The ELITE. The very best of everything :)

My local store has stopped taking printed coupons as of today, and clamped down on every till with an iron fist. I had a very nice chat with the manager who said the reason was someone in the area has been using coupons that scan £1 off a time, when they have not been buying the products. I didn't properly understand her at first, but she said there is a genuine re-printable coupon that scans, but doesn't ask if they have brought the product. Apparently over £200+ of them have been used in the past week!

They will now only allow coupons that are stores own, or are traceable - the smart type ones. Even then they need a manager to check each coupon.

There's a huge increase in couponers since its been so publicized on TV facebook and I feel this is a huge knock to people who were genuinely trying to save a few pence each week!

I still got my J2o at half price, so not to moan too much.

looks like I am doing a round trip collecting coke zero 2lt and carling zest as I go for msl. adding in a single carling in sainsbobs.
Looking at my friday finest shop I need to buy my meal deals seperately for coupons to work as did use 3 x £2 ones just dont know which ones:eek:

I know savvy pointed out coke 24 packs were down to £5 earlier this year but that was for a total of 3 weeks so I think £7 is ok for fuel as I want to use a £4 wys as well and can put coke with each meal deal.

Contenplating a small chest freezer for garage (never thought I would say that as only got fridge freezer last year coping with only freezer box before).
Only good ideas on purchase of freezer?

Got some chefs pledge and l'oreal to print then going to take a look at ssm to see what is around.

Does anyone remember who the 9 roll velvet compared to please. As long as it is not sainsbob I can put in coke shop as no one else stocks the 24 pk A do a 30 pack instead.

My local Sainsbobs, is like this, will not accept any voucher of any kind even if the safe type, just point blank no. So annoying when they are personalised to you to use in a certain store.

WishI'dReadSooner

Waited about 20 mins today for Asda to decide AT LAST that I could use my Dr Oetker vouchers - was initially saying could just use 1 - we never buy in 1's. Pretty peeved as had other frozen stuff too. Took about 4-5 people to eventually decide they could be used - told them they were smart coupons all different with my name & postcode on - apparently they have been done with quite a few coupons lately - probably the fake ones off ebay?

Did 2 shops the 2nd a Sainsbury's J2O one results in a few minutes. Think the lady was so embarrassed with me waiting so long she took the J2O even though they didn't scan.

Seems like there are a LOT of fakes around at the moment & they are tightening up. I suppose the extreme couponing threads on here don't help.
