Looking for coupons in the UK? Check your magazines!

Flipping through my Weight Watchers magazine, I found so many great coupons on diet foods.  It was a strong reminder that looking for bargains shouldn't be solely left to the internet.

While the UK's coupon industry doesn't quite compare to the mega-machine which operates in the US, the UK newstrade issues more than 4.9 billion coupons valued at a whopping £7 million pounds. But only 635 million are redeeemed.  Nearly 40% of these can be found within newspapers and magazines, rather than circulars.

Speaking to friends and family, I've begun compiling a list of magazines which regularly offer money off coupons on groceries, goods and services.  I'll aim to update this from time to time. One word of warning: the younger women's magazines are your best bet for coupons for savings on health and beauty products, including makeup and perfume. For your household shop turn to publications like Prima and Best.

The list so far:

Best
Weight Watchers
Prima
Marie Claire
Red
Asda magazine
Morrison's magazine
Sainsbury's magazine
Tesco magazine
Waitrose Food Illustrated

If you have any you'd like to add to my list, please add them by commenting on this blog.

Thanks!
