I am curious how the other stores are...
I go to the Delano Coborns...NOT AT ALL COUPON FRIENDLY!!!
No IP's and many many are NOT Q friendly--MNGR & cashiers...Maybe because I save so much...I get tude when I do...

They used to be soooooooooooooooooooo good! Loved it there! Now I only use them for SUPER Cheap stuff...Like their daily ads...and oh yeah the free TP I got a few months ago ! Thought the cashier would DIE...what do you mean free???? UGH...

What are the stores that you guys go to and how are they??
I might find one on my way home I like better...I drive alot for work...

A few months ago they had scott soft TP 4 roll packs on sale for $1.00 and I had about 10 Q's for $1.00 off scott soft...so I just had to pay tax...They were newspaper q's since Delano will not accept IP's and the cashier was so angry I got it for tax I thought the vein might go in his neck!

I generally only go to Foley. They accept IP's but do watch all Q's closely - each one for expiration date, if you really bought the correct size, amount, etc. I have never been denied something and would never say any of the cashier's or manager's have been rude, they just are really, really careful. I have picked up some things off their clearance area for free after coupon and have never had an issue with it.

I go to the Coborns in Hastings and have not had any problems. I usually go the same time each week and for the most part I get the same cashier, who is wonderful!!

I have had good experiences with the Elk River store.

Last week the cashier even complemented me on the good deals and asked where I had gotten certain coupons.

I have not used coupons at the Delano Coborns (I am new to qs), but I have never found the cashiers there to be friendly any time. Even if you are paying full price. I DO love the CVS in that complex, though. They are friendly, well-stocked on sale items, have a working magic scanner WITH PAPER, and get their signs up for the ad specials. I have had good experiences with coupons there, too.

CVS Delano IS great...I thought I was the only one in the know going there! Cool!
They seem to keep us stocked! Everyone is great there!

just wish Coborn's was more fun!

My sister-in-law goes to Hastings for Walmart and wants to try Coborn's there when they have good deals..do they except IP's? Any other info you have that might be important?

I am so excited she has started couponing! Finally someone in the family who gets it!!! She is beyond happy--she had previously thought I was NUTS!

I have not had any problems with IP's. Yes, it is a good to shop the sales which can be good deals as most of the regular prices are higher then Cub or Walmart. Also Little Dukes is located at the same building and you receive a penny off for gas with every $10 spent. Also at Thanksgiving and Easter they have Turkey and Ham cards that they stamp and if you fill your card you can receive the Turkey(Thanksgiving) or Ham (Easter) free.

I agree, couponing can save a ton of money. I don't know why more people don't do it!!! I hope she will give Coborn's a try!!!

I go to the Mora store very rarely... it is literally a nightmare to shop there with coupons. IP's are completely out of the question for this store. Yes, I know there have been fraudulent coupons but either they need to get with the program and start accepting IP's or people need to stop shopping there. This is the digital age after all!!

I just used coupons for the first time at the Buffalo Coborns, and was so pleasantly surprised by my experience.

I used two IP's to get two free packs of Cottonelle (4-packs on sale this week for $1) and I was so worried I would get hassled about the IP's and the fact that it produced a free item. NOPE! I went through the line and the cashier commented on how smart I was to get those coupons and match them up with the sale, and about how she needs to get her printer working so she can do it too!

I was so happy walking out of there with my free TP! I'll definitely be returning!

[vzimm]

I HAD NO Idea Coborn's in Buffalo accepted IP's!!! YEAH!!!

Thanks Chimpandee!!!! I go by there all the time and have shopped but I guess Delano got me so conditioned I didn't even ask! Thanks!! There is a girl there that is the sweetest thing on earth--my daughter's age and a new mom too--she is moving in a few months to be with her armed service hubby...

Thanks hope2663 for the Hastings info! My sister-in-law is going gangbusters...she went NUTs over the Rainbow cereal deal this week! She was so excited & got so much free milk she is donating to day care...she also ended up winning a $25 Discover GC in one of the cereal boxes so that put them over the moon!

They thought I was nuts but then after my giving all the mom's in my family "swag" bags on Mom's day and all the guy's "swag" bags on the last family B-day celebration filled with free or nearly free things I have bought & found, she got a little interested and I explained stock piling and couponing more thoroughly...she was under the impression my brother would only use CERTAIN products but he disabused her of that notion after my speech...ha! He is helping her now and he is totally excited too!

We were on the phone the other night & she said she had to go since my brother was motioning her to get "clipping"! Ha!

thanks for the info hope2663 & chimpandee!!

I was at Mora Coborns yesterday. I asked the cashier (one that I know has worked there a long time) about IPs, and she said they do accept them, as long as they are legit. She mentioned coupons.com, ect.

I don't shop there but my grandma does, so I asked when I went shopping with her yesterday, so I would know if I could share IPs with her.

I shop there and rarely have a problem with coupons. The most i've had at one time was 35, including IP's. Once a cashier asked another, "do we take internet coupons" and the other girl said, "just do it" and i'm like, "uh...i've been shopping here since you've opened and i've never had a problem before..."

The only problem i've really ever had with them are for their own coupons or B1G1 deals. I've had multiple occasions where they've had the wrong thing marked or pictured something as B1G1 and then not mark it when i come in the store. I guess i need to bring my insert with me.

Recently i've started only going for their B1G1 or when they release those mail q's. The rest of my stuff i try to get at Walmart or Target after work because it's so much cheaper.
