i dont really buy papers to be honest but reading this thread has made me think perhaps i have. Do people that use these tokens often feel they get good value etc out of them overall? or is a lot of it just guff? Just curious as the thread makes me think if its that easy why doesnt everyone do it lol?

Thanks for info earlier, got paper can see on page 18 beside the token it says, second token available in the coffee break section, so I turned over to page 42 in the coffee break section and I can see there is an other token although much smaller, so can I use these both to count for 20% off and do I need to get some sort of voucher to put them on?? please any help, has anyone used these before??

Depends what you mean by 'tokens' really - here are 3 examples:

1. Tokens for 2 for 1 entry to some attraction, or tokens to save towards cheap holidays etc, are only useful if you will use them for the purpose on them. Nothing to get excited about if they aren't for something you want.

2. However, other Money-Off Coupons (say, £1 off a magazine or 50p off cheese, for example) are very useful and IMHO that's what this thread is all about really (and what the Magazine coupon thread is all about too - link to that is in quoia's first Newspaper post every day). In Tesco, Asda and Waitrose they will accept some coupons like these WITHOUT you having to buy the product stated. It's their policy, it's OK and it's not illegal. So just collect a pile of MOCS (all different products) and you should be able to use them off your shopping - it depends on the store, but most will allow at least one, sometimes anything you have with a barcode! I always pay mostly in MOCS at Tesco, luckily one local store is v. coupon-friendly.

3. The Daily Mail Book token is used by some people in Supermarkets as it scans against any shopping, like the MOCS mentioned above - but IMHO it's not acceptable (was told by more than 1 Tesco Manager that they cannot redeem them, they shouldn't take any book tokens except the World Book Day £1 that'll be issued to children quite soon, they'll take that but you 'should' buy a book). So I don't abuse my local store with Dail Mail Book tokens now.
