Post by: Brehvolution on July 25, 2008, 05:00:23 PM: When you are spending easily over $100/week, and most grocery stores double the coupons up to $1, you can easily save $50 or more a month. Don't hate.

Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on July 25, 2008, 05:37:58 PM: :piss Coupons :piss2
:piss People who use coupons :piss2

When working retail, one of my bigger pet peeves were people who handed me coupons after the transaction was finished and then got pissed when I couldn't just give them money for them. Store policy was that you had to use them in the same transaction as when you bought the item.

That and check writers.

Post by: Fragamemnon on July 25, 2008, 07:34:23 PM: visible coupon use short-circuits my near-perfect checkout aisle selection algorithm faster than BOTH children and race. I've never seen a coupon user go through a stack and actually select the correct products, resulting in mass confusion and overrides at the checkout line.

Post by: Tieno on October 22, 2008, 11:07:47 AM: Why is it embarrassing to use coupons?
Anyway, we have this big supermarket (Colruyt) where I just give my 'Extra' card and every product that has an active coupon the amount is subtracted. Don't have to bring along all those coupons, also easier for the cashier. Still get sent the coupons, but it's to advertise which products they are on.
