In my Asda you can use 3 of each voucher with no limit to the total you can use, took 3 of each from Zing and got £26 worth of shopping completely free. I realise I am lucky with my Asda but wish they'd have more of a standard policy.

Wow, you are lucky! Our Asda are really picky with vouchers, they only take up to 10% and even then they scrutinise every single voucher more or less with a magnifying glass for ages... That's why I shop at Tesco :rolleyes:

Would you mind saying which Asda you shop at? If I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely want to pop in (or PM if you want)

Wow! Thats only a couple of junctions down from me - told the kids - I'm on my mobile - sort yourselves out! I owe you one Charlotte.

Yes, thankyou, I had already heard about this offer. It is only the grocery coupons that I would be interested in. I've been considering a subscription to Zing but only if it had a good number of grocery non-store-specific vouchers. Theme park or holiday vouchers aren't really for me but I'm sure would help others.

You're right, the "Best" offer was only for one week, but since there were some coupons inside the main magazine, I'd thought it was worth asking if there was anything this week.

Thanks to your link, I've clicked on the Zing site and the reassurance of a money-back guarantee is making it more appealing. This Zing magazine is still a little bit of an unknown quantity, having only published two issues so far.

did any of you get issue one, was it any good? i sent off my subscription anyway, it was worth the £9 just based on the savings i got when buying one magazine :-)

I didn't buy the May copy as I didn't know about it then but here is a link for you to have a look at it:

The subscription offer of 12 "free" copies for £9 postage and packing is open until 10th July. Anyway, I've taken the plunge already but if anyone is still unsure, there should be time to flick through the July issue in the shops before subscribing.

Here are the coupons that they had in the May issue:
(all are non store specific unless stated)

50p off Cheerios
50p off Reef cocktails at Sainsbury's
50p off Appletiser at Tesco
60p off Powerade at Tesco
50p off six pack of Sprite/Lilt/Dr Pepper at Tesco
50p off Carb Options pasta
40p off Carb Options recipe sauces
30p off Carb Options table sauces
50p off Felix cat treats
50p off Goodfellas pizza
50p off Caffrey's at Sainsbury's
50p off Worthington's beer at Sainsbury's
50p off Wilkinson Sword Extreme 3 men's razors
50p off Wilkinson Sword Extreme 3 ladies razors
£2 off Wilkinson Sword Protector 3D Diamond razor blades
£1 off Clearasil for men
50p off Sun, Swim and Gym hair care range at Boots
50p off Voltarol Emulgel P
£1.50 off Australian Body care range at Boots
200 extra Advantage Card points when you buy bulk packs of Slimfast at Boots, plus various other advantage card and Boots offers.
Those were the only grocery offers I found but there are also other percentage off or free trial offers for Dollond & Aitchison, Fitness First and Hollywood Bowl.

What do you reckon? Do you like their track record so far?
I wonder if it's just one subscription per household?!?
I imagine as a new magazine, they're trying to build up their readership to attract more advertisers, and hopefully coupon donors.

I've also subscribed to Zing on the basis that as long as each magazine has a 75p off coupon I could use (£9/12) then it paid for itself. Actually I was bemoaning not buying more of the BEst magazine last Tuesday once the new issue had come out and then my Zing arrived through the post...not once...but twice!! As long as they haven't charged me £9 twice, I'm really happy with that!!

So by the looks of things we should get approx £9 worth of money off vouchers in each issue.

I work that out at a yearly saving of just over £100 pounds on your big supermarket shop. Excellent!! :T

Ive sent off my £9 for subscription and received a letter saying first one will be posted towards end of July.

I just need to use up my pile ive got in cupboard before I get new ones!! lol

jellyhead

i signed up too but haven't heard anthing from them yet.

I signed up to the zing mag....got my first issue a few days ago...
its brill....as long as all the vouchers go thro' at tesco...
i missed out on the first one so just hope they all scan.
however it doesnt work out you can always cancel your subscription and they refund the bit you havent used so its not that bad.
will update whether they go thro or not....

The king of shaves vouchers in the June issue all scan at Tescos now.
