Chit Chat 11/19- 11/25

I am going to have my Giant Eagle order the energizer batteries for me. So I am not worried about the stock at all. I order things from them all the time, and besides the customer service girlies thinking I am crazy, they don't seem to mind it at all. I had them order me 200 ginger bread cookie pouches and 50 cookie sheets for the childrens church group I am involved in. When I asked the store manager if he would order me THAT many, he looked at me kinda funny and said "knock your self out!" I have talked to the store manager about it, and he likes the increased sales volume my purchases bring because that is the metric by which he is measured. Plus he said they recover the cost of the discount and coupons from manufacturer reimbursement, and for charging for shelf and ad space, so they are not losing money and at the same time they are increasing sales volume. A manager understands that, and should welcome your order. The only thing NOT recovered is the cost of the doubling, but they still usually don't lose money on coupon deals.

Do you know if the Medina GE will accept SmartSource IPs? (in other words the IPs without the extra barcode that the Bricks have)

Yep they accept them for me all the time.

[keleetz]

Good to know! Now I know where to take my Libbys and Dimetapp IPs for this week.

I know there was some talk earlier regarding the different stores' policies on amounts of like coupons accepted per transaction and limits on doubling Q's. FYI, if anyone shops at Wadsworth, and was wondering, I just called CS and they said that they don't have any limits.

[micheller126]

ugh....I can't wait for my coupons to come...I want to shop!! We use a lot of the popcorn and kids love the hot choc and of course I want my house to be clean and smell good and I don't have any veggies (gasp) This week I can really use the bargains and can really stock up now that I have my new kitchen and tons of space.

Oooo...I only have 25 in Steeler bucks too, so I'm looking forward for more of them!!!!

[pittsburgh24]

did anyone get the .55/1 Post cereal q in their 10/11 SS? I looked in mine and couldn't find it (of course, I should have looked on Monday)
