I have just when had coupons bought the relevant item if I use it and hand in or scan the coupon in self service and never saved much maybe £1 if lucky if I had a few relevant coupons. Thanks

I was just reading your website have you made it, so no one can comment on it? just read but not comment?

Oh sorry I thought people could comment on it, new to using google sites - I will go and have a look and see how I can make the comments box show to others, as I can see it when I look at it.

Thanks also for giving me the meanings of the intials now at last I can understand - like being let into a secret club:T

No such luck for me finding glitch & 1p thread. Maybe I was concentrating too much on JTDs. Now my tactic has changed I no longer do as many shopping at T as I used to since they stopped taking APGs.:(:(

with you on that one. No more in and out of T on a daily basis. Now in and out of A on a daily basis with a fist full of APGs. Strange how the Asda own brands seem to taste much better than the T twaddle.:D:D and even better when they don't cost anything.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Imagine tw*tting T taking multiple pricechecks in one transaction. :eek:

:rotfl: we are not a secret club, we just forget new people reading don't know what they mean.

about your vouchers....the key to reducing your till receipt - buy items when they are on offer and use coupons, in date and valid. If you buy cleverely, you can get vouchers back from asda and tesco, that you can use on your next shopping list to reduce it again.

but the key is to not buy things just because you can get an APG or JTD back. ie, buying lots of wine and chocs, if you cannot use them or it will leave you short.

You do need to be sensible and buy what you really need, or will use, but the key is timing it right.

Or like doc and raven, spending hours reading my supermarket and comparing prices :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


like currently, on Facebook, if you like the Unilever VIP page, and do their surveys, they are letting you have vouchers, for £1 off, and you select the one you want. I printed of Comfort Concentrate x 2 and when I went to Sainsbobs (sainsburys) I used them against their £1 bottles (currently on offer), which meant I got them for free. :T On the printable coupon thread is a voucher (pdf) for 75p off this range. This means you would get them for 25p at Sainsbobs.

On twitter, if you tweet and like innocent - you can get £1.50 or £1 off innocent veg pots, sometimes you can get them for free.

There are quite a few companies on FB that are offering vouchers that give you discounts on food and drink.

Cravendale are giving away 1 l free most Fridays, but you have to be quick, as they get snatched up very quickly.

MyrtleTurtle (MT) does a shopping list on the printable coupon thread, you can use this to find where is the best place to spend coupons.

Aesop

what I would say to you, is build your store cupboard with the money off coupons (MOCS) and vouchers.

for example, when T or Mr T as we sometimes call them (Tesco) had 3 for 2 on baking stuff, I was buying Wrights Bread flour, etc, 3 for 2, and using 3 Wrights coupons fro 30p off, so that is 90p off your bill already and one item was free anyway.

when T was selling Fairy Liquid for a £1 or £1.50 etc and supersavvyme was offering the vouchers for fairy liquid at £1 off, we were stocking up on fairy liquid. I still do it now, if I see somewhere that fairy is only £1 or I get a till spit from sainsbobs for money off, and it reduces it to £1 or less, or sometimes free, I get it!

and then stash it.

I found out what the problem was I created a website instead of a blog - the comments on the pages were for editors of the site not the public. So now created a blog and put the address in my info, don't want to put it here am sure it would be against rules, a person site.
