Hello,

I need an advise from you guys.
Does anyone have an advise what to do when you found a coupon Nazi?
I've met one tonight...Frown (Heard of them before, but never get to see one til todayEEK! )
She just came over and hang around at my register before my cashier rang me up. Then,pretended to help with bagging stuff. Then, wanted to see all coupons.

I got shot down on all printable coupons.
First, the glade plugin. She said "Oh, those looks like copies"
Then, tried to use Renu $1 on trial $.99.
Don't think she has seen bricks coupon before. I heard her said "How can I know they are not copies". Then, I pointed out that they have a unique code on each of them.
But then, she asked my cashier the price and said no coz the coupon value is more than the product.Mad And no she won't adjust down the coupon. (Sorry for the rant)

Didn't want to argue coz I'm sure she just want to refuse my coupons.
At the end, I just have them take items off.

Just want to know what is the best way to deal in this kind of situation.
Thank for any help in advance.
I think you did the right thing. If she was going to give you a hard time, there is no point in arguing. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Sometimes, you just have to pick your battles and it may not be worth it to have them remember you... Don't want to be tagged everytime you shop.

Very YMMV on trial size items when using coupons. Many coupons do stipulate this restriction. There is also a letter from corporate in the WIKI that you can take with you that explains about adjusting down the price.

Agreed...but there's always Glade and a few (ahem) GCs to spend at Target. Plus a few (ahem) American Express Spring Fling rebate cards to spend at Best Buy.
Hmmm... I'm gone for a couple days and there are already deals that I'm missing out on...

All cashier lines were available and no customer in sight. Scratchhead I had a brand-spanking new cashier who "appreciated" my help on how to scan coupons. Evillaugh

Got a raincheck for the Little Tykes Digital Camera. woot
Lucky ducky on the raincheck for the Little Tykes Digital Camera - I wanted to get one of those for DS, but didn't think to get the raincheck - Doh!

Glad the extended family is gone. Can't get motivated enough to put the last two trees up. Already put up 6. ( I LOOOVVEE Christmas!)

Quote from sbhiggins :
*snip*

he went to Circuit City, and bought a Sony Bravia Home theater system, AND got them to PM BB's price on the Sony BluRay player. AND apparently he's been planning this for months b/c he said he's been saving up bits of cash whenever he could so I wouldn't know how much it cost. (I pay all the bills.) Big Grin I'm seriously in shock still that he would not only do all of that but actually do the work to get a good deal on it. Faint

Very cool!!! Sounds like you've got a keeper!

The Spring Fling deal was from way back this spring: buy 2 $25 Amex GCs, get 1 $25 "Spring Fling" card. You could only spend the cards at Best Buy, Borders, Fandango (yeah, right Big Grin) and Spa Finder. INAAH and I both sent ours in at the last minute, so the cards we got expire tomorrow. That's why we were both out spending ours this weekend. LMAO

And yeah, he'll do. Big Grin

"Just" two. Smilie Bought one at T on BF in 2005 (our first year in the house), then found a much more beautiful tree at 90% on Amazon after xmas. I couldn't resist. Evil So now one goes in the living room and another goes in the family room.

Sadly the wisps are on sale tomorrow, totally throws me off. I have to rework my deals.

On a funny note, I got Dh to go with me to Target and get this, he did a run on his own. Granted I told him the basics to buy, throw something pretty in for himself, and set up his q's and picked his casher, but he did it. No problems whatsoever and he did quite well for himself.
