    Go to the Freebies board and request a few samples, they generally come with vouchers, and then once you're on their database, they'll send you them periodically.

    Good ones to sign up for are:

    Original source (30p with each sample sent)
    Pampers (£4)
    L'Oreal (they seem quite good recently have had about £8 or so)
    Listerine (50p)
    HiPP (Baby food) (£2 or so)
    Organix (£2)

    Also - always check products that you buy, often the vouchers are on the boxes, so just cut out for your next shop.

    Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."

    I send e-mails complimenting them on their products, and asking them if they have any free samples or vouchers so I can try the rest of their product range. I have had some pretty good responses - if you don't ask, you don't get!! Have a look at the Great Voucher Hunt thread on here, it will give you lots of ideas.

    Also, as someone has said, send for free samples, they often come with vouchers.

    If you register on a company's website for newsletters, you get on a circulation list and sometimes get vouchers that way.

    Also, many branches of Tesco and Asda take vouchers from the other's stores. I alternate between Tesco and Asda, pick up their magazines and use the vouchers when I go to the other store. Sadly, neither Tesco or Asda will take Somerfield vouchers round here.... ah well, you can't win 'em all!!!!

    Good luck! :T

    Don't forget to ask around for old magazines to be passed on to you. There are loads of ladies at my work who get 'Take a Break' etc.. so I've been spreading the word to leave them to be passed on. I also found a magazine in the bin yesterday which contained a 50p off voucher. I may start looking in train station bins! :D

    Also, next time you go to the Doctors or dentists, take a pair of scissors with you and rifle through all the womens mags!

    organix send coupons our regularly too :-)

    must admit i buy mine off ebay sometimes if i don't have many coupons left in my stash. i don't mind paying for coupons, i pay around £2 for £5 worth of coupons, sometimes more. i know i can always save 10% at the checkout, so if i get £5 off a £50 spend and i've paid £2 for the coupons i'm still saving £3.
    52% tight
