Good for him!

I'm not knocking him, however I can't help thinking that he must have had some, extreme, cooperation from the shop.
If a pleb, like myself, turned up with wads of vouchers, for a weekly shop, I've got feeling they'd find a way of not honouring all of them.

Good publicity though, clever boy!

Good lad .

A few years ago, tesco would accept any coupon for anything (i.e. milk coupon doesn't need to be spent on milk) but only one per transaction. When my wife was at uni, she would print off about 20 of each internet coupon she could find, then split her shopping into several transactions so each one used all the coupons and cost her a few pence. She got about a thousand quids worth of free shit before they changed their policy so that coupons only work with the product on the coupon .


Given that he has about 40 of each item (squirty cream included), he probably took advantage of the new version, but still did it in multiple transactions.

Hmm. Good lad on the face of it - not sure how useful the trolley of cream will be but sure it'll get used somehow

The cynic in me does wonder though

Definately. I meant in terms of whether this 'business' would be in the same generous theme of giving to the needy, or more just a business of him flogging and advising on coupons for profit-to-his-pocket

[daffy]

that lad has been couponing for the last 3-4 years. He was on a documentry the other nite with a radio 1 dj.

You mean to say we now have American style coupons?! If it's possible to use some brainpower to basically shop for free, count me in.
