    Daily Mirror - 11 MOCs with a total value of £1.10 in a centre pull out section

    This is a promotion for National Independents Week 2008

    Please note, these are ALL marked but ALL have standard barcodes

    50p off Birds Eye 100% Fillet Omega Fish Fingers exp 30/06/08

    Being totally stupid here I think. 11 mocs with a total value of £1.10 but the Birds Eye one is worth 50p. That means 10 coupons with a value of 60p total. Can somebody explain to me. Thanks.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    Unashamably pinched from one of Quoia posts

    Good Morning All,

    Friday 30th May

    Please post here if you get any of today's newspapers or have the chance to look through one.
    Please tell us if any of them contain coupons or freebies or vouchers OR NOT !

    Important details are:
    The cost of the newspaper
    Whether it's a regional edition
    Page number
    Expiry date of the voucher
    Whether it's store specific and has a barcode (POST the BARCODE NUMBER if possible)

    Remember if you go shopping look in as many newspapers as you can.
    Post even if you don't see any coupons, and mention any offers that you see.

    Below you'll find a list of the abbreviations and how to interpret them.

    MOC - Money Off Coupon
    Bc - Barcode, good chance of universal scan
    bc - only selected stores scan
    Xwrd - Crossword
    PUZ - Puzzle
    T#3 - Token 3
    T2collect - Token 2 Collect (generally you have to collect numerous tokens to get the offer)

    Lets hope todays a good one for coupons

    Link to yesterday's thread - Thursday 29th May :

    Weekday newspaper pricing details:

    Sun 35p / Star 35p / Mirror 40p / Express 40p / Mail 50p
    Times 70p / Independent 80p / Telegraph 80p / Guardian 80p


    A new feature added at the request of several avid Newspaper Summary threads readers.
    A link to the "MAGAZINE Offers" thread - worth checking post #1 & #2 and the last page probably on a daily basis.

    I am a lousy typist at best and you should give people a chance to finish what they are doing before you worry about it. :rolleyes:

    I wouldn't use them in Tesco as they are only meant to be used in smaller independant shops :naughty:

    It won't do the coupon policy any good either if people use them in Tesco as they won't be able to redeem them, think of the bigger picture!
