My Tesco's are great for coupons, but I always make sure I buy the correct products - however my local Morrisons are like the Spanish Inquisition, i've stopped going there now, I did get a good haul of Sacla sauces though when they were on offer for 99p and I had the £1 vouchers! Im actually going to invest in a printer as I can't get the 'coupon installer' on my work PC so miss out on lots of discounts, i'm sure it will pay dividends with the money I will save!

i love love love extreme couponing fab show ... they should do a show like that for the uk ... but it doesnt seem to work here, coupons dont seem to be that readily available in newspapers/marketing leaflets ect, and the one coupon per transaction rule ... which they obviously dont have in america considering all the bulk items they buy on the show

did anyone watch 'the ultimate guide to penny pinching' with the lady judith with the coupons?

my new years resolution is to get a printer to get more coupons xx

Thanks for the heads up, I did wonder after I had posted

yes you can which is why you only print what you know you'll use
that and have a print that has cheap cartridges
vouchers from paid surveys usually pay for my ink

I'm currently in the USA, and have yet to find a supermarket that allows coupons to be used like on that programme. Coupons are limited in use and rarely doubled in face value, and more often than not, there are better offers on display on the shelves.

One thing they don't tell you is how much the shopper spends buying the newspapers, how much goes on the 'clipping services', and how much is spent on multiple computers so they can print out the coupons.

The other thing is, like in the UK, you rarely get coupons for anything you need. They seem to buy stuff because they have a coupon...but if they've spent $$$ on the coupon service, surely that means they're out of pocket. As for getting coupons for anything vaguely healthy; no chance. You're fine if you want to live on Mac 'n Cheese, or the cereal that would put you into a diabetic coma, but it doesn't help you out on unprocessed, basic ingredient, 'regular food'.
