***Official Military DECA/ Commissary Thread*** Supporting Our Military Proudly!

Quote from hawaiiandawn : I thought the same exact thing! At least return the papers, ya jerks!

Those people are stupid and lazy! If they hadn't been so lazy the army wouldn't be so mad right now! I hope they catch them and bann them from base!

Quote from setsail : It's 25 cents per copy. They get most inserts- P&G, short versions of RP and SS. Never get the Unilever or Huggies mq but I can get those elsewhere.

there are newspapers with inserts that only charge 25 cents!!

Quote from hawaiiandawn : There's a thread here about an Amazon sale on toilet paper that made the FP. Seriously? Who pays for tp?? I have to say that a lot of it made for some very funny reading though.

well I have been known to pay for TP from time time-last year there was much better sales plus I live with a paper waster, but atleast I never ever pay full price!!

Quote from jteef1 : I wonder if they are still holding a case for me. Of course, with them, I wonder about a lot of things.

Do you happen to know how many KY are in a case? I got lucky with the coupon (and have a ton of people printing it for me) so I'm going to order a case once we move so I can buy some groceries.

I'll admit I pay for toilet paper. DH will only allow Charmin in the bathroom and since we only have a couple stores, it is hard to find deals on Charmin. Hubby is pretty brand picky.

Nutro didn't reset for me I finally picked up my first two bags of it today.

I brought my $78 order down to $1.98 thanks to the earlier print of KY (from like last month) Picked up some Butterball ground turkey for $1.23-$1.29 lb after the 50 cent peelie on it. I love buying stuff we actually need with coupons and showing the people behind me in line you can buy fresh meat and dairy items with coupons and not just mustard.

72 in a case.

Quote from jteef1 : 72 in a case.

Wow...yea I don't think I'll have that many coupons but maybe I can order a half a case. When I came home today I told my husband he can thank Ky Jelly for our groceries today...lol.

Have you read any of the drama on another forum where a store manager told a patron she was "profiting" from using overage - and thus "abusing her commissary privileges.."

No I missed that one. The only way I can see someone "profiting" is by getting cash back but even that is a tricky line because they get reimbursed for the coupons. I feel like DECA created this great coupon policy but the store managers aren't too fond of it (kind of like Walmart)

Edited to add: Just found it. I don't agree with how that store manager treated her but looking at some of the trips on there, I can somewhat see how managers are feeling now. Ordering 200 + rolls of tape just seems absolutely crazy to me (My own personal opinion...don't flame me for it) But I'm also a fly under the radar as much as possible coupon shopper.

200 rolls of tape equals $156.00 - 200 in coupons equals $44 for Charmin toilet paper. I'm just sayin'. Then you donate the tape.

Yea but I'm the type of person that would rather just spend the money on the TP than throw the spotlights on myself. The most of any overage coupons I have ever used was around 20 of the Pert Plus coupons because I like to stay under the radar. That is my style of couponing. 200 + of those IPs definately would not fly here (no matter what the policy says)

Not to mention I'd lose some of that overage having to buy new ink from printing out those IPs.

On to another subject, the Weber coupon that everyone is using for the marinades has in the fine print "Limit one per purchase/household." Do we interpret that as one per transaction then? That is the first time I have seen that wording on a coupon.

Oh I hate it when they do that. WTH does that mean?

Quote from hawaiiandawn : Oh I hate it when they do that. WTH does that mean?

I didn't get it in my inserts so I bought some and then saw it in the fine print. They took two totally different ideas and put them together into one statement. Can I buy multiples and say I'm buying them for different households?

With 36 K-Y K-Y has a way of drawing attention....

I used to try "flying under the radar" But they picked on me anyway. So now I just move in like the Goodyear Blimp....

Lol...today I kept it in my green bag until checkout. My cashier is a couponer herself so she knows why I was buying it. If I ever get one that asks I'm going to tell them I hold KY jelly wrestling matches on the weekends to help support my couponing habit. Free admission with one recent insert That should keep them quiet.

One per purchase/household. Hey wait! Maybe it means you can't have BBQ's and share your marinade with others. Only for your one household! That's gonna suck for the people with multiple wives.

Since I was the only one couponing at one of the stores when I got here and they had no idea what the policy was, flying under the radar didn't last through two trips. *sigh*
