    Presume in Yesterdays Sunday Mail. Don't know for sure. But you only need 4 different days tokens. So could, in theory, start collecting from today's

    Are you talking about the same offer or is this a typo ???

    Not as high value but you still get a profit if you buy some of the weekly mags which had coupons in. Its the last day to buy Bella and Best, Best is excellent for coupons this week. Ther eis another one in tesco which is 40p this week, called Look it or such like and it also has coupons.

    The other thing you can do is to do your recycling at the paper bank. I tried putting some newspapers in on Sunday in a nearly full paper bank and three newspapers fell out, all with money off coupons inside!

    ...though there is advance notification of "discount vouchers" for Greene King pubs to be printed on Thursday and Friday - no other info on those today

  • alton towers token 2 was in the express yesterday. it doesn't matter if you've missed it though, you only need 4 and friday's is the essential one with the coupon and terms and conditions. i am collecting for 6 free tickets but only bought one paper yeaterday to see if there was any other info mentioned, otherwise i would rather pay weekday prices for the paper.

    no, we don't know the terms yet but as a frequent alton towers visitor i have to say that your kids will certainly not have fun on a weekend visit during the summer holidays, unless they want to queue for more than 2 hours for rita etc.

    my husband uses one of his work holidays when we go to theme parks, much shorter queue times because it's not as busy.

    alton towers costs £32 for an adult, even as a bogof offer it would be £16 so these free tickets are fantastic for people like me - i have annual passes for my family but i want to take a bunch of kids there for my son's birthday and this is much cheaper than using my tesco clubcard points or paying £11 each as part of the half price leaflet offer.

    other family and friends will all take a day off work for a theme park visit too, help out with transport for my sons friends etc. - they wouldn't go at a weekend because it's always heaving.

    i've had newspaper offers in the past, for drayton manor, legoland etc. and there have been date restrictions, some parks more restrictive than others. also in the terms you had to send off for your voucher, and they specified one per household so friends and relatives would have to use their addresses if you are after more than one ticket.

    i don't mean to sound horrible, but this is free and weekdays are so so much better at theme parks. do you have any holiday left? it could be worth taking a day off for this :D

  • me again.

    if you prefer weekend visits to theme parks you could always cheat and get a cheap annual pass. use this free ticket to get in, then pick up a discarded £32 entry ticket off the floor (at alton towers teenagers chuck rubbish on the floor even if there's a bin in front of them). then go to the annual pass office and pretend you paid £32 to get in, and get that £32 taken off the cost of an annual pass. i think the tussauds pass is £95 for a year but there's an alton towers only pass which is £65, using this cheat method it would only cost £32 per person.

    if you have kids you could still do it, pick up entry tickets for all of you (the kids under 12 need kid entry tickets though, harder to find) and pretend you didn't all arrive at the same time, hence you didn't buy a family ticket when you arrived. you might not get all of the entry costs refunded, but an family annual pass would include 4 people for the price of 3 (if the 2 kids are under 12).

    hi, i haven't followed the magazine thread but i bought best mag this week for 78p i think. the snip and ssave vouchers weren't any good but there were a few vouchers throughout the mag, adding up to £2.20. might be worth buying a copy.
