Sorry, but no. If you're paying for the information, then it's probably copyright infringement. Also, I'm sure that your membership agreement has a clause that you can't post the information on another forum.
You can add your input to the deals that we post each week, though.
BTW, give yourself a few weeks, and I'll bet you let your subscription to that OTHER place lapse............

If you want to use 4 $2 Qs, you will need to purchase 8 boxes of the $1 Airborne. If it's actually .97, then buy 9 boxes. That way, your total for all Airborne products is $8 or over. No beeps. Does that make sense? There is nothing "illegal" about overage. Again, the store is reimbursed for the full face value of the coupons + a handling fee. As for the "dings" on the store's audit, I have no idea. I suppose that might be a reason some AMs/SMs are afraid of coupons. But you are doing nothing wrong by using a coupon that says off ANY. Hope that makes sense. If not, feel free to PM me.

Mikki, thank you so much! I thought the same thing, but I wanted to make sure, because I trust HCW's stance on coupon redemption.
I wonder if he's confusing a store audit with a "manufacturer's audit"? I could see getting dinged on a store audit for coupons that are redeemed incorrectly.
Also, thanks for the advice on buying the Airborne without beeps - makes sense, I hadn't thought of it that way before!

That could be correct. I always give them the benefit of the doubt. With today's economy, I wouldn't want anyone to lose their job over a coupon. LIFE is a priority above all coupons. I certainly wouldn't want to put someone's well-being or that of their family in jeopardy just to get a deal. (Even though it can be frustrating with all the excuses for not taking certain Qs......). My stance is this, if the cashier/AM/SM feels so strongly that a Q shouldn't be used, then I just have them take the item off my order. I'll find another deal elsewhere and I'll just spend my $$/Qs then. I refuse to let it steal my joy. KWIM?

I totally agree with Mikki.......there is nothing wrong with you using those coupons, regardless of weather it is on clearance or full price. As Mikki stated, just buy more and use less coupons. For example I found Sunsilk shampoo on clearance at my store for 1.07 and I have 1.50/1 coupon so I just bought 2 shampoos for every coupon I used.

I believe once you learn your way around this site, you will cancel your membership to the other paid sites....I know I did.

Absolutely, it is the store's discretion to make their coupon policy, and if they don't wish to redeem a legitimate coupon , there are plenty of places that will. I wouldn't have even questioned it, except that I take it seriously when I'm told that I'm committing "fraud" and I felt like I should defend my logic to them, whether they wanted to take it or not.

Thanks to Mikki and ShadowChasy for their replies!

I truly hate when they use "that word"- fraud is a legal term. IMHO, making a customer feel that they are committing a criminal act is completely uncalled for. Just tell us you can't accept the coupon and let us be on our way. No need to accuse people of fraud, for pete's sake. Quite honestly, I don't know what I would do in that situation. It might get ugly..

I'm just waiting for it to expire, but I figured I would share while I still had it. I found HCW about 3 weeks after I ordered it. Thanks for your help!!
