I just got back from Kuhn's in Pittsburgh (the one on Banksville Rd). Went in for specific items - some I had internet coupons for the items. They have a sign that says that they only take face value on internet coupons. Now that I know that I will watch and not use them there. I ended up spending five dollars more than I expected there because of the coups. I was able to find MFG coupons in my file that I could substitute or it would have been more of a difference. I said that it was a $5 difference from what I expected to say and the clerk said "well you got a lot of stuff for that $19 so you should be happy with that..." I told the clerk and the bagger that I work very hard at couponing to save money to feed my family on a 30% pay cut. I told them it is totally justifiable and that they get the money back for the coupons from the MFG. The clerk said only the face value to which I said but that is your ploy (the doubles) to get shoppers in there. It was not a heated discussion nor was there any malice on either side. They were still very nice but I just dont like that attitude that I should be happy with what they will give me on my coupons. Know what I mean? I am not trying to get over on anyone but I am trying to maximize my savings.
The clerk at Wags today gave me a hard time and said something to the same effect when she took the coupons off the wrong way and the wags coups wouldnt work right. This clerk is usually pretty nice and I think she was having a bad day.
