    None in the the Cambridge stores - Newmarket Rd and Milton. Thought there might be some in the latter and even asked at Pharmacy but none. The last batch were out before! Someone mentinoed there were some at Bar Hill tho...but wish they were in the closer stores!

    Going to Hull at weekend to see a friend - anyone up there found any?

    Rumour has it that the other Cambridge store may have the odd one left......

    Good & bad.. Just got back from coupon hunting & found I'd received a pm from the Coupon King my Fiance LH & he was going to share half his load with me that he'd got... Now thinking you do owe me LH but can't remember what for :confused: Or maybe you really do love me & the engagement is on... :o Maybe I should have done housework instead of coupon hunting after being offered your load....

    Anyway in total 80 mile around trip, first stop... nabbed a lonely 1 in a trolley, 1 in a bin (well not elegant of me to do so) Filled up with wombled 5p fuel coupon...Then travelled 30 miles away at a store I'd never hit.. I was amazed at the size of it, upstairs too. Dem desk nabbed the lot apart from 1 incase cameras were looking down, pharmacy desk had stacks on but too many staff behind... went back to dem desk... they'd put more out.. straight into my trolley then bag for life... Then saw woman nab what looked like around 10 very quickly from pharmacy & swiftly went to fruit & veg placing them on top of leaflets, I followed her as wanted to say hi:hello: but she dissapeared into thin air (11.00 o'clock I think) Pharmacy desk in the clear nabbed the lot apart from a couple, back to dem desk... thought this is a joke... a set up as more put out... took them... Went & paid for 2 boxes of cereal with coupons out Tesco mag & left... watching behind me for security... 173 in total...

    Stopped at another store & grabbed what was left on bottom shelf of dem desk which was 20, so with yesterdays 4 now I have 199... Now the hard part is getting them accepted...

    I'm proud to be a coupon thief (whoops I mean coupon queen)

    Good Luck to you all & if you do it big do it in style.....


    Wow! Well done hun xxxx :D

    Can you tell them to put 'em out in my stores?

    At the one that has them most of the time today, it was 1 per person from behind the pharmacy counter! :eek: :eek: :eek:
    Felt like saying....*that's no good to me* but was very restrained :o

    Wonder how many people i can *borrow* to go.........

    OMG :eek: Kronen! That's amazing it is!! Wish i had your luck you lucky thing :p:p :rotfl:

    Its bottle you need..its luck that you find the coupons...a lot of bottle is needed to look round the back of the displays and remove the odd 1 or 2.....or walk past the Pharnacy counter and pick up an inch or more.,,I did this yesterday twice, until the security guard who stopped me recently for shoplifting FREE QUIT PACKS spotted me....only managed 100+ yesyerday...went back today but Beauty Consultant had them close to her........theres always tomorrow

    I have to say.. I am all for people saving money don't get me wrong but with people grabbing so many vouchers it ruins it for some of us.
    No wonder some folks don't find any in their locals!
    I think there is a difference between saving some quid and taking advantage of " the system" and sooner or later the vouchers will stop and then we will really be S.O.L :(

    Around 30 people on PTS(and here) owe me.....for coupons i sent out last time, when they had nothing to offer me.....I'm afraid its a case of "who dares wins"

    I travel sometimes 80 miles(more for clothes deals) , kronen posted she travelled a 80+ miles as well, putting the leg work in, pays the dividends.

    Well theres a disappointment, has the engagement ever been off, and Ive been faithful as well..........lol etc.

    Persistence certainly pays off....I decided that after being there for a couple of hours yesterday, the Consultant must surely have to pee...she did and that was my opportunity, round the back of the display, but only about 80 on the shelf...took the lot, She came back put some out on display from locked cupboard, left stand again, i took lot except one.....no more after that as she held them close to her, wombled a few and wombled a few more today.....but got spotted(see above)...New stores tomorrow may yield more....decided on last months transactions, i need around 400 to clear the month....but as i will have loads of points i may not use, will swap these on PTS for either Quits or more HandB.

    So well done kronen for your persistence, and dont worry at the odd sad remark...I feed me and mine with my coupons, and I'm sure you do exactly the same.

    As for the begging letters etc.......................well, I'm still going to send mine.


    And sorry to all those who built their hopes up on one of my previous posts with regard to coupons coming out on Monday.......well obviously they didnt. I ended up fishing.....and had excellent results....some nice trout, my new V rod didnt perform too well, but the climax of the day came in a late shower where the bites came fast and furious......scored really well.

    hi leadhead - how many million h&b's have u found this time then:)



    Not many this time.,, but its early days, spoke to consultant after relieving her of around 90, and she told me she only had 2 boxes, so would only give me 8 for my girls....and that only the large Extras who have a Beauty Consultant have them.

    But i'll be looking in 3 large Extras tomorrow.......

    I think everyones being a bit hasty, the last lot of times theres been reports of new H&B its sometimes been a couple of weeks before everyone gets them. I know my store is always a couple of weeks behind the first "report" so Im crossing my fingers and holding out. After all the stuff I've had out of Mr T Im not too fussed this time round anyway, if I find them Ill use them but I defo wouldn't be buying any from ebay, goes against my Idea of moneysaving. (IMO) Anyway hold out and Im sure you'll get some.

    Only just noticed I've been demoted a star, didnt know they were changing the system? Oh well!
