My Unilever VIP account went a bit doolally today and started acting like I just joined it so I did all the surveys again I thought I'd be able to print my thanks for joining £1 coupon again but it said already claimed when I clicked on it. Anyway I then joined under two of my family's email addresses just to get the £1 coupons again, may as well since it is going away and its more legit than the 'hack' someone mentioned. There were £4 worth of coupons that didn't print or there was some type of error so I only printed £4 worth to make up for that. I have only got a couple of MOCs and one £10 tesco gift card from it all the months I was a member; so I hope they replace it with a rip off off SSM mission control! I am really feeling the coupon drought right now. xx

i saw the weird unilever recently and yes there is a bit off a coupon drought but i hope unilever come back with something even better than ssm.

Hi I am a new to this can you tell me what sites you use to get your coupons if you cant mention , please send me a pm, I would also love to see the pictures of your stock piles, I am trying to clear my debts and am wanting to drastically cut my grocery bill to give me more money for the debts, I get freebies sometimes and I get coupons with them, I watched a few of the american extreme couponing programmes I was amazed, I want to have a go at this, so any advice would be very much appreciated thankyou.:)

The coupons printed with 'personalised Internet coupon' as the name, I won't be using mine now. However since they are closing the FB page I am going to quickly rejoin it with OHs account just to get the MOCs that are there. I don't think at this stage unilever will really be too bothered about checking if people are using several accounts from one household xx

nothing wrong with coupons that say personalised internet coupon in the name.

No there isn't I know, if you don't log into BiS or McCain they say this on them too. It's just a) someone was asking whose name they print with and b) I Said I won't be using mine now because I just felt it was a bit shady, nothing to do with name on coupon. I've managed to legitimately get several £1 coupons from unilever VIP since direct from the app and will be using those instead xx

Hi and welcome! Just wanted to say take the US extreme couponing show with a massive pinch of salt, it is very contrived and most of the episodes the store featured has set up offers they don't normally have on just for the camera. Also the laws on auctioning/selling coupons, getting coupons out of newspapers left in dumpsters or on the sidewalk etc are far stricter than in the UK and people over there have been prosecuted for doing these things, yet the show promotes these activities as a good thing to do. There have also been several episodes where counterfeit coupons have been used and the organisation who represent manufacturers where coupon issuing is concerned have issued a statement urging stores to have nothing to do with the show. I used to like the show but it makes me sick watching it now. Coupon policies were stricter in the US than they appeared on the show to begin with but now stores are really clamping down, some chains in the US have even introduced rules like only one coupon of each type per customer per day xx

Well I do feel good about the fact I didn't scam unilever now by using those dodgy vouchers; as I just got an email saying I won 2 months supply of unilever products from the final draw on unilever VIP, woot woot! :rotfl:xx

Hi am new to the forum and unsure where to post a question?

I am trying to find out where I can find coupons for actual food, I have just started couponing a few days ago and can only find coupons for cleaning products rather than actual food?

Where am I going wrong? Many thanks in advance and apologies for posting the wrong place!!

Was able to buy in tesco yesterday using 50p coupon and it was on introductory offer of £1.24 I got for 74p! The offer ended yesterday though, but still managed to get for the same price as yesterday as they had forgotten to take down the half price offer sign on the shelf!!

Have saved £20 on shopping this week using coupons but am struggling to find aany actual food coupons, am I missing something? Have been using SSM, BIS, and the ones that show up on google, any tips would be great as I would like to show friends and family that I can save one normal shopping bits! Many thanks!!
