairy is 2 bottles for £2.50 at the moment - so I got 2 large bottles for 50p.
The other coupon was for Ariel, Bold, Lenor, Fairy Non -Bio or Ambi Pur.
Lenor 1.5 litre bottles are half price at the moment in T*sco at £1.68, so I got a bottle for 68p.
This FB page definitely looks worthwhile to me.

Even better is the £1 pomegranate or apple W-U-L and the small pure (peach colour) or summer (yellow) lenor which is £1. We have a stockpile for the next 2 years! A number fot eh Flash products are £1 in A's so worth buying on it's own with coupon for a JTD.

Careful with the Mission Control coupons, don't print them if you don't think you'll use them. I hit my print limit before I could print off all the ones I wanted.

I've been on the page and posted a few things in the to-do list bit but I don't understand how to earn the coupons at all!
