It depends on exactly what coupons she was using, as some are limited to one per transaction, some one per product, other 'safe' coupons which will only print twice. It looked like she used a lot of coupons but without seeing them individually it would be hard to comment. A haul like that would certainly draw attention thou.

Read the t&c's on any coupon you find, and as long as you stick to them you should be ok.
hth x

I think a lot of that was done for effect & probably not even shot in one take she was using a lot of coupons which it didn't even look as though she had the products amongst other things

off topic alert - (even though im not sure what on-topic actually is on this thread. lol)

Does anyone know if banks can charge you for going over your overdraft, if it was over draftcharges that made you go over it in the first place?? -

does that even make sense?? hahaha

yes they can and will, and if u dont get balance down below od limit they will cut your od limit.

hal charge flat rate £1 per day over drawn stay under od limit, then u can look @ £25 charges

True, I think she did a good enough job of that herself. I can't say I spotted any cyber bullying though I was concerned for you in school today in case your ex-mates took the proverbial because of you and your family being on TV.

So which one were you? The one who was allowed the shower :j or the one who didn't like the pizza crust stuffing that wasn't exactly a big secret going by the packaging (ohhhh did you get it free in the end?).

come on guys this is verging on bullying again and he is just i kid.

words like "trust me" are not right these are just your opinions but don't make what you say right.

if you don;t have anything nice to say leave him alone, even if he did have a rough time at school or didn't you adding things like" were you the one........................." this is school yard bullying from a bunch of adults to a kid.

not :cool::cool::cool: so be careful how you phrase your opinions to him and is it really necessary is it making you feel better for saying these things.

As far as I see it, the parts where she was taking the pee, as you put it are:
That she seemed to be using large numbers of certain vouchers of which you are only allowed to print off 1 per person. OK so maybe her hubby and boys got them too, but that's only 4...
Her pile of Dove deodorants, which included varieties other than the beauty finish which was the only variety the coupon was valid for.
The way that she was going to falsly claim that her son didn't like the pizza so she could get a refund.
The way she took money from the charity fund as well as not paying for her lunch.

And the biggie for me I'm afraid: The fact that for the price of 15 mins of fame she has alerted the supermarkets to the fact that extreme couponing is kind of possible over here and might just see Tesco putting a restriction on the number of/types of coupons we all will be able to use in the future.

thanks for your reply.
looks like i will just have to read all the T&C on the coupons to double check everything... ive only every done a couple of coupons in the past, but if it works out beneficial, then i recon its worth it.

I didnt catch all the programme like i said... but i think its taking a bit far by taking money off charities!!!! shocked by that....

as for the extreme couponing... i dont see anything wrong with it.... as long as you use the coupons in the correct way, follow the T&C, buy the correct product etc....... Tescos cant stop that!
i think if they did limit how many coupons you can use per transaction... i would just ask the SA to put it through in seperate transactions...... i dont think im the only person to think this too?.. -

I stood up to quick and went a bit faint, cue me tripping over my own feet several times, blacking out as i fell through the kitchen floor, which i hit with a mighty thud and a massive crunch apparantly.

I only got up so quick because DF was moaning he couldnt find any chocolate, we have a cupboard over flowing with the stuff FGS.

So he rushed me to hospital, in absolute agony after he had to cut my boot and sock off, so we could see what was going on.

Had an xray and its NOT broken, I now have an egg sized mass attached to my foot, it is severely bruised, but I have to rest for a week, NOT put any weight on it, keep it elevated and take loads of pain relief. So NO tesco for me for the next week or 2, cant even drive the car. On the plus side, i will be pampered as I cant walk, I can hop but its so painful.

Stupid Xray woman asked me is anyone had caught it on video as she'd love to watch it on youtube, I was not impressed.

I have never been in so much pain in my life.

Ouch!!! that sounds really bad, I hope it heals quickly for you xxx

Just one question, did you see the x ray at all?

The only reason i'm asking is not to be funny but my DD who is 12 fell last week in dance class in school, really hurt her foot, can not put any weight on it and was in total agony, my OH took her to A&E and they did x ray and she was see by the nurse practitioner, was told it wasnt broken just soft tissue damage and take pain killers and walk on it, otherwise it would get stiff and feel worse.
So a few days at home and she still cant walk on it, and really swollen and in pain so Tuesday we took her back to A&E and were told ohh sorry someone made a mistake she has actually broken 2 bones in her foot!!!:eek:
The senior consultant was very sorry for the mistake and showed up the x ray and even we coukd see it plain as day and i dont really know what i'm looking for!

anyway she's now in a plaster cast up to her knee.
I feel so guilty for nagging her to walk on it now
i know our case might be a one off but it makes you think...
So please if its no better soon, get it looked at again xxx

While I welcome your sage view point Morledge, James did come on here ranting that he could get us all in trouble bla bla so people just stood their ground and refused to let him dictate to us.

With hindsight telling him to "shut up and go to bed" probably was a bit harsh.

This has happened to me and i just called them and explained it was a mistake and they would not charge me this time as a "goodwill gesture"
Think i've done it 3 times now

Nahteb20 - Its not a 1 off...... my OH went with a hurting knee the other week..... they said it was his hamstring......

still in pain 2 days later so HAD to go back to a and e.... said it was just swollen... nothing wrong..

called him up a week later - turns out that a consultant re-checked his xray and said that it was a serious problem and he had to go fr an emergency MRI scan.... has to have an Operation in January.... only reason its taken so long is the fact that we wouldnt manage if he was in a wheelchair atm with me being preggers. xx

seems like its a common mistake
