Do you use fillers w/ freebies?

[texxie]

Take this week for instance, the tostino rolls are free. I'm going to have to do multiple transactions to use up all my q's. I literally don't need anything but those. When getting freebies, do you get fillers? Do they give you grief if your total is 0.00? lol

Yes I use fillers because my Kroger is picky and I do not want to draw attention to my couponing ways...I can always use milk. Or I just buy a banana or an apple.

yeah, that's true. it's just so weird for me to literally not need one single thing LOL i guess i'm doing something right. could always stock up on the chicken noodle..tis the season and all.

Nope, I'll go in daily to just pick up my freebies & they could care less

[texxie]

no there you go! pulling me in the other directionVERY cool that you can do that, no questions asked. I think in my store, it would depend on who's working the self check.

speaking of fillers though....what are everyone's faves?

I used to try to have at least a $1 oop but could care less anymore if they look at me funny. I went to Tom Thumb with my 20 Snapple $1/1 q's I received in a trade. It was all I got and the cashier was scanning the last one shaking his head when he realized it was going to be $0.00. Then he gave me my receipt and said "Good job!" I did get nervous a bit but didn't make myself get a filler. :)

I love to go in for just freebies. The looks and comments from cashiers and other customers are priceless.

I go get freebies only at Albies or Tom Thumb all the time, but only because they have higher regular prices so if it's not a great deal I already need, then it's a waste of money. It seems that I've only had a zero at kroger once by accident, but only because I was using an oyno so it seemed ok?

Anyway, I always need something, and krogers has the best prices for non-sale stuff so I'm always getting regular stuff too, or cheap stuff like the barilla pasta.

NOOOOOOPEEEE....unless I was gonna buy something else anyway. I don't care, I will grab in multiples of 3 and go to the self-checkout. I could care less if they give me the stick eye!!! I am not doing anything wrong!!!

You shouldn't have that type of mentality. As long as you are using coupons correctly then it shouldn't be a problem and you have nothing to worry about. If by any chance they give you any problems, come back at a later time. Usually, there will be some evil cashiers but that's rare at least for me.

My mom was just telling me how she went to Walgreens got 7 RR and the lady said she couldn't use it til tomorrow! I wish I would've been there I would have given her a piece of my mind!!!! I'm usually very shy/reserved around people I don't know but if someone messes w/ my freebies or money you better believe the gloves are coming off!!!

I don't mind having 0 transactions but sometimes I have to tell the cashier how to complete the transaction to print my receipt. They just don't know what to do when you don't owe anything

A good filler that really costs you NOTHING in the end is gift cards. You are eventually going to use that money anyway, so why not just prepay if you think you MUST have a balance.
