Money off coupon 'chat' thread

mhoc

2 options

Just get 2 a plus another item and take them through the self scan, should be Ok. My store has a limit of 2 MOCS before the SSS has to come and help you.

Or if you have lots of shopping and have several different MOCs to use up and extra points vouchers etc you might try getting maybe 3 or 4 if you are feeling brave and there are nice till boys on

Off to Mr S this evening to get some handwash - not used the coupons yet and wondered if i should expect an argument?!

Thought about going through the SS but not sure if the coupons will need SA approval.

Any advice would be appreciated, I am a couponing newbie and not too sure how coupon friendly the world is lol. xx

When I used my coupon (when it first came out) it didn't scan and had to be put in manually by the SA. I have also heard other people say the same thing so I' not sure going through the self scan would help.

i'm thinking SS and then repeat!! lol

i do have a nice coupon pile to annoy them with tho so i'm guessing they probably wont bat an eyelid at the handwash ones if i go to a checkout.

good to know there's a 2 coupon freedom as SS tho, thankyou xx

With palmolive coupon I just went to the nice helpful SA who uses coupons herself; but had she not been there I had the article on this is money about the coupons still being valid and being a £1 off coupon according to the barcode and T&C bookmarked on my phone browser; just in case. Different S have different settings on their SS till; I haven't tried it but my OH says the ones around here will scan only one coupon (regardless of value) before it requires the SSS to come and override them xx

According to this article; valassis who process coupons for companies including this one; say it is still valid until it expires if you downloaded the original PDF when it was still available. From other similar cases valassis normally side with the company and can do something to make a coupon blocked on the till system in supermarkets; so the fact they are saying this one is still fine and they won't be doing anything, speaks volumes. Nice SA at my local S told me they were told to accept these and scan at £1 or the value of the product (as it was 87p so less than value of the coupon) xx
