2 pks of big al's spicey goujons 5.99 reduced to 2.99 coupon for 1 =1.99
2 boxes of Kellogs mini munch BOGOF @ 3.45 Coupon for 1 = 1.23 each

Irishchick

Awesome. Well done!

Thats great savings you got there. Especially on the expensive items like Comfort and Big Alls. Can I ask where you got the Nivea Coupons from?

I got an email from supervalu asking to take part in an online Form this evening at 8pm. It will take 1 hour and I will get a 20 euro voucher for participating. Im hoping to head into SV then and get some serious bargains!

Ya the big als are great they will keep us going for awhile, I wish I had a bigger freezer, I got the Nivea vouchers in the dunnes easter mailout. I went to get the big als and comfort and walked around with the mailout coupons and it ended up nearly everything was on offer. How.did you get on the panel for that survey?

Tippex

Good Job.

Though its gonna be a long time before anyone gets to the extreme couponing you see in the states.

I spent Bank Holiday Monday going around SV, Tesco and Dunnes. Didnt get the amount of bargains you got though !
I got an email from Supervalu last week with 2 vouchers (one for this week- one for last week) offering me 15 euro off a 75 euro spend.
This email is in conjunction with Eumom - these are the baby packs that you can get if you fill out a form and bring it to your Supervalu store. You give them in a completed form and they give you baby pack i.e. wipes, dettol, Colour Catcher etc... a few samples. I think this is how they got my name for the consumer forum. Got email on Monday asking if Ill take part inthe Forum.

Also if you order your Supervalue shopping on line you will get an extra 10 euro off your first order. No code needed

Hi Lady Pip
when did you get your Dunnes Value Club Mail Coupons. I havent got my ones yet for Easter - Did you get them long ago?

ladypip

Sparkle spark I got them two weeks before Easter, so its been months you should ring their customer care and ask them where your vouchers are.

uli84

i never get them either:( maybe dont have enough points...

I thought the same when I didn't receive mine at Christmas but I called their Customer Service and they explained that they only send out Dunnes Value-club Vouchers once a customer reaches 400 points on their card.

Hope this helps.

uli84

thx, yeh im pretty sure i don't have 400 points since last mailing

Hi Ladypip,
can I ask you which store you bought the Johnsons and the Comfort in.

Thanks

derek2222_ie

Most of the coupons say 1 per purchase. Are they not too strict on this or are people going through the checkout multiple times?

LavaLamp

derek2222_ie - if it says "one per purchase" then you can buy however many you want of the item with coupons in one go. It is the "one per transaction" coupons that mean you are limited.

Hope that makes sense, it's a lot more difficult to put into words than I thought LOL!

One coupon per purchase is generally considered the same as One coupon per item.
