Thanks for all the links the thread is great. I dont have any new ones to offer though sorry.

I was wondering if anyone knew any newspapers or magazines that are good for coupons???

Also this thread should be a sticky!

brightkane

I dont actually buy a paper so would be intested in the answer also.


Has anyone every written to big companies asking for samples or vouchers and how did u get on?

I would be interested to know this too. Also where do you guys keep your coupons. Mine are stuffed in an envelope at the minute but Id like a better place.

I havent seen any of those card holder sheets like the extreme couponers use??

3. i am getting the coupon holders for Xmas from my sister (she does not know it yet) but they can be ordered on ebay.com, not available in ebay.ie or .co.uk

I sent off an email to Gillette a few months back and they sent me back a product voucher as a thank you for feedback about their razors.

I was just thinking that the other day. I had seen coupons in the Irish Sun before, I think they were for use in Dunnes. Not sure if they do that anymore though.

If anyone knows any papers or magazines providing coupons please share with us here.

Its a thread that stays at the top of the forum even if people have not posted in it for a while. It makes the thread easier to find.

I don't normally buy papers either, but they do have coupons from time to time. I've seen a €1 off Cif, €1 off Surf recently in The Star.

Don't think we have enough coupons to justify a coupon holder.

Irishchick

coupon for a free can of coke today in the star newspaper. See if you can get some spares at th end of the day as most newsagents only send back the top of the front page.

Only valid for today so be quick! one per person so if you want more than one get your friends to go in for you

Irishchick

Irish Pride in tesco until the 6-9-2011
Centra will take the Irish Pride coupon as it is not a pigsback coupon, it is between Irish Pride and the store which stocks it directly and so can be used in ANY store

Irishchick

80c off any hellmans mayonaise. Vailid until september 30th.

There are already 3 stickies in the forum and that's the limit. Anyway, as long as people keep posting coupons in it it will stay on the front page.

I have this thread in my Favorites, so it doesn't matter to me where it is

You could do the same and never have to look for it again in this forum

brightkane

Anyone get the papers today and if so any vouchers ?

Ive been reading and supporting this thread since it started earlier this year and at the start it was great... few quid off here, few quid off there... but it now seems that the same 10 or so coupons (mainly pigsback ones) are constantly repeated again and again and the odd one for the likes of 25cent off (WTF?) are posted on the likes of FB. I rarely check this thread nowadays, as it is all just discussion with the same coupons repeated again and again.

Unfortunately, the major suppliers here will never be like the ones in the US as seen on the likes of "extreme couponing" on tv. There will honestly never be a day here in Ireland where any of us will be able to get our weekly shopping for under a euro.

But,

We can dream... and this thread is handy every so often... but as for it to be a sticky? - just not enough coupons in Ireland and so, not enough coupons in the coupon thread

I've done it.
I actually got Tesco Maynooth to pay me close on 20 quid to bring away a trolley of groceries- and a significant number of the items were not covered by coupons (though I have to qualify this by admitting that this was back when you got any item that you were overcharged on, free). My wife was embarrassed as hell- but it was a legitimate weekly shop and it saved us about 120 Euro.

Nowadays- even in Superquinn- I get at least 20 Euro off a 100 Euro shop- while only buying items I need and had intended to purchase. I also got a tenner in clubcard points from them today- related to a baby event they're running (curiously Superquinn are significantly cheaper than most other supermarkets on baby food- equivalent on nappies and more expensive on wipes- but this varies from week to week, so it makes sense to shop around). Centra's tenner a box for Pampers Active Fit size 4 and 5 are on my hitlist for tomorrow.......

Tesco have big boxes for 15 at the moment babydry afaik

hairyairyfairy

if centra only accepted pigsback they would be hard to beat on the weekly offers, Persil 25 wash for 3.77, brill price
i got free shop last week as well, for every 2 comfort ironing water i didn't pay for i also got a 800g sliced pan!!
i also got a trolley full of weetabix once as i spotted a possible pricing error and asked a manager who was beside me who assured me that it would be correct at the till and when it was wrong at the till, i went back and filled the basket and went from the till to customer service, what could they do? the manager assured me it would be priced correctly at the till so i got them free!
while i agree that coupons are hard to come by and are for very little, it still makes a huge difference to me at least when i consider that i would buy a box of washing powder for E8 and now by watching the BOGOF and the coupons i can get the same box for E2 then i am still ahead

Fully agree

Couponing is not that common in Ireland :rolleyes: I doubt there is hole lot people using them.
Even I Thought it to be bit embarrassing at first

God, I'd have to disagree, in Tesco with the clubcard vouchers and the extra points vouchers and the baby club and wine club vouchers, many people are used to handing over a pile of vouchers at the end of the shopping.

They're should be no fuss, the cashier should just scan each voucher and ask the customer for the revised total.

Though, I would never use a voucher in a centra / spar local shop, as I would presume they dont accept them, or they'd have to OK it woth the owner.
