Lidl and Aldi don't accept coupons of any kind

snubbleste · 03-09-2012 10:49am

Piece on Radio1 at the minute with Tina Leonard (:rolleyes:)
There are approx 3000 coupons printed from Pigsback every month but only half of them are used.

hairyairyfairy · 04-09-2012 11:58am

Anyone sign up for that printyourcoupons.com banner advertsied on adverts?

Are there any Irish coupons available on it?

thanks

CH3OH · 07-09-2012 10:53am

http://www.supersavvyme.co.uk/
Just thought I would let people know about my attempts to get some more coupons available

Supersavvyme is the promotion wing of Proctor & Gamble: manufacturer of many of the biggest brands in our shopping trollies e.g Pampers, Fairy, Olay, Bold, Lenor, Gillette, etc....
There used to be a .ie version of the website but this now redirects to the UK version where there are approx 25 coupons for various P&G products with generally £1 off

I wrote to them over a year ago asking why there were no coupons available to Irish consumers and got the fob off that they were looking into making coupons available in euros for Irish comsumers.
I decided to write to them again last week and got the same story:
"We have again escalated your query to the Super Savvy Me team and we are planning on launching some vouchers which will be suitable for use in Ireland in the next couple of months.
Thanks again for taking the time to contact us"

I believe that there actually was 1 or 2 coupons for Bold if I remember correctly over tha last year.

I'm not hopeful that they will follow through on the promises, but it might be helpful if some more board members registered on the website and enquired as to availability of coupons for Irish consumers.

hairyairyfairy · 07-09-2012 11:23am

I wrote to them last year and same generic reply as well

They do GREAT coupons and items that you can at least stock up on!!

especially the cleaning and beauty products, feeling a little left out

"is it coz I'm Irish????"

ladypip · 09-09-2012 2:30am

I wrote to them as well, same story i got the same generic email back...dont hold your breath!

Cois43 · 23-09-2012 1:06pm

Hi i have read here how some of you email the company's and they send you coupons i was just wondering what people say in the emails. i know it sound silly but do you just ask for coupons or do you just say how much you love there product.Thanks

IrishGurll · 23-09-2012 8:41pm

Just say that you really like there products and you were wondering do they offer coupons

clodagh.dormer · 01-10-2012 1:43pm

I emailed Supersavvy me also. I love their site and the products P&G provide but I got fobbed off too saying they are looking into this! I think it would be helpful if they thought the Irish consumer would use these products.

Hi all I am a avid couponer and have recently been made redudant so I have registered a domain name and am currenty trying to set up a site where I can offer coupons to users ( not spamming dont worry mods ) , I have contacted a lot of companies and have been given positive feedback for them supplying same , so my question is what as a potential user would you like to see on such a site

I don't think Any one would really mind what brand it would just be nice to see more variety of coupons other than just dairy , and larger quantity of coupons at the moment there is only about 9 floating around

Cheers IrishGurl ya every coupon would be a bonus and I am hoping to get a large amount on the site but for example would ye like to see a special offer page where you can what stores are doing offers on the products that I would have coupons for, a montly newsletter or possibly a forum on the site where coupons can be discussed also would it be a issue that if you signed up and printed a coupon that they company who issued the company emailed you and asked for feedback on that product

Yah I think it would be great to have a part of the site that matched what deals are on at what shop with the coupons it would save a lot of hassle , and a forum would be brilliant as well its great to discuss couponing with like mind people , and yes I think it would be only fair to ask for feedback on the product since a company is going out of its way to give money off , I think its brilliant what you are doing and I will defo be looking out for you're website , It would be great to have on good website that is all about coupons , Fair play to you for doing it

Good luck with this. The two most important things for me as a coupon user:
1. Ability to print coupons unrestricted. I don't want to have to download software etc to do this and I don't want to be told I can only print once or twice. I have no problem with the pigsback way of individual barcodes per coupon.
2. New coupons

Irishchick · 09-10-2012 11:00am

Can I ask who you have gotten feedback from and what exactly they said?

campo · 09-10-2012 11:31am

Can't go into too much detail but they are interested in more ways to encourage customers to choose their products and the feedback option appeals to them greatly

sharong · 09-10-2012 4:33pm

cereals would be a good one i know my family (kids) go through loads
cleaning products
kitchen and loo roll
pet food
shampoo/conditioner
these would suit every family
would love another coupon site

paddycakes · 09-10-2012 5:07pm

I'd be quite happy with more canned/frozen goods.
Tolietries.
Store goods (flour etc)

Thanks Campo your site sounds amazing and cannot wait until it is up and running I am new to the coupon thing and love the buzz I get when I use them! Cant wait to have more in every aspect. I dont think there are enough at all when you see what they do in America and they are for all the same products that we have here!

clodagh.dormer · 16-10-2012 3:54pm

Also for couponers out there on Facebook you can currently print a goodfella's pizza coupon when you like their page, unfortunatly this can only be printed twice. It is featured in the sponcered section of the news feed. There is also a Heinz soup one when you like their page it is a one time only coupon but as there are so few at the moment I thought I would post!

IrishGurll · 15-11-2012 10:08pm

Lads it's so sad the coupon thread has been abandoned , ,How are we going to get these companies to listen to the consumers and give us coupons , Last year this thread was flooded with coupons and there are none at all now

And have Y'all seen this http://www.supersavvyme.co.uk/tag/coupon I was fuming when I saw all these coupons when are they going to give coupons for Ireland they have said for like 2 years that they would still nothing its ridiculous.

snubbleste · 15-11-2012 10:11pm

Maybe the companies read boards and saw how the discussions veered towards 'abuse' of coupons.

Mccain coupon http://www.mccain.co.uk/
I'm not sure if this works because I have no ink at the moment but I selected the option to have it posted and it had an option for ROI so I'm assuming that it will come in euro

Dont think those fries are for sale here. Think the "Southern Fries" are only for sale in UK

ncur · 26-11-2012 11:47pm

They're listed on tesco's online shopping site

http://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=261202287

so if the coupon is valid for use in Ireland, great!

Emailed them before christmas on this and got this rubbish reply today :

"We appreciate your feedback on supersavvyme. We are investigating the possibility of making our coupons available in Euros.

If you have any further queries please come back to me.

Kind regards, "

So i wouldnt hold out a shred of hope !!:mad:

lazeedaisy · 18-01-2013 8:26am

Hi All,

I cant believe there are NO new coupons, I have searched facebook, the internet almost everywhere to no avail.

The last of my persil finishes the end of the month, using the robinsons and McCambridges ones only,

This is a shame,

Cal04 · 18-01-2013 12:49pm

really need comfort and persil ones too

Same here. Very little of whats around are of any use to me at the moment...at one stage i had loads of coupons each shop, these days i have none as all that i use have been taken off...so its back to aldi/lidl for my main shopping for me

stirliz · 20-01-2013 4:11pm

I agree too. Very little coupons to use

Robinsons & Plenty are good and still on offer in Tesco, but it looks that Aldi/Lidl are back to being the cheapest.

Daniel S · 22-01-2013 9:23pm

Can pigsback vouchers be used on Tesco.ie? I've one ready to be printed (my personal one) but would it be possible to use it online instead?

Only guessing, but you could give to driver, and have the value refunded to your card, like if you sent some items back with the driver.

hairyairyfairy · 15-04-2013 12:16pm

Tesco Maynooth over the weekend

Girl at self scan told me that I needed to go to regular till with coupons that they were changing policy

(recognised me as avid couponer, but was not using them on this occassion)

Don't know what will happen when I am in there before 8.00 am in the mornings as all manual tills are closed at that time

lazeedaisy · 15-04-2013 1:04pm

I know, I even wrote to PHS the crowd on the coupons - they did not even respond. I would have thought they would welcome us on board and use the group here as a test group for coupons,

back to the drawing board and see what i come up with,

I have nearly stopped shopping in Tesco - without coupons its too expensive now

alie · 17-04-2013 1:56pm

Just watched extreme couponing american style , I so want to move!:)

They haven't changed their policy yet.
Pigsback coupons are still accepted by the self-scan tills.

tesco's policy is now that you can use the coupons on the self scanning tills,one coupon per product at a time , if you have alot of coupons they recommend you to go to a manual till as after two coupons they get cranky

They usually accept two coupons after that you get red-lighted and need an assistant to proceed.

Pigsback have €1 off Comfort

Just have to wait patiently for it to go half price in Tesco or Dunnes now lol

In fact, €1.58 off currently until 21 May (also posted in couponing thread).

Tirabaralla · 21-05-2013 11:11am

Hello! Long time no see, I just recently went back looking into "serious" couponing and I found myself saddened by how not only the "Irish coupon scene" didn't get better but, instead, has worsened loads...wow, really hard to find any coupon at all outside Pigsback...
Is it only me having lost my hand at it or is it the actual situation?
Sigh Sob.

purplestar77 · 21-05-2013 11:41am

Its not just you Tirabella - I've stopped couponing altogether. The lack of coupons meant the time involved researching, printing, looking for offers etc for very little savings .... it just wasn't worth it for me.

My new way to save money on my family's shopping bill is:
1. order online with superquinn - I don't have to bring kids with me (yay!), I don't overspend on impulse buys, and I almost always have a promo code for money off or free delivery.
2. Supplement my main shop with lidl/aldi for alot of things and for fresh veg/fruit offers etc

Although my couponing days are over for now, I still have a good few bottles of Dettol spray in my shed, and my Persil liquid stockpile lasted me aaaages

munchbunch · 22-05-2013 12:40pm

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum,and was so excited by your enthusiasm at the beginning of this thread....but as I kept reading, the enthusiasm seemed to dwindle a bit. I'm really into couponing but let's face it, its never going to be like the States, but we can make the best of what we've got!!! Telling eachother of deals that are out there is such a fantastic idea!!! You guys (and me now! Yay!) have to keep searching and telling!!!! I've found a few sites that may help someone??? Ok,they're not fantastic deals but they may help someone..and good to keep an eye on???
Hope to hear from you

Hahaha, the good aul'times

We are close now to finish the "laundry room" stockpile, in the meanwhile we shopped more often in Lidl and online too.

Really I wish there was more opportunity to use coupons, this way the only way to substainable shopping, for us, is discount shops, in the long run, me thinks.
Let's hope something changes.

lazeedaisy · 29-05-2013 2:13pm

I miss the good old days too! ...sigh

I wrote to a lot of companies and none of them bother to respond, i even wrote to the crowd that looks after the pigsback ones - nada. I think that there is a good mix of people here and the offer could be to review products based on them giving us coupons, would a consideration as a group.

I still have a large stock pile of persil - but then, I am using less of it, I add water to make it go longer as i feel i use too much, the same with comfort

Still have loads of hand soap and Dettol, but had just run out of comfort and actually bought one bottle before Tesco had the special offer which i used with the coupon,

I use the McCambridges one for the bread,

But definitely miss the days when I hand over wads of coupons, what galls me is that the same companies offer the coupons in USA and I wrote to those larger ones who could not even have the decency to respond!

Ah well - off my high horse for now, Irish people hate coupons! :cool:

MoneyPlease · 06-06-2013 2:06pm

lots of good coupons on voucher pages, couple other site but best ive seen so worth checking it out www.voucherpages.ie
