  • There's a thread at the top of this section of the forum with links to printable coupons and another for discussing coupons and their use to help you out
  • Thanks Browntoa
    Anyone have any fantastic photos to share?
  • sorry but genuine couponers/ moneysavers won't post here
  • MSE Zorica - is this not the same unnecessary thread that MSE Andrea has created. The genuine people who use coupons correctly to purchase items they need or want, will not post stash photos on here. No one in their right mind will want to admit to exploiting a coupon, and potentially jeopardising coupon use in the future.
    Either you guys need to turn the aircon up as too much heat has gone to your heads at MSE Towers, or you have too much time on your hands. Surely if you spent time reading the threads you are supposedly in charge of you would see that there are already threads for coupons, that coupons are becoming lesser and lesser, and that stores are clamping down enough on coupon use, without you guys making it harder
  • Yay more encouragement of selfishness, greed, buying loads of things you don't want/need and hoarding.
  • I make it a policy to go through life not upsetting people but I'm breaking it:
    the idea behind this thread smacks of sensationalist, tabloid journalism.
    Anyone who has ever legitimately used a coupon knows how they are regarded by the supermarkets in this country and anyone who even glances at the coupon boards for more than two seconds know how it is virtually impossible to obtain one coupon let alone the fifty or so required by the "bargain hunter" in the picture at the top of the thread! Extreme couponing in this way simply does not exist in this country, yes there are glitches that might yield spectacular hauls for some people but they do not use handfuls of coupons at the checkouts!
    Unpopular thread in the making!
  • OMG I saw Andreas other thread but this take the biscuit! You want pictures of peoples stashes! Do you want to know what you'll get on here? You'll get proper couponers saying its the worst idea ever and then you get trolls later on tonight and the whole thread will erupt! I agree I think you are all overheating at MSE towers!
    Actually thinking about it are you trying to compete with a few other well known FB groups that regularly post up pictures of stashes?
  • Again as i said on the other thread created of this type but in less words and more to the point threads like this are Stupid the encourage greed and coupon abuse.
    I will not be contributing here either, Awful decision made i may just start calling MSE, 10 ways 2.0
  • Andrea - encouraging people to show stockpiles of goods, bought from couponing is such a bad idea. Supermarkets and manufacturers do not want this sort of thing and will close every loophole as quickly as they possibly can.
    The coupons available are not meant for extreme couponers, they are meant for very average normal shoppers who are happy to get Ј2 or Ј3 off their Ј120 weekly shop.
    Please think again about this thread, it is probably the quickest way to get couponing loopholes closed down.
  • omg mse determined to kill couponing how many staff are gonna try and sneak this thread see all the negative comments on the other one
  • I agree with everybody elses views, this is crazy, I've just started thinking about using coupons as our circumstances have changed, I've spent time reading the various threads on here by genuine people and doing research and thank everyone for their contributions but as far as I can see all this thread will achieve is new people walking in looking at the stash photos and then walking back out to go and exploit the coupons which then the companies wont want to issue anymore and if companies see these photos its not going to have a positive outcome! Genuine people who use coupons put the time and effort into it.
    I love MSE it has saved me lots of money and guidance and been nothing but positive but if this is the way it's going to go I might as well be reading a well known trashy newspaper!
    If I did have stashes I wouldn't post on here and would be less inclined to share any coupons I came across.
  • I think it's a great idea, here's part of my coupon stockpile
  • i think you are encouraging people to take advantage of coupons and abuse them so you can get some good pictures. of greedy stashes i thought this site was to help people that needed it some people rely on these coupons to help with their weekly budget, when they have been stopped how is it going to help the people that really need it.
    SHAME ON YOU......
  • YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!
    WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WILL TELL YOU Errr maybe Hasland if you people "MSE mod" have not banned him ages ago
  • This site stopped being about helping people when it sold out to Money Super Market. The people who use the forum still help each other but the newsletters from Martin are self promotion tools for MSM - see latest one where first one says to use the website then to supposedly add balance "if time use Confused.com".... Really disapointed and angry about the multiple threads now trying to bring out the greedy. What's the point of this one when we have https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...1#post62505345
  • Why don't we have an extreme coupon for charity challenge? No one needs 50 bars of chocolate, 200 toblerones and 500 chocolate oranges but a food bank would
  • Another poster who thinks this is a stupid idea.
