The supermarket savings thread

Thanks, I always carefully check through for vouchers in the local shop before purchasing a few, then get the rest in town to avoid clearing the village shop out. The 31st will give use more time to clear out freezer space (but oh dear, the blackberries are coming!).

I'm eyeing up the whole sea bream or bass (prefer the bream as I don't think farmed bass have much flavour) on special offer @ 2 for £5, so buy 4 for £5.40 (1.35 each). I freeze the heads for prawn netting whilst on seaside hols.

 

How you fixed with Lidl,£5 off £40 tomorrows Daily Express.

I normally wait until these coincide with a weekend cheese offer to get the cost per Kg below/around £3.

 

The vouchers are in The Sun today. Morrisons have changed the T&C from one per transaction for the last coupon (so you could split into multiple shops with dividers at the checkout) to one per customer (which will mean whatever they decide/make up on the day).

They are also stopping anybody from buying more than one copy of The Sun instore! They have even set their tills to prevent multiple copies being bought. A staff member told me it was to stop people buying lots of them just to get vouchers and get lots of money off. So just buy them somewhere else, go when it's busy and use different checkouts for each shop.

Do they really believe that somebody would actually buy loads of copies of The Sun in order to get loads of money off at Morrisons?

 

I noticed a while ago that multi-save deductions are now coming of the bill when buying reduced stuff at Morrisons, and this receipt clearly shows how it works. Celery is 69p or 3 for £1.50, a 57p multi-save. Buy 3 packs of celery reduced to 19p each, so 57p but less the 57p saving = £0.00/nil/nothing to pay/free (my favourite price!)..

N.B. Unless you're buying some other stuff go through the self scans when doing this.

Fruit and veg this weekend, no terms and conditions yet, Tesco were honouring the Morrisons voucher last weekend, wonder if they will do the same for this, probably will depend on t&c.

 

@pamsdish
I think that one is showing it's spam but not sure

 

@pamsdish That post on HUKD has now been deleted as spam. This is a link to Google's cached copy of the thread http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/5-off-fruit-veg-morrisons-sun-1968961 and this is where it's now on HUKD http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/5-off-fruit-veg-morrisons-sun-1968961 (posted both links as may be different - haven't checked)

 

@Jiffy - see above post for new link

 

I use Lidls It is just down the road, unbeatable for meat, and very fresh veggies and own brand cleaning stuff, Lucky to have two local bakers to choose from. Also a local butcher bit pricey but his packs of miss shape bacon are good value, and bacon hocks, I don't buy processed foods of any kind except dog food....Re Aldi do not like their stuff much but they do sell west country butter and decent cheese.

 

I thought it's only a few selected Tescos that are (again) accepting competitors' money off coupons. In the good old days you could give them a £5 off £30 for Sainsburys, another £5 off for Morrisons, another £5 off for Aldi/Lidl, one of their own £5 off £30 (and even another one of theirs like a £3 off £20) + a few other bits and pieces from mailings/newspapers and get your shop for virtually nothing, then go back instore, hand over an identical batch of vouchers and get yet another virtually free shop.

But still perhaps not as good as when Sainsburys accepted Tesco Clubcard vouchers, so we'd spend them online using the codes to get 4 times the value for 'deals' (now known as 'boost') then take the paper vouchers into Sainsburys and spend them again at face value! Shame they stopped that when they realised what was happening.

 

It's on! Vouchers on page 18 of The Sun for £5 of free fruit & veg. HUKD certainly made a hash of things marking that post as spam.

P.S. Check you Tesco Clubcard mailing (or online to print off if not received yet) because they issued 25p off any newspaper vouchers that could be used 4 times, so it's off to Tescos for The Suns @ 15p each, then on to Morrisons for the free fruit & veg. I fully expect Morrisons to be restricting sales of The Sun to one per person again.

 

I have my copy, I will be going to Tesco either today or tomorrow, so unless I can redeem in Tesco I cannot use it.
Now I no longer have the car it`s a 2 hr trip with 2 buses either way to Morrisons, I went for the meat last week, also Carte Noir was on special, and I was down to last jar but one.

 

Here's how we did it, went to Tescos bought 4 Suns + plus 2 of another product that costs £1.60 and has a multisave if buying 2, so free products + money off the other shopping and used the 25p off newspapers 4 times, so our £4.50 shop was reduced to 10p but we also got 7 Clubcard Points, so pretty much free shopping as we only ever use them at a minimum rate of 2x for doubling up. Then repeat again, and again and again (this is where multiple Clubcard Accounts for multiple mailings/vouchers comes in handy).

Went to Morrisons and used 4 of the vouchers to get £20 worth of fruit and veg. for nothing. Got 12 more vouchers left to use by Sunday. It was a bit of a struggle using the 30 vouchers we got for the last promotion and there's lots more stuff coming from the plot now.

So that's how you get £100's worth of shopping for 12p.

 

Two things:

1) Another example of Morrisons multisaves working with reduced stuff - packs of muffins @ 85p/pkt or 2 for £1 selling at a r duced price of 45p each (2 for 90p) doesn't sound like much of a reduction (5p/pkt) but the full multi-save kicks in, getting them down to 10p/pkt.



2) Try me free cat food at Morrisons



All it will cost you to donate a 6 pack of cat food to your local cat charity is a 2nd class stamp.
