    Oh my gosh! Just got back from a shop at A's. I saved about £30 using vouchers (£69 down to £39) but it was hard work! The SA had to call a supervisor asking if it was ok to to take them, then she kept on asking if I'd brought the item, she'd already scanned the whole lot so I was having to take them back out to show her, then the till needed an over-ride as there was so many vouchers so back came the supervisor! The bloke behind me was getting so annoyed but tbh for a £30 saving, I don't really care! Going to do the APG tomorrow and see if I get some more money back too! Also picked up 2 TMF/MBG items too :)

    Great haul :D that's why I like waitrose the SA can easily and quickly scroll through what you've bought on the screen so no need to get any shopping out of bags again xx

    I've got to say it's very temping to put the coupons on top of the item on the till belt. Then the SA can take them off as they scan the item. I always try to give them the coupons first to look through but they always seem a bit reluctant in A's to do that. Just been to Mr T's to use a £1 off voucher for fairy washing up liquid from mission control, 2 50p mocs from ski and 2 50p mocs from nature valley bars and it was so much easier in there. I know there was less shopping but the SA skimmed through the mocs THEN scanned the items. Co-op did the same thing too as they've got the Huggies pull ups on offer for £2.98 atm and their potty training pack came with a £1 moc :) I do get fairy excited seeing the price before and price after now :)
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79

    For anyone with the £2 moc from Wilkinson sword hydro 5 blades, the pack of 4 is currently £8 in Mr T's but in my local one they were doing a free razor (with 2 blades in) with every pack of blades brought :)

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you for your posts on this thread. They have been helpful:

    I purchased Ambi Pur for £2 then £1 off coupon so only £1
    L'oreal eye makeup remover £2.97 buy one get one free/ Used one £2.50 coupon
    A few walkers crisps for 9p after coupon
    And a few other bits and bobs.

    I have coupons on my name and a family member's name but different surnames. Is it okay for e to use the coupons or will I get stopped? Otherwise I'll tell them to do their own shop.

    I'm not sure what to spend the L'oreal Men's, shampoo, hairstyling and cosmetics coupon on.
    Pink is so not my colour :undecided

    Hi there, I think it was only on certain hairsprays, don't think all of them were £1.25, I just bought the ones on offer to get the best deal. :D
