Its on channel 125. They repeat the same episodes a lot which is annoying :mad:.

Even more annoying that we can't get the same savings in the UK!!!

That's why I've been amazed at that boy in the daily mail recently, couponing for his mum. I used to do it alot but The last time l looked the coupons were rubbish!

Watched this earlier and wondered where the hell they get all those vouchers :eek:

They're has been some controversy regarding some of the couponing, at least one was proved to using photocopied vouchers and had to pay the store for the 408 free toilet rolls.

They use copied and fraudulently obtained coupons.

In one episode to get the 4 coupons for free washing powder you had to buy a washing machine. The person had 200 coupons which meant they had to buy 50 washing machines to get them in a legitimate way.

In another episode the coupon terms on one are strictly one per transaction. The store accepted as many as were presented.

In another episode the participant was using coupons against products not on the coupon. i.e instead of buying the larger version of the product as specified they were using them against the smallest and therefore cheapest version of the product and the coupon was accepted.

It is possible to get the percentage off savings in this country but usually only on 1 product at a time. I have previously purchased washing powder for 4p before....I thought it was great. I have also taken advantage of Boots offers (combined BOGOF's and B2G1F-you buy 1 and get 5 free then use a money off coupon for the 1 you do pay for) and therefore get paid to take stuff away.

Me too because if you look at the photo of his receipt, it shows coupons that are say £6/7, but the highest value product he bought was say £5.

When I worked at a supermarket we had to check the customer had bought each item (and some idiotic people used to get mad with me when I used to say 'No sorry you cant use a £3 off ice cream coupon if you're only buying fruit and veg...'). I know some supermarkets accept more coupons but still. Plus in the US they seem to do this thing where they take double the discount off which we don't do here.

I know on the US show they also download coupons off websites which we don't really have here either, at least not to the same extent.

Same things apply here....newspapers have coupons regularly and in store magazines from the supermarkets have cut out coupons and the same with online they have P&G coupons there and they are on http://www.pgeveryday.com/tag/coupon . Ours in the UK are on https://www.supersavvyme.com

If yu want more coupons ask the manufacturer. I regularly get Ribena coupons posted to me for £1 or more off Ribena. Buy it when it's cheap (half price) and it comes to almost nothing when used with a X amount off X amount of shopping coupon.

Did you send the Ribena company a letter like the boy in the story does?

I have found a couple of coupon websites here but not as many as they seem to have in the US where they can print so many off they have folders alphabetised of them!
