i rarely tell anyone about websites or online unless it is a fellow customer. but occassionaly a COOL manager will ask AFTER accepting everything and i tell them where to go as a thank you! lol

That way, they are forewarned and can't get angy if you hold them up. As for the "huffers and puffers"? I kill them with kindness....I turn to them and say "I'm sorry to hold you up, but this is a matter of about $50. It's not like I am just trying to save $.50!". This is said with a BIG smile and 90% of the time they change their attitude (or line)

Excellent policy! I think I'll use it myself.

Mindibrad I love that


I to get the "But it dosent match the photos" I even got really crabby one time and snapped something about it not being a "picture book" and they must sometimes READ what it says as well. :hectic1:

I normaly dont get rude with them but its so hard to deal with people who seam smart and yet they say stupid things. I was having a bad day too. :frown:

I had a cashier yesterday tell me I couldn't use a Kraft marshmallow coupon because I had mini marshmallows, and I was supposed to have the "big, Jet-puffed ones". I said, "they are ALL Jet-Puffed. That is the brand name. See?" and held up the bag of mini-marshmallows, emblazoned with " Kraft Jet-Puffed." Come ON! Like they can put a picture of every single item the coupon might work on?

I have also shared couponing information with the cashiers that are interested and want to know how or where I get my Q's to save so much

[Jesscap5]

If they are "questioning" where I got the coupons to make sure they are legit and blah blah blah then NO I don't tell them.

If it is a cashier in awe and asks nicely for there own personal use then yes I might tell them but I have honestly only told a few cashier over the past few years.

Not sure if this is a real brag bc I think I could have done better. Well, today I hit up Target with a stack of q's. I didn't do as well as the pros here but I think I did ok. The nearest CVS is 35 miles aways and I just didn't have the gas to get up there.
Anyway my total before q's was close to $100. I paid $39.88 OOP. I did need alot of things for the house so I had to splurge.
I got:
10 pks emery boards
2 pks Betty Crocker warm delights (clearance with q)
1 cake frosting (clearance w/q)
2 A1 sauce
2 BBQ sauce
2 Planets peanuts (free)
Ziploc baggies (free)
5 baby lotion ($1.15 for all 5!!!)
1 butt paste (free)
2 trial cottonelle wipes (free)
8 Sure deo
1 Glade
2 coupon file folders from $1 section
1 Purex
2 Kraft dressing
1 Folgers
2 Bic Soleil
1 Bic soleil cartridges
1 Fabuloso cleaner
1 nail brite sponges

**I guess it wasn't that bad, considering the razors and cartridges alone would have been $18.82

Not bad at all, looks like around .83 per item - they would have cost more other wise... great job!
