Extreme Couponing, from Martin Lewis

Extreme couponing. Tricks to save £100s on groceries


Forumites LOVE American TV show Extreme Couponing, where people go hardcore to stockpile £1,000s of freebies. Sadly, US stores are more generous than here, but many of their techniques can be used to boost the deals in Blighty. To celebrate the new series (starts Monday on Discovery Real Time - see exclusive clips), here's a basket of new coupons, and a plea for your top tips.

£1 off yogurts, pesto & more. Download instant click 'n' print coupons, eg, £1 off Plum yogurts, £1 off Sacla pesto, 50p off Blue Dragon curry paste. Then redeem them at Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons etc. See a full, updated list in the Supermarket Coupons deals note.

 Max your coupons. Even though our stores are less generous, you can still take inspiration from stateside coupon addicts. For example, look for coupons on already-discounted products, as they'll work out uber-cheap (search comparison site mySupermarket* to identify top bargains). Draw up a coupon battle plan before hitting the store, and systematically file coupons in a concertina folder, splitting into sections such as meat or veggies.

We want your tips and tales. We'd love to hear MoneySavers' (legal) Extreme Couponing UK tips and stories. Please tell us what you've saved on and what's been a waste, and how you grab maximum value from couponing. Add yours to the Great 'Extreme Couponing UK' Hunt.
