I went to walmart today to use some of the cover girl coupons. And the shelves were almost completely empty. I bought 6 of the shade I use.
And bought the rest of my stuff.

I walked up to the check outs and profiled the cashiers like I always do. ( I know it is bad, but I have had some issues with older cashiers and men cashiers) Anyways, I walked up handed the cashier my coupons, she looks at the C.G. ones and looks at what I bought. The CSM happen to be walking by( I know her, and she knows that I would not mis-use coupons), and the Cashier asks if there is anything she should know about these(CG). The CSM said no.
Then I told her that I bought what CG said.
She then thanks me for using the coupons correctly and buying all the right products.
I just about fell over onto the floor. I was in shock.
The only coupons that beeped( I knew they would and told her they would) were the travel size tide detergent. She checked them and read the coupons and then pushed them through.

My total before coupons $61.24
after coupons 26.74

Just had to share.

so many people are coupon envie and i dont know why mmmmmm

[Hadsgirl]

I have a couple of cashiers at WM and one at each of my most frequented Targets that always thank me for using my coupons correctly.... They have very nice attitudes and are always helpful and friendly... It's just too bad that there is a reason they thank people for using them correctly... ugh

[AngBuck]

Most of the cashiers are pretty cool about it. I've had a few with attitudes. I also had one ask me about couponing and if its worth doing when its just you and a spouse. I gave her some ideas while she rang me up and she was really sweet.

Great job, its nice to have those great relationships, because if there is a problem, they have your back.

congrats

I, too, was thanked recently at Target. The cashier told me that they do see a lot of attempts at fraud. I asked her what she was referring to and she said people trying to use coupons for products they didn't even get. When I expressed surprise, she said it happens to her a couple of times a day...she said "You've got to wonder how many fraudulent couponers are responsible for higher prices."

So it's not just me who does this! Lol. I try to avoid any issues at checkout since I am both new to couponing and a bit social phobic. I try to get out as fast as possible !

Good job on your haul!!! Did you use the $2/3 tide coupon. I have been doing it for a whle now with no problem even though the coupons beep, until I went to a store an hour away a couple of days ago. I was already aggravated because the whole store was full of empty shelves, even in the laundry detergent aisle!!) so it was a wasted trip but when the cashier called over a CSM she said I couldn't use that coupon because they didn't show a picture of the trial. I told her it didnt go by the picture it went by the words which showed no limitations on sizes. I also told her to think about how many different brands of tide, bounce etc and how they couldnt possibly print a coupon big enough to display the items. Then she turns around and says I will only accept one, not four. I told her again she was wrong so she points out the whole 1 coupon per item...ugh I start reading the "no more than 4 like coupons in same transaction" but i had to repeat myself because when i started to read it she yelled at me and repeated the first sentence again....RIDICULOUS !!!

Yikes! Did she take all the coupons? I know the 1 per purchase throws people off, but seriously, when they add the 'no more than 4 like coupons' you'd think people would get what it means.

what coupon are you using for the travel tides ?

Well, theres a few different ones i believe you can use,
.50/1 Tide detergent, Downy, Tide Stain Release
$1.00/2 Tide detergent, Downy, Tide Stain Release
$2.00/3 Tide detergent, Downy, Tide Stain Release

Looks like all came from 10/2 P&G Insert

Where are the travel Tides located? And how much are they? I didn't realize there was a deal on those

Thanks in advance!

[Jmelee82]

I usually find them in the trial size bins they have in health & beauty aisles. They are .97 and are single use packets....hope you find em :-)

After I spoke over her quoting the "no more than 4..." she rolled her eyes and walked away and the cashier took all the coupons :-) Then she thanked me and said, "I learn something new every day". I gotta say, it feels pretty good to teach a Walmart employee or two their own policy

[babynicksmom]

The travel size tides are located around the health and beauty sections.
And I talked to a CSM about the 4 like coupons. She said that they would constitute it as separate transactions.

so now I know to do separate transactions. I have a lot of these still to use before the 31st. So I plan on getting some more of these today. And luckily I will have 2 other people with me. My oldest son and my youngest son. My oldest son will do a transaction for me

[msdowney66]

I fineally used all of mine. I Loved that coupon!

[thestork7]

Don't feel bad. I definitely profile the cashiers, too. Younger women tend to be the best about it.
