    As I've realised that if my purse is stolen I'd loose all sorts of things that would make my life difficult, I'm having a sort out of my handbag and downsizing to a smaller purse.

    I've dusted off an old credit card holder to hold my credit and loyalty cards.

    A small coin purse is taking my stamps and my spare keys.

    I've bought a smaller purse with just enough room for my debit card and cash. So that's everything in my purse rehomed apart from my money off coupons.

    I'm thinking of buying a small photo album, any other suggestions?
  • Not sure if this has been mentioned but if anyone has the Tesco SSM vouchers that were attached to the Tesco magazines recently then I noticed today that 750ml of Lenor is on offer at £1.50 so 50p with voucher, and Ariel 25 wash box of powder is down from £7.49 to £4 so only £3 with the voucher!!!

    There are still loads of magazines left in local store (W£st D*rringt*n)

    They've got none of the mags in the stores by me :(

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

    I have an expandable plastic file/wallet that I got from Wilko, it was about £1.50 :) It's got 12 dividers in it (one for each month) and has tabs at the top of each divider. It's just a bit bigger than a cheque book and instead of the months, I've put in shop names into the tabs. I can then put the coupons into the shop space where they are cheapest. :)

    Okay, these are the coupons that manufacturers send out when there is a problem with one of their products. These ebay people then get the coupons and just photocopy them and sell them on. DO NOT BUY COUPONS FROM EBAY. These are more than likely fake coupons and if you are caught using them you will get prosecuted.

    Sorry tried to multi quote but not sure how to on here. I can confirm this. I won some of the unilever coupons in question (the one for persil, comfort, domestos and CIF) via unilevers now defunct VIP page on Facebook. These coupons have watermarks on the back and a special type of serated edge which is very hard to copy. In addition they all have individual serial numbers on the back of the coupon. When the coupons are sent back to unilever for reimbursement there is no chance they will accept them. Xx

    Is it straightforward to use coupons in Boots and Superdrugs?

    its very very easy... infact much better than at Mr T's and Mr A's .. perhaps the coupon policy there is easier.

    Thank you. I thought I read Boots, Superdrugs and Wilkinsons were more difficult.

    I had 2 or 3 coupons I could have used in Superdrugs but thought not to.

    I have used a few coupons in my local Superdrug, they are ok now but didn't really know what to do with them at first, but they seem to be ok now.

    I have only used coupons in Boots once and to be honest, not keen on trying again, it took forever, not a very good experience. I suppose it depends on which Boots you are in and how much they know about taking coupons.

    I find Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda the best for taking coupons, the worst being Morrisons, they are terrible, but obviously these are the shops I go in, they will be different for people store to store.

    Nice idea I'll have to have a look when I go and pick up my bargain wooden patio chairs on Sunday.

    The photo album is ok, just a little too big:p
