    I've been Money Tipped!
    Can someone please direct me to the thread regarding the Countdown to Christmas vouchers please.

    I picked some up tonight and I am sure I read that you don't have to buy the product even though they are Tesco coupons.

    Many thanks.

    No body must have informed the stores where ive been using 40 at a time....., although one girlie did mention she wasnt supposed to take them off gift cards, as she did my £30's worth of gift cards.

    Over the last 2 weeks they've really started to tighten up in the store local to me. The lad tonight was great and asked if I wanted to go through and pick out my best 5 coupons. Wish I'd known before I'd got to the till though.

    It'll take me forever to shift my mocs at this rate and they don't let you do split shops either.

    Monday is fishing day.............well, had another absolutely brilliant day, 6 hours of ectasy(just can't get enough)......learnt knew things and taught new things as well, its amazing the difference a simple rubber band can make,........still never caught any flies(fly fishing)...but went home with a couple of trout.....

    Got a call from my partner in crime on way home....who said "RTP on MSE is reporting £6 blues are out again"..............well the perfect day got even better, made a 20 mile detour to a store where i have always had great coupon gathering successes..(278 was best in one go).....and lo and behold, at least 2000 of them sitting on each of the 6 clothing desks, and not an assistant in sight. Well.........I mean, whats a person supposed to do..........just take the odd one, ............NO.....I dont think so........so after picking up an inch(decided thats all would fit in one pocket), circled again and took another inch for the other pocket................said goodnight to security guard on way out, and made my way home to count my spoils.............2 trout and





    a disappointing 266 sheets of coupons....13 short of a new record.....

    always striving to improve.......etc.

    Forgot about the bit of the day that wasnt perfect, when the big articulated lorry, cut the roundabout and jammed me in the middle, I thought i'd lost the side of the car, but luckily his wheel only caught the front bumper, being on a couponing high, i just let him off with it.

    EDIT...... On reflection..my estimate of 2000 on each of the desks was a large over estimate...there was a 6" pile on each desk....possibly around 800 to 900 per pile
    Couponing....."every little hurts"

    Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
    But all the people can't be all right all the time. .........I think Abraham Lincoln said that.

    I,ve had a few nice surprizes from older ladies on tills, so not all bad, and a few nasty ones from youngsters, you just never can tell. Tonight I had a lovely young man (ooh er missus) knew he would be ok just by looking, getting good at this. He was complaining he never gets any vouchers just his staff discount and some ladies ones through the post, didnt have time to tell him the whole story, just that , they,re not vouchers but coupons and they just lie about the shop, dont think he belived me. Now had my car booty, was a very quiet day but all my Plax sold at £1.00 each, same with Lynx, hand wash at 80p toothpaste at 25p (that was the 29p stuff...cheeky) and slimfast bars and tubs at £1.00 not bad for freebies eh!

    Well pointed out..............Ive had a few nice surprises as well....but we'll not go into that.

    After a quick look, yes you're right. I only added 1 x £1.25 coupon instead of 2:D So even more profit then :D :T

    This worked for a couple of days but no longer. They are not in dates yet - people are waiting for the "Valid from" date to try again.

    oh bu**er I picked a few of these up the other day. Sounds like they've fixed it. If they worked for a few days the SAs were probably alerted, and then reported it. Looks like we've had it with that then

    Mind you, Iam surprised they havent yet sorted out the H&B working at half the price
