Coupons for February 2020!

Hello my beauties! I have been a bit quiet on my blog recently. I kind of use this platform to post the odd thing here and there.. Its defiantly not the most professional of blogs out there!

Anyways, I have decided to put together another available coupon list so its easier for you guys.

£1 off Andrex skin kind

50p off Biotiful

£1 off 1001 carpet cleaner

£5 off Oppo

£1.35 off little dish plant base meal

£1 off little dish finger foods

£1 off any little dish meal

Caringeveryday coupons

£1 off drynites & sample

These are the only printable ones I have been able to find today. The oppo coupons are not printable but they get sent to you through the post.

Cashback apps have seemed to have taken over the coupon world at the moment. I will be doing a blog post about what ones are about in the next few days.

I still highly recommend writing to company's saying how much you enjoy  there products as the usually send out coupons through the post. I know if you email rustlers burger they will send you a 50p coupon through the post.

Make sure you check out my youtube channel  for bargain related videos. I post my coupon trips / hauls and some family life. I recently had a premature baby and have posted a video about that as well.

updated coupon list JUNE 2019

follow me on instagram: yosammy1

Hello my savvy savers! Its been a while since i have posted an update on my blog! I have been posting on my instagram "yosammy" as well as my facebook page so please feel free to follow me there!

I have decided it was time for an updated coupon list here on my blog to get me in the swing of blogging again. I did mention on my twitter about my miscarriage and the stresses I have been facing in every day life and that all kept me away from social media. I will stop blabbering on now and here are the coupons:

Printable coupons:

50p off Rustlers burgers:
If you contact rustlers burgers through their website, they will send you a 50p coupon through the post just for leaving them a compliment. contact them here

Tesco magazine:
In this months FREE tesco magazine (that can be found in most stores) they have four coupons available: £1.00 off super glue, 40p off new york bagels, £1.00 off vegan magnums and 25p off jammie dodgers jam and yogurt snacks

I personally think coupons are a bit dry at the moment. My favourite places to get coupons was from the website supersavvyme and victoria, but they dont seem to be offering much at the moment.

If you would prefer to use cashback apps rather then coupons my favourites are:

  • green jinn
  • checkout smart 
  • shopmium
There are many cashback apps but those are my favourite. sometimes they offer freebies as well.

If you want a free jar of nutella from the app "shopmium" and havnt signed up yet, you can use my referral code: KYKFUFGN

Here is a video that i made 2 years ago, showing how to use cashback apps. I am thinking of doing an updated one at some point

Asda price guarantee!

Hello my super savvy savers!

On a previous Blog post, I mentioned how to earn money from receipts
today i am going to tell you how to get money off coupons to use in Asda from their store receipts!
 Asda offers a price match guarantee, but doesn't knock it off your shopping bill at the till. You have to go onto  THIS website and enter the bar code on your receipt. If your items are found cheaper in either: Waitrose, Tesco, sainsburys or morrisons you can print a coupon off with money back.

There are a couple of T&Cs you do have to follow though:

  • you have to purchase 8 items or more that can be compared to other retailers 
  • you have to wait 3 hours after your shop before entering the bar code
  • you need an Asda home shopping account (what is easy enough to set up)

As you can see in the very bad photo of mine above, I printed my coupon out. You must take your receipt with you with the coupon to be able to use it in stores. MY coupon is worth £1.19

Now i shall tell you a secret....

When i go to Asda i always look around the carpark as allot of people through their receipts on the floor....or leave them in trolleys..

I PICK THEM UP...

Once I have picked a few receipts up off the floor, I take them home and go onto the guarantee website and see if I can get any coupons from them. Now some people will quickly point the finger and come out with some saying like:

"ewww thats disgusting and your a cheap skate"

I personally disagree with this saying, as im sure people dont judge anyone who finds a £5 note and picks it up. Its kind of the same situation in MY opinion.

I do hope my blog post makes some sense and helps some of you. - If im honest I am finding it really hard to concentrate.

as always if you ever have any questions, please feel free to ask

stay savvy :)

Earn money from receipts!


How about I tell you that you can earn money from your receipts?
Sounds great dosnt it? especially if you love to shop like myself!

Most people throw their receipts in the bin or don`t bother taking the receipt from the sales assistant and have no idea you can actually earn some cash by keeping them and then uploading a picture of the receipt on to an App!

i know there are a few different apps out there that do this kind of thing, but today im going to tell you what app I use.



Receipt Hog is a free app that you can use on apple and android devices. It is very easy to use and you earn money for every receipt you take a photo of! how great is that!?

You also get to play "hog slots" for the chance to win extra pennies for  your account.

All the coins you earn, you can then trade for cash to be paid into either your paypal account or redeemed for Amazon gift cards.

What i personally love about this app, is that it is sooooo easy to use and you have nothing to lose!

Download app here - receipthog
use referral code - fled4323 for 5 free spins for "hog slots"

I have recently done a video on how to use "cash back apps" showing how you can claim back money on your food shopping and get free items!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! stay savvy!

£33.11 worth of shopping for £1.25!

Hello fellow money saving savvy beauties!

So on my latest coupon trip i managed to pick up £33.11 worth of goods for only £1.25! I had done the math before i left my house and worked out my total shopping list would only cost as little as 25p, but somewhere down the line i made a whoopsie! I did my shopping in Morrisons and Tesco and i think I got an item from the wrong supermarket.

Items i brought:

  • 2 x covent garden soup
  • pantene hair conditioner
  • Bold 2 in 1
  • bottle of flavoured Volvic water
  • bottle of lemon Lipton ice tea
  • Lenor fabric conditioner 
  • 1 box of Always Discreet
  • Princes tuna filler
  • 160 Typhoo tea bags
  • Flash multi surface cleaner
  • pack of Johnsons facial wipes
  • 1 small tin of pringles
  • Clean and Clear spot treatment
And i got all that for only £1.25!



I of course filmed this coupon trip as a few people asked for me to do another one. I am so happy that people enjoy watching my videos! I will post the video at the end of this blog post for you to see, but first i will post where i got all my coupons from as i get asked this allot!

Coupons can be found in magazines, newspapers and junk mail. A couple of websites also offer printable coupons, plus brands facebook pages sometimes post the odd coupon so you can try their product for free. Here is where i got my coupons from for all the items i purchased:

how to have fun for free!

most people think you have to spend lots of money when wanting to do things with friends and having a social life. I am going to tell you this in fact is not true! depending on what you and your friends/family enjoy doing, I am going to give you some tips on how to have a cheaper/free social life!

museums

allot of the time, most museums are free to look around what is great! I personally love looking around a good museum and seeing new things and learning. you could turn it into a great day out and even take a packed lunch/picnic so you wont need to spend money on food.
great hall, Winchester

some of my favourite museums close to me include:

curtis museum - Alton
Great Hall - Winchester
Bethnal green Museum of Childhood - London
Imperial War Museum - London

there are so many more museums that are free but these are just some of my favourites!

Bingo!

allot of the time when I tell people I love a bit of bingo, they picture me sat in a tiny little room surrounded by older women knitting and dabbing a little piece of paper and hoping to win £2 and a bottle off cheap wine. - this makes me laugh as Bingo is not like that at all.

im a member of Gala Bingo and its such a trendy fun environment to be in, full of mixed ages, great affordable food and fun games. - now the great thing about being a Gala Bingo member are some of the perks that go along with it. - they hand out coupons so you can get a free bingo book or sometimes a free meal! they also send offers through the post!

over Easter we all got given an Easter egg and a booklet of coupons to use over the following months for free bingo books! on st Patricks day we was given a free shamrock key ring and also a coupon for a free game for the next couple of weeks. - ALSO if you don't have coupons for books and don't fancy paying you can ask for the free complimentary books. you don't win as much with the free books but it still makes a fun competitive afternoon/evening out.

Nature walks

bluebells in the woods

maybe your the type of person that loves nature? or a person who loves walking and exploring? the great thing is we don't have to pay for a guided nature walk or pay out to use the Gym to go for a run as we have nature everywhere we can explore. im lucky as I live in a small town so I do have allot of woodland and fields by me.

if you have children you could make a fun little afternoon out by getting together a little picnic and making some fun work sheets to go through. you could print some pictures of the internet of things like: insects, wild animals, trees and flowers and get your little ones to do a check list of everything they find and see. maybe you could create a game where they have to see how many twigs they can collects in 6o seconds? see who can make the longest daisy chain? find animal foot prints?

if you don't have children and your a sporty type of person, go for a run through the woods and look at all the beautiful things nature has to offer! or ride your bike, or even just take a long walk with your dog and some friends!

coupons for meals

coupons surely are the best thing ever! did you know allot of food restaurants give you discount coupons just by filling out a short survey on their website about the service you received? or if you join there email list they send you discount codes or free food? here is a list of some websites that offer this:

Hungry horse
Toby Carvery
Frankie & bennys (download app for £10 discount)
Pizza express
Zizzi Italian resturants

there are plenty more food restaurants that also send you coupons and discount codes.

Animals

If you are an animal lover (like me) or have children then maybe you want to see some cute animals!
mill cottage farm experience - Holybourne

some farms let you look at there animals for free and let children feed the livestock what is always fun.

if you want to save some pennies and not go to a zoo you could take your children to see some farm animals! near me on the outskirts of my hometown Alton is a village called Holybourne and there is a smallholding run by a local family and they have a variety of animals to look at, with sheep, goats, donkeys, alpacas, pigs, geese and a few other animals. click here for the website

look out for your local areas that keep farm animals as allot of the time theres public footpaths that walk through the fields animals are kept. you could even go to a pond and feed the local ducks and swans!

depending on how big your local pet shop is, it could even be nice just having a look around to see all the rabbits, guinea pigs and fish :)


i am going to end this blog post here but i will do another one in the future. in the meantime please watch my video i did about a moth ago, having a free day out

COUPON QUEEN SAMMY HANCOCK

photo by CATERS news
over the past week you may have seen my face on some of the online newspapers.

including:

AOL money

METRO

DAILY MAIL

MIRROR

THE SUN

EXPRESS

DAILY STAR

i was happy to talk to a lovely journalist named Josh who contacted me about doing a story on my "extreme couponing" 

what I wasnt to happy with, was some of the story's making me sound like someone who sits at home doing nothing and claiming all the benefits under the sun. - I do how ever claim jobseekers as i was made redundant at Christmas 2015 from the company Clintons. -  Allot of people still think its wrong that i havnt found a job in just under two months but i do live in a tiny town call ALTON in Hampshire and we have to many houses and not enough shops for people to work in but thats another story for another day.....

I also just want to say that life hasnt been the best for me at the moment due to my Mother being rather ill and is recovering from a big operation where she has 150cm of her small intestine removed as well as half her large bowl and appendix as she suffers chronically from crones disease as well as numerous other conditions that affects her mobility and breathing.  - she has worked all her life and now is too poorly to work and NO she doesn't claim a single penny from benefits. - im not saying there is anything wrong with people who are sick or disabled claiming benefits, i just wanted to point out she doesn't receive any money what so ever. my Dad works full time and does allot of overtime and works stupid hours to help support her.


photo from CATERS


so now lets talk about my obsession with extreme couponing!

I actually have been couponing for a while now and even did when i worked as why would you want to pay more on every day essentials when you can pay less! it gives me more money to splurge on yankee candles and what ever else I wish to buy. I must admit, i do get such a buzz from couponing!

i have a very addictive personality! when something makes me feel happy i become a bit obsessive. Its all part of my brain being rather un balanced and part of my personality. - Its not really the time to talk about my brain activity and i shall leave that for another day :)

The worst thing I did was read all the hate comments on the websites about me. i let most of it just slip over my head, but i guess the odd comment did upset me. People was so quick to judge me when they dont even know me, know my background or know my story. \Everyone does it and im not saying im perfect as I guess i have done the same before.

I guess i wanted to do this blog post to kind of say dont judge others. Everyone in life is going through some struggle that we dont know about, and no one sees what happens behind closed doors. we dont have the right to judge anyone as we are all equal in this world. NO ONE is better than someone else just because they are dripping with diamonds. Always remember money does not defy who a person really is. Materialism will not help us grow spiritually.

UK couponing!

hello to you all!

today i wanted to share with you my first couponing experience in tescos.
ive always been one to use a coupon here and there and always search for bargains, but i had never actually tried doing a small food shop by using coupons.

i started thinking "why pay more when you can pay less?"

i follow a couple of bargain hunt and coupon facebook pages and blogs, but the person to really inspire me was a lovely lady named holly smith who not only posts to her facebook and website, but is also a fellow youtuber such as myself.

holly has been seen in the press a few times and tv shows. she is what i like to call an extreme couponer and saver. her tips and tricks are helping me save money and find the greatest bargains out there!
one night this week i decided i was actually going to try and get a cheap food shop. i went on hollys website and found some of the latest coupons as well as the website supersavvyme and printed a few off!
i went to tescos and picked up a milkshake, cheese, goats milk, soup, laughing cow cravings and tescos mixed herbs for £1.40.

i used the coupons:

  • 30p off shaken udder
  • £1.00 off goats milk
  • £1.00 off covent garden soup
  • £3.00 off tesco finest cheese
  • £1.00 off laughng cow mini cravings
  • £2.00 off a tesco transaction
my shopping roughly came to £10.00 and i got it for roughly £1.50

i got such a buzz out of couponing and im defiantly going to take it more serious in the future! maybe i will get really good at it so i can donate food to the people who really need it.

here is the video i recorded whilst shopping. please excuse the child like excitement



17 Jul 2012

i like to buy things from time to time....

okay so i happen to like buying things from time to time. i dont ever get to go shopping much as i live in such a small town that has basically just supermarkets.

i went to basingstoke shopping at the weekend and brought some bits and bobs and everything i got i think was bargains!

i love the shop lush and when you walk in everything just smells amazing! i couldn't afford much but i was happy with the two products i purchased.



yesterday i went into superdrug and defiantly got a great deal and saved alot of money!!!
as you can see from the photo on the right hand side i brought my shampoo and conditioner and six boxes of hair dye!  the hair dye is usually £5.49 each! they have a deal in there at the moment where you can buy 3 boxes for £10! the best thing is that my sister works there so i am able to get discount as well! if i had purchased this with no offers it would of come to about £43 instead of the £19.22 i paid!!! crazy huh?



on another note i think i have become a little tiny weeny incy bit obsessed with instagram at the moment! this is because my friend from youtube (thetreverpitts) kept talking about it in his videos so i thought i would download the app to see what all the fuss was about. i think its safe to say that i may just live there! if anyone wants to follow me on there my name is lambarini
