Money off coupon 'chat' thread

In_Martin_We_Trust

I'm very surprised that people on here dont know what a womble is. Wombles make use of things that the every day folk throw away.
Recycling or upcycling is the same thing so too as is buying stuff from a charity shop.
I must have missed the lager coupons in the mag i got but never mind i did the same thing as the person before. just rip the coupons out. bad i know.

ok,
i only suggested other thread to help you get an answer
as this thread is mainly chat about coupon use not codes

I posted it here because I am concerned about all codes. I don't know if Shop Direct are stricter than other retailers/merchants?

I tend to avoid Tesco ones as most of them appear to be for first orders or one time/person specific.

Had a bit of fun in Wilkinson's this morning with the 50p off Dettol handwash vouchers. Firstly the sa had to check that it could be used on any of them (there's a photo of the white moisture one on the moc), then it scanned at £2 instead of the £1 on the sel. We trapsed to the aisle so I could show her. In the end I got my 2 Dettol cleanse handwashes for 50p each, but boy it was hard work!

not sure what answer you are looking for?

people are supposed to post legitimate codes that can be used by anyone and are supposed to post their source. But as we all know, this is not always the case.

I suppose it really is upto you whether or not you choose to use a code, I suppose the best way to do it, if they state a source, then use it, if not, don't.

NEW COUPONS


found this in elite 11+ ( thanks to msgoggins)

you can print each page ( no car so can't try printed ones myself) magazine also available in stores
http://www.mumssurvivalguides.co.uk/
mums survival guides magazine (online version)
page 10 25p off pork farm exp 31/8/12
page 23 50p off warburtons gluten free breads exp 31/8
page 39 40p off greens baking exp. 31/12/12

print button at top of mag on tool bar
select page range & print

first two are of no use to me but the Green's baking one looks to be good as it seems to be able to be used on any Green's product as it doesn't specify any exceptions, and many of them are only about 60p anyway (Cheesecake mix is currently only 65p in Waitrose). I did print it but the lame thing is there is no option to download as PDF so you have to print the whole page at full size. I printed it on the mono laser printer and it looked a bit shifty so will print a couple out when my new colour ink cartridges arrive in the next few days. Another thing to note is it is only one per transaction and it says in the retailer t&C they have to make sure that this is the case xx

I went to Mr T's tonight. I had a pile of vouchers that I had cross referenced with my supermarket to get the best deal. I've got other ones to use in As and Ss next week. I think the SA guy was quite new as "he's never seen so many vouchers in one go!", I told him to watch Extreme Couponing! He had to get the checkout manager to come over to scan the coupons in as they weren't working for him, she did it fine although she kept asking whether I'd bought this item and 2 of this item, yes, yes, yes! I even started to point them out on the receipt for them! Eventually everything went through (I told them they were valid!). Got an £80 shop down to £55 and got 2 free l'oreal men's roll ons (plus an extra 40p off the rest of shop), nearly free l'oreal facial scrub and wash (they were £2.63 so only 13p after the mocs) and a free 1001 carpet freshener spay with a newspaper voucher. All in all a good shop as my trolley was full :-)

i printed them off but the coupons are so small and at the bottom of the pages so its the last thing to print. i did them in b&w but its a lot of wasted ink and paper.

i have managed to print them all smaller by reducing the page size in the printer options (i wouldnt go past 70%) but also you could use onenote to clip the coupon and just print that. i don't see how to avoid all the paper wastage. at least its scrap paper thats already been used once though so its not so bad.

the sa in w accepted all 4 greens coupons no problem as well as a honey shreddies one coz they have it on offer. s has all the rest.

Hi,

There are lots of coupons on ebay which seem to good to be true.

Am I right in thinking that it is not illegal to sell them on ebay but it is illegal to use them in supermarkets?

Thanks, Helen

hi helen

firstly i'd say be careful of buying coupons on ebay as some aren't genuine but copies of the original

you can sell them on ebay, prefer not to myself.
but as long as its a genuine/original coupon then they are ok to use in supermarkets
