Coupon crazy kid

Being a relative newbie I'm not sure if I can post a link? But I just watched a clip on BBC news page where a kid buys £105 worth of groceries for only £1 because he has so many coupons.

He apparently has a Facebook page where he lists the coupons etc. If its within forum rules, I can put link on

Maybe hard to do to get going but wow, what a saving
LBM.....sometime in 2013 £27,056. 10 creditors
June 20.....£7,587.....3 creditors left 72% paid

£26,200 on interest only part of mortgage (July 16)...will chip away £17,103
£49,200 repayment mortgage ( July 16) £37,764

  • to be fair, i don't support what the kid has done, because if everybody starts doing it the shops will just stop doing coupons alltogether and raise prices and make things even worse for families and people in general

    Although don't forget he had to buy all the newspapers and magazines so technically the shopping cost him a lot more than £1! But I suppose if each paper or magazine had more coupon savings than the price of the paper/mag then some may be worth buying.
