Got the new Glamour magazine this morning with free bag. It comes in pink with silver spots, black with silver spots or silver with silver spots.

Oh, and there's also a card on the front cover for a free trial size mascara from Estee Lauder.

Thanks for the tip! Where do you go to pick up the mascara?

Mrs T, (you're not THE Mrs T are you? I thought your pension'd have been well big enough without the need for frequenting MSE :rotfl: as manda says, cross that one off your list and move on.

I often, when off out for the day, consult my store finder and look for wheichever tesco/waitrose/asdas are in the area. I happily walk in them and try a shop. if I get knocked back, they dont know me, and I just say fine, void the shopping off, if they take em bingo! Don't be disheartened. I went in one tesco on the way to a hol last yr, and girl refused ONE coupon, called supervisor, who said, when i showed him the tesco HO e mail about coupon acceptance "Never heard of that; we dont do it here"

On way home was armed with coupons as there'd been 3 big value ones in daily mail that week and so many kind people had left their copies lying around and me being so tidy, I had to take them away.

Called at same tesco, some 4 days later and young girl happily scanned all the coupons!!

Mind boggling, but there you go.

Boots, Debenhams or any other store/department store with an Estee Lauder counter. I tried House of Fraser last night, but they hadn't had them in yet.

I bought Kitchen Garden magazine last night in Tesco, and it came with 10 packs of Mr Fothergill's vegetable seeds free.

The magazine is around £3.40, but each packet of seeds is worth an average of £1.50 - bargin.

Saw the same magazine in my local newsagents this morning, but no free seeds, so maybe it is just a Tesco offer?

Well folks

I am just new to this coupon thingy and I tried It for the first time today at the self service counters. I started scanning some vouchers for money off my shopping without having buying the products, and unfortunately the asda assistant came up to me and asked if i was actually buying the products, I said no and she told me that I couldnt do that. I said why not and she said you had to buy the product and went and got her supervisor.

The supervisor said the same and told me they had an email they were not allowed to accept them without buying the product, so I asked for my coupons back (i know probably a bit cheeky) She then said she couldnt do that and that she would allow me to have the money off this time but not to do it again. So still managed to get £5.50 off my shopping, but a bit saddened that I wont be able to do it again.

Aw dear ! I wouldn't use the self scan for coupons in Asda, they seem really strict on coupon use/abuse on there. But, I've used coupons lots of times in Asda at the tills, their policy is upto 10% of your bill in MOcs if you haven't bought the products, so thats what I do....usually slightly over cos the SA's don't seem to notice if its just over 10% :T . I always ask if I can use coupons, and mention that I normally shop in a different supermarket chain - the rivalry seems to help and they can't wait to tell me I can use coupons with them !

Tescos is a different kettle of fish ! Totally depends on which sales assistant you get - some won't take any Mocs, some will allow 10%, 30 %, one of each, as many as you want...take your pick !

Anyhoo - back on topic - I was in WH Smith last night looking for stray P&B magazines and asked the SA - she back-ordered 3 for me at no extra cost. They are going to ring me when they arrive and I can collect them.....just praying they have the coupon insert with them !

I used this in my local Waitrose this week, together with the coupon for 30p off voucher in Waitrose Food Illustrated March 2008. They ended up paying me! They have an offer in store buy 2 save 50p (I think) so buy two at 79p each = £1.58 minus 50p = £1.08. The free voucher took off 89p = 19p minus 30p with other voucher = -11p for me:T. Hope this helps someone else. (I get the Good Food magazine as a Christmas present every year and WFI free as a Partnership Card holder.)

Re: the free Estee Lauder mascara w/Glamour magazine

I just bought this, and in small print at the bottom of the card for the mascara, it says you can get the free mascara FOLLOWING a free makeover. I have no interest in a makeover; do you know if you can get the mascara without all the rest?
