Or do I just need to watch more closely as they scan them?

You can try taking the coupons and CRT to the customer service desk. Lots of people have had success getting an adjustment after the fact.

I actually gave them all to the cashier, just noticed that not all had been scanned.

I never trust cashiers, I actually hand over my coupons by product and then count outloud as they scan. i.e. I hand them 5 powerades and then count. Too many times I have lost out and have learned my lesson. PS I think you might be able to get cs to help you.

However I have twice also given one too many coupons per products.
I went back later and bought the product without the coupon to make my conscious feel good.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question. When I was at Publix today I bought the bogo taco kits. I had a printable coupon for $1/2, there was also a peelie on the front of one of the boxes that said free seasoning if you buy 2 old elpaso products. The cashier took the printable but gave me a hard time on the peelie. She said I couln't use 2 manuf coupons. She called a manager and finally see said just go ahead in a mean voice. Then she watched each and every coupon I had very carefully. Can anyone tell me if she was correct? Thank you

What you did was perfectly fine. I've done the same myself. You had the correct amount of q's for the correct amount of products. Sorry you got such a hassle about it.

Thank you! They had me feeling so bad!!

I've done the same thing too, many times. I can't tell you how many packages of taco seasoning I have.

The best way I've found to look at it (and explain to the cashier) is to assign the coupons to each item. The printable goes with the taco kits while the peelie is assigned to the seasoning. You are not doubling up on Q's, you are just using one on each item you are buying.

It's gets real confusing for the cashier sometimes when you have a chain longer than two like that or if you branch out with two chains. I had this Q for xx off meat when you buy a certain charcoal AND a salad dressing. Then I had a Q for the salad dressings and the charcoal AND free croutons when you buy the salad dressing. Makes cashiers go :hectic1:

Hello everyone...I wrote last week when I first joined here. Is anyone else having trouble redeeming the coupons that you can print out at your grocery store? Publix in Ga. said they won't take them. Just wondering. Thank you. ~ Holly

Okay, so this may be a silly question.....with Publix's bogo offers, if you don't want both items, will they give you half off of one?? I know other grocery stores I've been to would do this. Thanks for any feedback!!

They give half off at my Publix. Each product that is BOGO rings up half price; so at my store you can buy just one.
I hope this helps!
