I did the airwick with no problems. Got 4 and used 2 Q's so they were all free. Sorry, I did not do the Vive deal.

Went today on my lunchbreak to quickly grab a few things and was disappointed with the bare shelves.

I managed to get a few things and was happy with the outcome since I didn't have long to grab things. I got:

(4) Smithfield bacon - BOGO ($4.49)
(4) Smithfield spiced lunchmeats ($.99)
(6) kool-aids
(2) family size wheat thins
(1) snapple peach tea

I had the smithfield q's and free wheat thin q's ... I got overage on the smithfield lunchmeat q's ($.66 each) and only paid $.11 oop. The cashier seemed a little miffed when he gave me the total.

Bah. At A&P last night the q's wouldn't scan. The cashier kept them like they did. I went back today (after more carefully going over my receipt) and the CS lady told me that it was because they were buy one get one free, it's illegal to get two free. Yeah, I'm a criminal. I thought about trying it with the coupon before the club card. Thoughts?

Just had a terrible experience at the Ellicott City Superfresh.

A coupon **** was manning the uscans so I decided to go through a cashier -- Caroline -- BIG mistake! Not only did she inspect each and every coupon (I'm used to that & I wasn't using any do not double coupons), but she pulled out the register receipt and started manually calculating the exact amount of each item -- sometimes wrongly. After 10 minutes of this she called over the head cashier to correct one her mistakes, but I told them to just void out the whole order & left empty handed.

I'll try another Superfresh tomorrow, butas this is the closest one it was a major bummer for me.

If you scan coupns before the store card , they won't triple, it is for card holders only.

[liane66]

I think you're misunderstanding -- I scanned my card first & the machine was tripling them -- up to regular price. It was the cashier who would not let the coupons triple. She was manually entering them in.

Well, it's almost like my SF read my posts b/c whatever I got overage on b4 I did not get overage on today! Not even the Smithfield lunch meats! IDK how, but they fixed the registers. How can it be different from store to store? It's not the same programming? And they were all out of the Smithfield bacon. Ack! I may as well try A&P.

I can't stay away from SF when they have triples. I went yesterday with DH, got lots of stuff, (including bread and milk)...and still paid less than the bread and milk. DH said "do we need to run to the truck before they figure us out?". Needless to say, he hasn't gone with me to see it done before. Went back today to get my bacon and some jello for DD. I have recently had good luck at the registers...I just let my 2 yr old DD talk to the cashiers and distract them...or turn on the charm. Oh...did the airwick deal yesterday...no problem. Sorry to all you guys having trouble...the frederick, md store seems to be pretty good, and good managers as well.

Looking over this thread it looks like several people have had issues with the cashiers not allowing overage. I am ok with the machine being programmed that way, but when a cashier manually checks everything this is huge pita not to mention a alot of time they get the math wrong.

I shop at several major chains and only Superfresh and Walmart scrutinize coupons like this. Oh well I've never checked out some of the other SFs around me -- guess its time.
