    Good luck to the young man.

    But, many (if not most) of his coupons are probably from manufacturers who have sent them to him in response to a letter praising the products.
    As regards printing coupons, there are not that many around - we on MSE know this.

    He doesn't appear to have caught on to glitches, and doesn't bother with green points - a newbie error.

    Still for a young man he shows enormous promise.

    No green points in Wales anymore, I miss them :(
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
  • I just read about this in the money savers arms and posted a reply about it there. I too use coupons but I only use them on things I would normally buy anyway. Ive looked around on sites and most of the coupons are for convenience foods or branded products (which even with a coupon are dearer than the shops own label price). I combine coupons with reduced Yellow stickered products and multisaves and half price offers. I have saved quite a bit without using coupons too, but as everyone states on here coupons are not that easy to come by for healthy foods. You can also get extra points ie clubcard and nectar points sometimes on certain products, there are many ways to save other than using coupons. Edited just to say, I also shop around in all the supermarkets.

    OK Jordon assuming this is you.

    Why don't you bother with green points?

    What glitches have you found?.

    Why do you purchase nappies?

    I do bother with green points, i just didnt on that shopping trip you saw. That is because i used all of my bags in the previous trip to carry things to a party, and didnt bring them back.

    I have found loads of glitches where on certain barcodes it scans in at hideously cheap prices.

    I purchased nappies because my niece was pregant and i wanted to make her a care package of things, (that were all free of course) this was one of them.
