Post Your Super Double Trips here

[everprincess]

i agree. in the beginning of my couponing adventures. I would plan my trips meticulously, then get to the store and encounter many stock issues that throws my plans off. so now I just organize my event coupons by frees and must haves then by price AC. this has made things a lot easier, that way I can shop by the stock and not so much by a list

This is what I do at all the stores I shop at. I print up my lists and pull every coupon I think I will use and put them in store labeled envies in my zippered pouch. My binders only go with me so if I find a deal I want or need I have the coupon. Couponing has gotten harder and harder but I won't give it up.

And that's why hoping both LF and comsumer's have a good experience this time- more competition and more SD's , is better for us consumer's at the end of the day. We get more variety, better deals and % wise spend alot less for same products, if both are competing with "specials'( be it SD or triples). So hope Lowe's continues the program and learns from the mistakes this time, and makes it better next time, to expect it perfect this time, wasn't going to happen. Hopefully they learn and can b better from an inventory and customer service( and training of cashiers), next time do it, its how long term to build customer loyalty

I'm hoping they do better in time. I strongly suggest that if you have a customer service problem to email Lowes Foods corporate. I did and I talked to my store manager on the phone. She was very nice and answered all my questions. She also said she would address the issues I had. If someone doesn't know something is broke they can't fix it.

Agreed. Now I am always prepared with back up coupons in case something I want is out of stock.

Me too. And I'm always looking for other coupons I can use other shoppers don't have. Inserts only go so far with stock. Homemailers, IP's, tearpads and blinkies can make for good deals. I've trained my DH to always look for coupons everywhere he goes. Gas stations have coupons too! You just have to have eagle eyes .

I'm glad I looked at the 2 page ad I got in the mail. I did not realize that the GM cereal deal was a store coupon.
If I had not seen that and gone to the store only to find them out of ads, I'd be stuck on that deal.
I've been getting only a 2 page ad in the mail for many weeks, even though the actual one is 6 pages.
Hopefully, LF is pleased with the results and it becomes a regular event.

I always post the full LF ad and 3 week coupons. Unless I'm sick or had a death in my family.

I wonder what happens with LF in my area, when the new Publix store opens up about 2 miles away. All the Publix loyals say they'll run LF and HT out of town. I say, bring it on.

I seriously doubt that will happen. When they built the new LF store here the rumor was that it was to put my HT out of business. More competition is just better for the game. My HT thrives and so do both of my LF stores-they are always packed.

So...more weirdness today. The cooked perfect meatballs are no longer on sale. They were definitely 2.50 yesterday. I just checked my receipt to make sure, and they did ring up on sale. I bought the same ones today, and they came up regular price of 3.49. They're not listed on sale on LFtG either. I don't get it.

No way! Unbelievable.
That's about the best SD deal they have going, and with so many people wanting to buy them, they can expect a lot of disgruntled customers.

What about the All Detergent? There is a $1 off printable online and store q for $3.49..wondering if this is going to ring up for $1.49 each?

where did you print could not find

I'm trying to train myself to keep a look out for the tear pads and blinkies. I've seen some blinkies but not having much luck with tearpads. As often as I am in HT I'm sure I could grab a few if I remember to look I'm trying to figure how to get homemailers, any tips?

Take them back and talk with CS. I had to take back 8 boxes of Captain Crunch Cereal last night because they were marked at $1.50 a box on sale but they didn't ring up that way. I got my money back on the difference and they took the signs down.

Write the companies. I know this costs a stamp and envie but I've had good success with doing this. Mission never has sent me coupons and I have been emailing companies since 2008. I wrote them a letter and got back two free coupons. That was worth the stamp & envie. More people are emailing companies so they are cutting back on the amount of coupons they mail out. It's alot of work but couponing is getting harder so I believe it takes more work to get success. HTH!

Yeah, if they had been marked I never would have left the store, but they don't have the sale prices listed anymore. I might still talk to them anyway because I'm kind of pissed that they changed sale prices in the middle of the week...but I'm not sure it would qualify under a ring-right policy or anything
