I voted yes because they are so useful for saving money but they are not always a freebie.

Off course they are useful who dosen't want to save money where possible?

I see MOC's as a freebie:
If you were going to buy the said product in any event i.e. the product would be a regular puchase and are exchanging a bit of paper for say 50p then I see that as a free 50p, since I, nor most people I would venture, are not in the habit of buying products they do not want or have any use for? I suppose you could say you've laundered a bit of paper in exchange for a free 50p? Whatever your view you are 50p to the good.

MSE is, and always will be, the definitive guide to MOC's - Money Off Coupons.
Just occasionally, I or other members, may find a new coupon before it actually appears on MSE.

We have flogged this to death now, the upshot of discussions is now we are having a vote, possibly an AGM to t.b.a. since this has become such an important issue and source of irritation to some members I obviously will abide by what is decided but I still think hardly worth another separate forum for reasons given 2 volumes back.

...... Surely the question should have been

Do you want a separate coupon forum?
and not in such a posed in such a prejudicial manner to which the answer would doubtless be yes.


.... Just an update due to recent upheavals of some free money you may of missed which would normally have been posted in the dreaded Freebie Forum:

Too many times people on forums have pointed out "that is not freebie because you have to buy the magazine or whatever to get the freebie" and variants on that theme. Hence having them in another section does stop that.

And if they were all posted in a coupon forum then nobody would miss them

Ok, here it is. Let's see how it works out
