Meijer-Coupons and BOGO deals

[eek]

I just got back from Meijer, where all of a sudden (in the last week) coupons don't work with BOGO deals anymore??! For example: Buy 2 Eggo waffles, get one free. I used the $1 off 2 boxes coupon from the Kellogg's insert thing from a few weeks ago. It *should* have rang up 2 boxes @ $1.96 each, then a third one $1.96 minus $1.96 free item. Then at the bottom, it should subtract my mfr coupon, right? Instead, it now says limit of $1.96 reached, and only took off $1.46 for my "free" item. The woman at the service desk said it's because it's accounting for my coupons, and taking the coupon amount off the "free" items. That's just wrong, isn't it? Like the Reese's deal....I'm out 3 bogo coupons, because since the register took my coupons, it didn't give me the buy 3 get 3 sale.

You know, I did the buy1,get1 free also, didn't realize that's why it rang up as 6 coupons. I was going to take the receipt back. Should I still? I've not had a problem before with them being free.

I'm having the same problem-bought 2 planters peanuts that were bogo, used $1/2...shows -3.39....then limit of 3.89 reached. Also messed up my reeses, only ONE candy bar was free...going tomorrow to get it fixed, how irratating!! There is a discussion about this on another site.....seems meijer "tweaked" their coupon system & all kinds of ppl are having probs....

I was going to go ask about mine. I bought the Yopiat yogurt that gave you a free pack if you bought a certain amount. I bought that and used two >6 off 6 coupons. Then it takes 2.43 off for the "free Item" not 2.50. well .6 big deal but multiply it out by every customer and you get a good amount. Why should it take off $ from the free item they offer if I am using q's on the other!!

[debber]

On my receipt 6 were purchased, 3 rang as 74 cents and 3 rang as free and then at the bottom the one coupon hubs used (no idea why he only used 1) appeared taking off 74 cents. The waffles were messed up, but the reeses looks right to me.

I had this problem with the last 10/$10 items... I bought 11 creamers and it said "dollar limit reached" and only took off $.50 for the 11th item... hmmmmm... don't think I like their "tweak"

I *tried* to have it fixed up at service, but they told me that's just the way it is now. I was told if you use coupons, it will subtract the $ from the "free" item, making the item not free. She said they're doing it to "crack down" because of things like SA and stuff. I wrote a pretty scathing email, but we'll see. I'm pissed, especially because of the Reeses...I basically paid the exact same as I would have had I not had coupons, but I'm also out the coupons now, too. AND Meijer is getting reimbursed for the coupons anyways!

what is sa? and ya, this whole BOGO thing not working at Meijer is absolutely ridiculous.

[MsCheep]

sa is doing exactly this (trolling for deals) but you pay a company (sa) to do it for you.

I went to customer service today to fix my issue, they refunded me all I was out, apologizing...gonna have to watch my coupons go through like a hawk-they won't be getting any extra outta me!!

So sa will actually go out and do the shopping for someone?
