Couponing

BredaB

Hi,
I'm new to this couponing and would love any advice on how to find best deals for household/everyday/shopping items.

I'm new too, but i find it extremely hard to find any online coupon offers except for pigsback, which never have a huge selection. The only good ones i get is from the stores mailing itself, they send me things i usually buy on occasions i get stuff i never buy but if i see a good deal and think i'll use it then i buy it. But then i only get that every few months! But i did get a good mailing of coupons the other week and its helping me out with my shopping this week and mostly on offer aswell so hopefully they take the coupons. I've worked out this weeks shopping which i usually spend 70-80 upwards not looking for deals or just throwing random stuff in. By just looking and doing the list from online and add up the cost i have gotten it down to 36 euro and thats for a good chunk of stuff. Very impressed with that! plus its less than i spend in lidl!

(What i have been doing is going onto shop sites that do home delivery, i check the deals they have and when its ending, and i get all the deals when i go shopping then, and if a product isn't on sale and i don't badly need it then i'll wait till it goes on offer if i can. Its quite time consuming but worth it with the savings you get from it.)

Hi Tinkerbell, the shop sites that do home delivery is a great idea, my Sunday morning is now planned for scouring the internet. I will post if I come across anything of interest.:cool:

My one huge tip is to never buy toiletries in supermarkets! Always go to boots or superdrug and buy in bulk when they're on deal. Even when they're not on deal it's rare that they're not cheaper than supermarkets. It's no harm buying your shampoo, deodrants, creams etc in bulk as you'll be using them anyways!

I find the euro shops (EuroGiant, Dealz) quite good for toiletries too, especially stuff like toothpaste which always seems to be way cheaper in the euro shops over Tesco for brands like Colgate, etc.

Also, if anyone uses Head and Shoulders shampoo, Tesco's own brand Pro Formula Anti Dandruff is nearly the exact same product and it's about €3 or €4 cheaper per bottle.

Yes I find the Euro shops fantastic too for these items, but I've found that you have to be really careful as most of the bigger stores like boots etc are aware of this now and have marked them under the Dealz/Euro Store Prices e.g €1.50 when on sale. You have to watch the prices and be aware of sizes of bottles etc.

Hi folks I was in my local aldi this evening and the couple ahead of me had what appeared to be aldi vouchers from a newspaper. I asked the checkout girl what paper they were from.. She said "oh one of the Sunday papers" anyone any ideas? I've done a google search and have found aldi uk have done vouchers in daily mail before but can't find anything for ROI. Anyone have any Sunday newspapers lying around to check? We've none..
