BellaOnline Forums Money Freebies How to Get Free Stuff by Extreme Couponing

wow! I'm very impressed! We keep kosher so I can't always take advantage of the great grocery store deals. But, I've been reading a couple of kosher-budget websites... and you have definitely inspired me to try a little harder!

thanks

Alissa,

There are tons of couponers out there that feel the same way that you do. I think it's more because of the fact that more people are attempting coupon fraud now. I've heard stories of managers getting wrote up for accepting a bad coupon and as a result, the store cracks down more.

Personally I don't have a problem with anyone looking hard at my coupons...as long as they take them, I'm happy!

I often have to educate the cashiers and sometimes even the managers on the coupons - but pretty much if the register accepts it, they are in the clear. Sometimes i just ask them to see if it will scan through and that allays their fears.

I also have to sometimes point out that they can accept a store coupon WITH a manufacturers coupon and they are like...oh, right!

Also...it's good advice to carry each store's most updated coupon policy with you.
