Is it worth going to BBC Good food show just for coupons?

MBN

I wanted to go on Thursday but was soo busy that I had to give up, can't go tomorrow either. I've heard so many great things about this show, hopefully I will be able to attend next year (never been to it before).

Well done to those who managed to get so many lovely coupons :T

Just a thought. Has anyone been on the last day (tomorrow) before? Is there likely to be loads of free stuff??

Went on the last day for the previous 2 years and it seems its the same kind of discounts you get as if you were going on any of the other days.

Given it a miss this year as the mrs is expecting our 2nd child.

I might go to the NEC tomorrow, but I don't want to pay for full price tickets. Thanks.

you might find some coupons that people have dropped outside the exhibition halls / car park
I picked up a few that way - I'm sure nobody here would walk past an abandoned coupon

The ticket booths have the nectar logo but I am unsure if you can pay with nectar points on the day

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)

The coupon book has the London and Birmingham logos - so they may have been from the London show
I'm surprised nobody who visited the London show posted the contents of the coupon book

I didn't spot the Lloyd Grossman coupon - I noticed they were giving out a brown bag but it looked empty

I will be going back tomorrow as I had 2 free tickets
In previous years I got a discount on the last day on Garners Pickled onions and Baxters pickles (50p for 2 jars) and they were giving away the calendar with coupons (they aren't exhibiting this year)
This year Total Greek yoghurt have a cooler bag with 6 yoghurts for £1 , plenty of 40p coupons useful as the yoghurt costs 59p or 72p for the honey version

Yep they were in the brown bags... didnt you think it was odd that they would just give away a bag with nothing in it? I always grab everything handed to me...just in case!!!
