    I got them all sent out by Boots Parenting Club :)

    I've joined all the baby clubs I could find, and the amount of magazines, freebies and coupons you get sent is amazing :) Things for both mum and baby, usually til they're at least 1 year old but some continue for toddlers as well :)

    congratulations to your niece. If she doesn't already have a boots advantage card get her to sign up for one, she then registers for the baby club and will automatically be sent the vouchers.

    if.she is not already signed.upto topcashback, get her too. then if she buys online from boots.com, she will earn cashback in her purchases as well as the 10 boots points per £1 spent.

    Thanks all.

    I've signed up on their behalf because they are not very moneysaving, ect. So i'm going to make them a hamper style goody box with the coupons, goodies ect!!

    Fantastic idea! :) You'll get all sorts of bits, nappy samples, toiletry samples, Cow and Gate even send you a cute little cow toy :) Heinz and Cow and Gate are great for the coupons they regularly send, and the changing bag from Boots is a fab freebie that would be a great gift in a hamper :)

    I got told by the man at the checkout in Tesco yesterday that I was like someone from Extreme Couponing.

    I was so proud!

    Someone once said that to me in Asda, the young lad asked me if I looked in bins for coupons haha I said, no I'm not that bad.

    I've been using coupons for years and in the days when Mr T's accepted manufacturers coupons without buying the product I'd save £8-£10 a week, now it's not so much £2 - £3 a week generally. I keep my coupons in an envelope (ones that come with my Tesco credit card) in date order and have a flick through before I go shopping to see what I may use. When I watched extreme couponing I felt very jealous we have nothing like that here
