Just for fun - Top 10 ways to frustrate a couponer…

[CloudNine]

My sister and I were talking one day about some things that got on our nerves and so I’m sure that some of you may share in these feelings. This is just for fun and maybe to give you a little laugh in your day. Please know that I believe a coupon is a coupon and I am grateful for them all!

Top 10 ways to frustrate a couponer…

10-Tell us we don’t know what we are doing
9-Print 2 Qs side by side and have the expiration of one and the UPC of the other almost touching
8-Give a FAR offer and then set and unrealistic maximum on the rebate amount
7-Disguise the expiration date by putting it in a regular font and in the middle of the Q
6-Print a FREE ITEM Q that expires before the product gets on the shelf
5-Offer a WYB that has more than 4 qualifiers
4-Print a Q that goes all the way across the page (or heaven forbid the height of the page)
3-Send out saran-wrapped Sunday papers when the insert feeder was having issues
2-Write the fine print as, ‘one coupon per transaction’
1-Put a dotted border around an ad that is not a Q!!!

My goal was to share a laugh (not to start a complain-fest)... so go have a great day couponing your heart out!

That is pretty good...

I would add....Start a Qs UPC with a "9" :)

lol!!!! so true!!!

[kval07]

Awesome. Totally agree with #9.

LOL

Write the fine print as "One coupon per person per day" Arrggg!!!

[eiramnoaj]

Clueless cashiers backed up by even more clueless managers. :shrug7:

Place size restrictions in the fine print (most Gold Bond q's) where they are near impossible for the over 40 crowd to read! LOL

-Newspapers delivered followed by rain... sopping wet inserts are no fun
-Cashiers who don't understand the difference between "one per purchase" and "one per transaction"
-People who get behind us in line and sigh and roll their eyes at our coupons
-Cashiers who don't understand the "any" clause on coupons, and think that the item pictured is the only item the coupon is good for

So many new ideas; love it!
