I just wanted to add that, after emailing Purina a random pet-related question a few days ago, I received a £5 voucher from them through the post yesterday - brilliant!
:T

Fantastic news, I was thinking though because the coupons by mail is a bit off topic should we all post our mail triumphs on the mail coupon thread???

Just a thought??

Oh and what question did you ask them? I know that sounds odd but I really can't think what to ask!!!

Where exactly do you think the Complan voucher needs to be cut, just the very bottom or from the pink bar. Its just that it mentions see reverse so not sure exactly where to cut?

Ok, IMHO what you do if you want an acceptable-looking coupon is to print it front & back (takes a bit of practice but these never get turned down in my local).

I'm not sure if other people see something different than I do but, when I click on the printer icon and open up the print window, I change the 'page scaling' (on the left in the print window) to 'booklet printing'.

Then select how many you want to print; they will come out filling half a side of the A4. Then represent the paper into the printer and repeat 3 times with the same sheets of A4, so that the coupons are printed twice on each side, back to back.

Make sure you know which way to put the paper each time - sometimes a bit of trial and error with your first attempt is needed, then you can print loads at once later on.

Then you can cut out four double-sided coupons from each sheet of A4 (obviously not cutting through the barcode or wording on either side). With these ones there's not a lot of colour compared to some, so I think it's worth the 'tweaking' to get some very acceptable coupons.

Sometimes you can achieve the same thing by choosing 'multiple pages per sheet' (2 per sheet) but I tried this first and with this Complan coupon they came out with the wording overlapping the barcode a bit. So I am sticking with booklet printing which uses the margins and spaces the coupons better.

:T Thanks Coupon Mad, just had a quick look and I have the Booklet printing option will give it a try later. If I understand you the top of the coupon prints on the front and the bottom on the back?

So, after yesterdays session of coupon printing, went shopping last night @ Tesco Lee Mill, (Nr Plymouth) complete with a copy of their policy statement on coupon redemption. It seems its not only that the stores vary their policy - so do the staff on the tills! I picked the WRONG ONE. It didn't go well when I whisked back to an aisle to get some soap powder to make up my £50 spend (for the 5p litre off fuel) and then was still 12p short so had to find something else but she got well narked when I gave her my coupons. Reckoned Tesco wouldn't accept them. I politely pointed out that some were for the goods themselves, not just money off but she insisted in getting a supervisor over. The supervisor couldn't be more helpful & said the policy is constantly changing & she believed that it was back to the 10% of total spend. By the time the 'official' ones were taken off I was probably left with just under 10% so I got rid of them all. Till staff still not happy & made some sarky remark to the effect that it was just as well these came off AFTER I qualified for the 5p litre fuel voucher. I know which till I'll avoid next time!

I went into this Tesco too and was only allowed 10% in coupons, try Plymouth City Centre Metro or Transit Way. Ive been doing quite well in both lately.
