    Are coupons ever done for own-brand stuff?

    I've often found that even with the Pigsback coupon, the own-brand is significantly cheaper than it's branded equivalent?

    This:
    http://www.killeenhousehold.ie/voucher-form.htm

    I don't know if the voucher is supposed to arrive to you in e-mail or postal form, but I thought I'd give it a try.

    It arrives by email after a while and it's the same coupon for everyone, here's a link directly to the coupon: <snip at request by Killeen>

    Not usually due to the already cheap price, keep an eye on the brand's facebook page for coupons if they ever come :)

    Let's say that if you team the coupons with in store offers usually u can beat the ownbrand and then it makes senso to use the coupons. I, personally, aim to a 50% less than the original price.

    That Killeen coupon is very generous. If anyone sees Killeen on offer over the next few months, post it up.

    There's a section on their website where they list whatever deals the supermarkets are doing. There's a few products on offer in Superquinn at the moment.

    Totally agree with earlier posts on combining deals to make the best savings.
    At the weekend I bought two packs of Big Als burgers, priced at €3.19 each the cost comes to €6.38.
    1. They were on offer at 2 for €5 so down to €5 straight away
    2. I used two €1 off vouchers per earlier coupon post on this thread to bring the cost down to €3
    3. I then used the current Tesco 'exchange clubcard vouchers' for double value which effectively means I got them for half price at €1.50

    So full cost of €6.38 down to net cost of €1.50, 76% off;)

    First experiment ever for me, in SuperValu this afternoon and I saved a good 75% on ketchup, mayo, liners, and bath/body wash. I am soooo pushed to try more :D

    Until next saturday you can use Hellmanns mayo range coupons, Heinz Ketchup coupons, Carefree Coupons and Johnsons Baby coupons in Supervalu as these products are already on offer there and it is convenient.

    Damn, it won't print properly for me but I think it's a problem on my side because it saved fine; when I set it to print the bottom bit with the barcode won't print:confused:

    Molzer2, try right clicking on the coupon when you open it, select Copy Image and paste it into a Word doc.

    You might need to resize it by clicking on a corner and dragging it but it should print ok from Word.

    is it wrong that i used two of these vouchers in one shopping trip today... (in two different shops - tesco for big shop and my local centra) and they worked no problems. Ive bin bags for the next two year id say!

    I used coupons which in total knocked 36 euro from my bill today in tesco, (mainly a mix of pigs back/tesco/ and vouchers from the net) and mainly for things we would get each week anyways.

    One of the best ones today was the comfort coupon on pigback... for one euro off any comfort product. There was 1.5ltrs of comfort conditioner reduced from 3.99 in tesco to 1.99 this week and the coupon was for 1 euro, so i got it for 99 cent! happy days.

    Look for the tab in your printer properties to uncheck the fit to page print - that was my problem.

    Best voucher ever... I printed out loads of these earlier this year. Having the barcode is great for the self-scan at Tesco. Buy a cheap/on-offer Killeen product & voucher still scans & takes €5 off the bill (it used to before anyhoo). Havent tried in a few months though

    hi, Can i ask do you scan the barcode of the item after you scan your product through, or just hand in all barcodes/coupons at the end of the shop....

    Oh and another one

    say you handed in a coupon eg for the pigsback coupon 75 cent of ketchup... but hadn't bought the ketchup will it still take the 75 cent off total bill????

    Normally, i hand them over at the end as it deducts from your total... thats the way its done in most stores i use...

    and you would have to purchase the item for the coupon otherwise it wont deduct from the total bill at all. (relative works in a large supermarket - so am informed).

    I think it's better to hand in the coupons just before paying but hand in your loyalty scheme card before hand so that the first, "fuller" total get's registered on the card.
    Do I make sense?

    You only earn points on the total of your bill. so say you had 100 euro of goods, then 10 euro worth of vouchers, you only earn points on the total which is 90 euro. it does not matter if you scan your clubcard before/middle/ or at the end... it makes no difference, its what your final total is, is what you earn points on.

    That's not true for Tesco.

    Pigsback is yer only man for coupons. Every so often you'll find a gem.

    Use this crowd quite a bit aswell, printable restaurant offers, lots of 50% off ones.

    Bubblegum.ie is also ok for coupons.

    Saved about €18 with coupons today. Thanks to the OP, all the other posters and the Super shoppers facebook page. Going to continue using coupons, there are loads coupons available for things I would normally buy anyway, don't know why I didn't use them before. The Killeen ones are particularly good, think I will be printing off a few more of them and stocking up on bags and cloths.
    (To print out the killeen voucher I just copied and pasted to word and then printed it out, should have put two on the page but never thought of it at the time)

    Meant to add that I used the €1.50 Pigsback Vanish voucher for the Vanish In wash liquid currently on offer for €1.57. The voucher is for another product in the range but I gave it a shot anyway and it worked! 7 cent not too bad:) The Dettol spray is also half price at €1.97 with the €1 off voucher from pigsback it works out at 97c:)
    From Memory other things that vouchers are available for and are also on offer are the big als quarter pounders, Helmans, Comfort.

    Also Kileen have a version of them colour catchers for €3.50 which will be covered by the voucher, going to pick more of them up later and some more black bags!

    Went on a specific trip for couponable stuff, all in, bought €27.09 worth of goods, dettol, comfort, binbags etc. Included in that is some beer for €6. Because I was using Killeen coupons & wanted to bulk up the shopping.

    Total amount payable came to €5.09. Checkout assistant & lady behind me were amazed.

    Got the coupons here & at facebook.com/bubblegum.ie

    That beer is gonna taste so, so sweet :)

    Don't say. Those who know use them sparingly, last thing we need is a whole bunch of people jumping on & ruining it. If you coupon regularly, you'll know by now.

    As an aside, I now have enough laundry detergent & fabric conditioner for 424 washes (yes I added them up) which cost me about €25 in total over a number of weeks. We do about three washes a week so that's me done for the next 2.75 years

    Going to do the same myself over the next few weeks and stock up on killeen stuff too. Wish I had got into this couponing lark years ago! My boys were tres embarrassed when they saw me with my vouchers at the checkout earlier but tres impressed when the total came to €5.88 after using them:cool:
