This is how I do it:

On the pdf you can see a little camera icon. Click on that then go down to the section you want to highlight and it will create a box around it. This saves to the clipboard. Then I go into word, add it to a document and copy paste it - which gave me 4 nice clear mocs to cut out.

Thanks for this I have also managed to put multiple on one page saves paper

cheers

I am very grateful for all the coupons that are posted here, but have ready on one of the threads that hundreds of pounds are saved with coupons and although I managed to print off maybe £4 for each transaction I cant see how others are saving so much. I have read somewhere on this website that someone had saved £500, not sure of the timescale but imagine they have been using coupons for a long time as by using coupons for 25p and 35p it would take a very long time to reach this amount. Dont think I am not appreciative for the coupons posted as really I am, totally thankful for the money I have saved recently.

Well once you have been collecting coupons for a while you should build up a nice batch of 'old faithfuls'. Some are printables like the Instyle and Uncut, others may be from newspaper & magazine multiple purchases that you may have made months before for the coupon-profit alone. And you may have bought some on eBay or picked up a pile at a Food Show, Summer County Fair or similar. Or you may have swapped some unwanted Tesco or Boots points for NSS MOCs on www.paidtoshop.co.uk which is well worth joining for serious Tesco & Boots shoppers.

You will start slowly but if you persevere you will have about £20 to spend on an average shop. At the moment I have about £30 to spend per shop, as it includes the nice £5 off £30 Morrisons coupons that were printed in the Sun newspaper the other week, and some Waitrose spend & save vouchers as well. Tesco accept these 'conditional spend' coupons from other Supermarkets (N.B. but not ordinary money off coupons with a Supermarket logo on).

:rolleyes: Only if you promise to use it at Waitrose, or at a bookshop to buy the book...:D

If you wanted to use it at Tesco then that Avenue of Pleasure has been cut off (to paraphrase Basil Fawlty).

As you've started a separate thread to discuss the pros and cons of using this coupon in Tesco, please could you use that thread for this sort of comment - the general consensus of opinion here is that we're all sick of the debate (not to mention WELL aware of your views:D )

To the person who wanted the link to the coupon, it's here

And if you'd like to read the discussion on whether or not it should be used at Tesco, it's here

I started off usign 2 coupons (BIC soleil and pedigree chum 1.50 off) so a total of 4 pound off a 40-50 pound shop every week.

I got turned down a few times by the older CSes... have alot more success going for the teenagers who are just working their part time.

I went to tesco last 2 days (work like 0.4 miles away from it :P... lucky me eh? :P) and each time got 11 pound off a 11.70 shop and 14 pound off a 14.70 shop

Going again today with my ol faithful coupons

I just use couponstart, newspaper coupons and anything i 'gather' through mailings and one -offers like the candis magazine. Ask for a free copy.. get 3 quid worth of coupons.

I feel guilty giving in more than 20 coupons so try and distribute the lesser value ones over 2 days... with the core of my coupons being the high value ones... like couponstar and Nappy mailing coupons.

Also at same time I started (thank to Paid 2 shop) collecting points... started slow bu am at 5400 points this quarter so far . .. 200 quid towards a holiday... most times used MOCS to pay for it too :P.

I heard a rumour they were ending the coupon policy at christmas.. not surprised with the current economic crisis looming... tesco will tighen its belt also... so get the use in now i say .

They won't end it because of the economic crisis - accepting coupons adds to their profits, so ending the policy would hit them.

They make more out of accepting coupons than if you paid in cash - they get paid more than the face value of each coupon, don't get their staff pocketing them in the same way cash goes missing, don't have any bank charges to pay for handling cash and the customers spend more than they would do otherwise.

Totally agree - the coupon policy will make more people shop at Tesco than elsewhere and will keep their coffers full. If anything the credit crunch, as it's being called, may make Tesco ensure that all stores follow company policy of accepting MOCs up to the full value of a customer's shopping, providing all are different and in date, are NSS, and Tesco stock the product. I can but pray:rolleyes:

Didn't see much evidence of this in the CouponMad reply to the question that prompted cmatthews.

(A poster had asked where a coupon could be found, and CouponMad wasted everyone's time by taking the opportunity to once again restate her personal views, yet NOT help the inquirer one little bit)
