It's true, though, that while coupons are awesome for those of us who use them, they're a PITA for the rest of the people who don't use them. I think supermarkets should have a "Coupons Only" line instead of the "10 items or fewer" line.<br /><br />In all honesty, I don't like being stuck behind people who have coupon problems either, lol, but thankfully it happens really rarely. Mostly because I don't like standing in line anyway so I try to go shopping when the stores aren't all that busy and also because Aldi doesn't take coupons... I'm sick today and I have to go grocery shopping so I think I'm only going to Aldi. No freebies or awesome deals for me, I'm afraid. I don't care, I just want to get it done and come home.Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341866154277464609.post-82680623603022054192016-04-19T08:35:01.003-04:002016-04-19T08:35:01.003-04:00The rain checks are good forever!

The great thing is that coupons normally come back around to use again so I wait for that to happen or for it to be something I need to get that isn't on sale. This isn't the case at every store but Harris Teeter has always offered rain checks that don't expire.<br /><br />There are certain stores that push looking at everything and not doubling coupons but the double is being offered by the store so they never get money back from the manufacturer so I am not sure why it matters if it is something that the store is offering as a promotion. The store that I have gone to has never trained their cashiers to do that but I know that I went to one other store that went through all the coupons first and read them all....you can imagine that it makes for really irritated people behind you in line when it is totally not your fault. I try to stay to the stores that scan and take the computers word for it. This customer service person is new and must have come from one of the other stores. Very grumpy!!<br /><br />I was in line on one of these trips and the person two in front was using coupons (and it wasn't going well for her) and the husband in front of me said to his wife...that is why I don't like coupons. Well, I was going to offer them a coupon on the Jimmy Dean sandwiches and the Frosted Mini Wheats but not now!! I don't like when people make comments like that.

Why do people think that it's good policy for them to be rude to their customers?! I'm confused though: do they usually push the "do not double" coupons manually?<br /><br />I also wanted to ask about your rainchecks: don't they have an expiration date? All of our rainchecks down here usually expire after 30 days. I think CVS is the only one that doesn't have expiration dates on theirs.<br /><br />Is your knee feeling better?Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.com
