    It depends where you normally shop Natalie. Most of the voucher/coupon use is aimed at Tesco as they are the ones most likely to accept coupons for money off your shopping.

    You don't even have to buy the product the coupon is for either, you can use a coupon for 30p off Daz on a loaf of bread and vice versa etc etc.

    The best places to get moc's (money off coupons) are from Ebay and out of magazines/newspapers. There is a specific magazine thread HERE that will let you know which magazines have moc's in them.

    At the moment, there is a £2 coupon in Real People magazine off a Mills and Boon book, this will scan at Tesco and also Asda against your normal shopping, without buying the book, cashier dependant though!

    Best advice is to go and read the first page of the Tesco thread and that will give you a better idea of whats what :)

    Aww thanks for that :)

    So i just hand over the coupons at the end of the shop even though i havnt bought the product?

    I nomally shop @ Asda Btw. xx

    I have kept almost all of my Tesco receipts since I started doing this. I am just in the middle of counting up how much it should have been and how much it actually was... should be fun to find out how much I saved :)
    Stopped smoking Jan 2007 after 23 years!
    Cigarettes NOT smoked = 240,945
    Smoke free days = 11 Years :T
    Cash saved so far = £125,45,11

    I'm guessing it must be a bit (as from other posts I'm guessing it's been a bit longer than 2 weeks you've been doing it for lol).

    Will be nice to see it all written down, but will you be going 'but where else has it gone'? I know I would be LOL - must get a pot and put my smoking money in that soon (given up smoking 5 weeks ago now), and then the Tesco savings can go in there too :)
    Do not feed the trolls please.
