Quote from yensshopper :
I would like other's opinion on the following: I routinely request coupons from Chobani. The company sends out a cute card with five to ten assorted coupons; some duplicate and some unique- ones. Each coupon comes with the wording 'one coupon per person'. The main grocery store in my town is Hy-Vee and they (especially the newer employees/managers) have started to read all the writing on every coupon (resulting in folks behind a coupon user even getting more frustrated/upset due to the time added).and using any wording to reject said coupon(s).

I can certainly understand based on this wording that only one of each unique coupon can be used per shopping trip but yesterday the manager insisted I could only use one coupon from Chobani. This happened when I tried to use one coupon for 75 cents off a product and one coupon for a free single serve product. I just said fine and took back the 75 cents off coupon as I've learned it's impossible to change her mind once she makes her decision. But I believe it should be okay to use two different coupons on two products which were a yogurt with fruit on the bottom and a Chobani flip yogurt.

What do others think?
I think you should write Chobani and share the result you're having at your local grocery store, emphasizing it is a small town and your options are limited. If Chobani replies that using the two together in one transaction is fine, you could then print out that response from them and take it to the store. With that thought in mind, I highly recommend your email or chat is factual and does not diss the store or the employees.

Personally, I think it's fine, but the results of opinions from your couponing friends is not likely to result in any positive reaction from the manager you're dealing with.

Out of curiosity, did Kellogg's sell off their club cracker brand? I've been looking for a sale on club crackers for over a month with no luck. Townhouse have been on sale several times, but never Club.

Just wondering why if they are both Kellogg's brands.
I checked my supermarket online (ShopRIte) and the Club Crackers came up. Still showing Kellogg's brand name. In fact, they are on sale this week at my store!
Townhouse crackers also on sale $2.50. reg/ $3.89. I see that they, too, are labeled Kellogg's brand. Weren't they both Keebler brands?

They were both Keebler in the past. It just seems strange that Town House has been on sale multiple times, but club crackers have not (Publix and Kroger are my options, along with one Mom & Pop store).

I printed a $1/2 coupon from the kellogg's family rewards site, but haven't found a sale that I wanted to use it at. I hate paying full price for stuff when I can avoid it.

Wanted to make Pioneer Woman's Holiday Bacon Appetizer (the brown sugar variety) for Thanksgiving. I've been told that the Aldi brand of club crackers is not good. I'm sure I'll break down and buy at full price, but you gotta wonder why one is being advertised (and on sale) a lot and the other ignored.

Club crackers have been on sale at Meijer, here in Ohio, when the Townhouse were not, or a higher sale price. I was able to stack the coupon from the inserts in Sept and Oct with the app that will not be named and stocked up (plus KFR). Hope that this trickles down to you soon. BTW, the crisp version is excellent!

On a different chat note, I know that I try to rep folks, and spread my reps around as much as possible so I hopefully have more to give when the same people are helpful over and over again. But I've noticed some people never ever seem to rep me, even when they've asked for specialized help and I've tried to provide it. A rep buys you nothing, I know that, but sometimes I catch myself thinking 'why should I help' someone who never ever seems to rep me, or even to say thanks.

I've been trying to rep you all day, because you are super-helpful. But it won't let me do it. Your comment is a good reminder to me to remember to rep more often. I think sometimes I forget about people who I don't see all the time. Or sometimes I forget to rep people who I do see all the time, because I think I already did it. Anyway, thank you for the reminder Schnauzermomma. I need to use that function much more than I do.

I have the ultimate Off Topic now. I want to discuss the Netflix show Inside Man, but we can't really discuss it because spoilers would be involved.

I know exactly how you feel. I quit posting a lot a long time ago. It's not that I posted to get reps ( I did that when I first started, ego trip).
Now, it seems like such a waste of time, when most of the time, I can't tell if it helps someone or not. And if it does, if they can't even acknowledge that fact, then do they really deserve the help?

Depending on how the chat thread was set up, some chat threads do not allow reps and you get an error message AFTER you've left a comment that it didn't work.

Yes, thank you. Check your reps. I tested by sending you a rep just now.

I specifically use the tag "Grocery" in heading, so that Reps will count. At least, they should. There is one tag "Chat" that probably doesn't let reps count. I stay away from that.

Thank you to all, especially those that give specialized help when requested. I do try to personally thank or Rep when I can but I am sure sometimes Ive gotten distracted and closed the tab out without thanking. I certainly understand the frustrations. hug

I believe your sentiments are felt by many. We've had a lot of turnover in posters over the last few years. Some of the really great ones were driven off by self-appointed critics, if you recall. For others, life changes. We all have our ups and downs.

Since there are Facebook pages and other sites available, some deals are easier to be aware of, but they don't always translate to our neck of the woods. Even our national chains don't carry identical products across the country. Closeout/markdown deals are getting more difficult to find; nor are they often such a great discount.

If we have something to share, let's do it and as many of us that can remember should rep those posters. It's the fair and right thing to do. We are a community of bargain hunters, after all.
Good luck in the hunt!

Cough, stalkers

Got creepy when SD didn't do anything about it. Several of us went to 'read only' when this happened. Why that dude picked on the printable thread is beyond me.

ETA: I do miss my fellow printable thread wikibees, as we worked our fingers to the bone before there were automated links.
Back in the good ole days that you needed a zip code on a regular basis to move around the country and print.
Shoutout to zip code 30303, where I've never been, but I've found hundreds of coupons dot com links that were from there.

Yes I got them, but I gotta 'share the love' instead of being able to rep back.

In addition to posting some basic info for CVS to help others, I regularly have a couple of members who message me questions. I answer them and half the time don't even get a thank you reply from them, much less a rep. I actually let a few weeks go by wth little/no/minimal comments in the CVS threads just because I could. Funny, but no one seemed to notice.

There are so many who were active on SD for so many years that I am now friends with in the world outside of SD. Some are 'just' FB friends, but some message with me regularly and a few I've even been able to meet on my travels across the country.

Thanks to all of you who have responded, I'm glad it's not just me. I'm pretty sure the folks that frustrate me the most never have looked at this thread. Wink

I know, for certain, that I am guilty of the "not repping" many times especially when you drop in just before running out the door to see if you missed anything that might help solve a problem(like using a $$/$$ and being a bit shor)t. It just seems to me that the world is moving much faster than it used to or maybe my life just gets too busy to stop and remember to do some of the niceities that you always used to. Don't know which.

I do find that when the pace is slower and I go to rep 2-3 people and it tells me to spread it around, you just can't. And to try to remember later just isn't feasible with all the twists and turns my brain needs to remember as these rules change combined with a brain that is aging and isn't as sharp as it was.

Add to the fact there are fewer here posting you almost can't spread the reps around enough to catch everyone regularly.

So I'm repping the old timers here and now, and the often helpful peeps(you know who you are) for the times I've missed in 2022. Who knows what 2023 will bring? Just keep sharing, please. This game is getting more complicated with every passing day.

Now to ask a question:

I have the free coupon check APP to see if qs double. Stopped working for me. As has the
Double Check APP. I know there is a an APP that checks for doubles and if a q will apply to an item that sells for about $2. Anyone know the name of it?
