I really liked Callie!! She's so cute!! And plus I've been to that grocery store, so its sort of weird to see it on TV. I would like to know how in the world her family is going to use all those drinks she bought plus whats in her stockpile before they expire.... But maybe she donated some of it, who knows?

Whew, I can breathe now! (I'm Kelly)
Watched it for the first time with everyone else this evening. Isn't Candi just the coolest? I am so lucky to have her as a friend!

She was indeed, very likeable!
But dude! (or dudette...) one thing you should never say to the cashier:
"this is actually supposed to be doubling my coupons, I'm supposed to be making money on it"

What??

That manager must have been clenching his teeth as he approved the manual adjustment. Safeguards had obviously been programmed into the registers to prevent that kind of overage.
She walked out with $155.42 on her gift card! That's not paid by the manufacturer, it's a store's loss!

Be ready for some policy changes in the near future!

Was that on the other episodes?
Didn't watch it on my tv and never will
just wanted to see if it changed at least a tiny bit

[RCodeGrl]

Was that on the other episodes?

No, that's new for this season. I'm glad they added that bit.

I think Candi did a great job, especially for a beginner!! My husband and I are planning on relocating the family from the Metro ATL area up around Rome within the next 6 months or so, and I laughingly told him when we do that I'm going to start shopping in Adairsville and become your stalker.

LOL Now that's hilarious! Both trips (Season 1 & 2) were at the Rome Kroger, and I do love to shop there even though it's not the closest Kroger to me. Good luck shopping in Adairsville, though - we don't have much to offer! One Food Lion store, which I desperately wish would double coupons or something like their sister stores down the road, but nada. Oh well.

Look me up when you get in this area!

Sounds like it's the Rome Kroger for shopping!! LOL I will miss having Publix and Kroger across the street from each other. Gonna have to do a little shuckin n jivin to get used to the new locations, drive times, etc.

Might need some expert advice when I get up there, LOL.

We are actually up there a good bit visiting with some friends (I'm trying to teach her some about couponing too). So who knows, you might get bum rushed at the Kroger if I ever see you! But, I am definitely going to take you up on the saying hi when we're up there, I'd love to have a coupon buddy that actually has a clue!! All mine are half hearted with it and very confused, LOL.

Yeah. That to me is just wrong. And very not likely to happen at most stores. Yeah, I know I've been told it happens at the military commissary. I have not seen it happen though. Neither am I about to buy a million Tic Tacs or other things I don't need just to get the overage.
