    and grabbed from the individual stalls

    expiry dates are quite short unfortunately
    couldn't find any allinsons coupons on the Baking Mad stall - last lime I knocked all the leaflets on the floor trying to find the one's with coupons and the staff were a bit rude about it
    also cant find Garners pickled onion , Baxters , Alpro this year and Jordans and Nain didn't have any coupons in sight

    Was there for 2 days (Wed/Thurs), came away with 72 voucher books, DW another 74!! Plus numerous MOCs from other stalls, something in the order of £1000 of MOCs in total, so, yes, well worth the effort, IMHO!! Asked all the girls if we could have a few books, and was given handfuls by couple of them :T


    Jordans coupon was in the book, best coupon on the stalls was PUDZ, asked if we could take a few, girl gave us about 200!!

    Edit: If anyone is going over the weekend, go to the BBC good food stall, enter the comp, get a goody bag... sweeties, coffee samples (each with a 50p MOC), and other bits... we missed this one until the end of the second day

    Absolutely yes, I always come away with a a couple of hundred pounds worth of coupons.

    I never buy a ticket in advance though, there's always people selling 'em or often giving 'em away on the day.

    Where do you buy these cheaper tickets from, or who is giving them away? I might go to the NEC tomorrow, but I don't want to pay for full price tickets. Thanks.

    I have bought a few of these off e-bay.....I had my suspicions that they might have come from the Good Food Show.
    I paid £20 for £100 worth of mocs (was quite pleased with that)
