Love this thread can anyone give me tips and ideas on how ti get started please

Different people have different ways of starting.

get yourself a scissors

if you can print coupons in work my suggestion is a printer to pdf application. I use bullzip, its free and easy to install.
with the money you save you could probably get yourself a laser printer.
[HTML]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-ML-1865-Black-Laser-Printer/dp/B004E1VE56/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1318508355&sr=8-3[/HTML]this one is really cheap and considering it prints around 1500 pages * if each page can save you €1 then it will have paid for itself in no time.

if you can try putting several coupons on one page that way when you print them you arent wasting paper.

Get yourself a photo album or some sort of flip folder thingy or something like that to hold all your coupons.
We sorted out our coupons in the front to food and the back to cleaning stuff, keep an eye on the expiry dates.

oh and if you arent already on facebook join it as loads of companies are now giving coupons away if you like their pages.

One last thing, if you spot a coupon, post it here if it hasnt already been posted.

Thanks for the tip would never have given it a second taught to cost of printing

i got an a5 a-z pocket folder in tesco and have everything alphabetical

Guys, anyone got a pdf of the j&j bedtime bath saved? Its gone from pigsback and does anyone know if they're still half price in dunnes or SV?

Jessica Fletcher · 14-10-2011 3:30pm

Dunnes are doing 20% back in vouchers today and tomorrow (not sure about Sunday?). It went nicely with my Aquafresh vouchers

Is this money back straight away (as in extra discount) or on your club card?

Jessica Fletcher · 14-10-2011 3:44pm

It goes on clubcard and you get it in vouchers in December.

I thought I had it but I must have deleted it, sorry. You can get 50cent off johnson baby soft bath on their website.

Irishchick · 14-10-2011 7:30pm

If you sign up to airwick fresher homes on the website (or through pigsback) You can get 1 euro coupon off any airwick product.

I cant post it up because its a personalized coupon linked to my account.

daytob · 14-10-2011 7:44pm

Thanks for the airwick coupon heads-up.
Was able to save this to my pdf so I can save it and print several.

Do you have a spare one?

Back after a long time...
hating all the arguing, loving all your hard work.
I would want to say some things but better not stir any more poop.
Happy Saturday shopping tomorrow (today)!

daytob · 15-10-2011 7:25am

Would love to be able to give you a spare one but it has my name on it,
have you tried downloading bullzip and installing it and using that to save as a pdf?

thats how I do it, and it works a treat.

other than that I would give it to ya

yeah hating all the arguing too. I know I buy loads of items for items I need and use and I will try notify bargain alerts that the item is in stock while I am buying it. * doesnt always work though.

I'll probably get lambasted by the Coupon Police for sharing this, but I have about 4 different hotmail email addresses that I use for limited coupons.

Weekly shop the other day was 202 euro before coupons. After coupons..... 24.79. RESULT!!!

daytob · 15-10-2011 8:26am

cant send you a pm Tiraballa, you need to empty some of your messages

Is 202 before store discounts like BOGOF as well. Great price but would be interested to know what coupons you use and what how many coupons you used too.

Believe me, if I told you some of the strokes I pull by combining store offers and coupons there would be a petition to have me banned!!!!

It's a pity we can't have a forum where we can actually share money saving tips without the arguements.....

Unfortunately I have no heart and don't have any sympathy for the multinationals who have been ripping us off for years.

Only thing I'm saying is that if you're using 60 odd coupons who's going to notice one or two extra :eek:

my kids only eat margherita pizza, the Goodfellas thin and crispy are half price at 1.69 at the moment so .69 cent each with the voucher! (no problems using it) combined that with a Tesco voucher I got in my last mailing so 6 free pizza!
