Thanks for any help.

My blinkies expired 4/30, so you might want to check yours.

IME, the full amount comes off, it usually beeps, but my cashiers just push it thru. I never do a really small OOP, though (I'm usually over $10) so that may affect my treatment.

HTH!!

Amy if you talk him into it let me know! I'm in Central Florida too

Thanks for your response. I was going to try and make a pitstop today, but didn't have a chance.

The blinkies I have don't expire until 8-30-09. These are new ones that are out right now in Publix. Just picked up a few more today while I was shopping there.

If the coupon is for an amount greater than the price, at BOTH of my Albertson's, it will beep. The cashier has to price adjust it down to the price of the item or it won't go thru. At one store, they will do this. At the other, CS says no, won't allow a coupon to be adjusted down or used if it is worth more than the price of the item. YMMV Granted, CS is very friendly and has even given me the name of the Director and practically begged me to contact him and complain about this policy. CS said Director is mandating not accepting coupons over price of item and not allowing adjusting down of coupon value. I have not contacted him yet.

The large 4 or 4.5 oz Hershey's bars are $1.25 this week and there was a $1 off coupon in the 4/19 Smart Source insert for the dark chocolate.

My blinkies don't expire until 8/30/09, either. Anyone had a chance to look and see if there are any good deals to be had using these coupons?

There are several items that are priced below $1.50 (cheapest I saw was $1.19) so you could get overage if your store allows that or just some free stuff if your store adjusts down your coupon.
