Amber and I plan to look more into this once I finish school (next week!) and we can get our new house in some semblance of order.<br /><br />We have always been coupon clippers and like many others, occasionally leave the coupons in our pockets after checkout. It's frustrating after all that work..and while I don't have much experience @ Publix, at least @ Kroger they are generally very willing to let you walk over or come back to Customer Service, and be like, um, I forgot to give the cashier my coupons, and just hand you a pile of cash (even if you didn't pay with cash). We heart our Nipper's Corner Kroger.<br /><br />And if you are a Kroger shopper, consider the Kroger Rewards Mastercard (http://www.krogerpersonalfinance.com/). Not only do you accumulate points for whatever purchases (Kroger or not), you get double points for $ spent @ Kroger and triple points for Kroger-branded items. Plus 15 cents off gas. For every 1000 points, you get $10 in Kroger gift cards. Compared to airline cards (the best we could find was 35,000 points for a roundtrip US ticket), it's a much better deal. 35,000 points gets you $350 in Kroger gift cards, pretty much the value of a US roundtrip ticket. Plus the gift cards are in your pocket quarterly and you've earned the points faster through the double/triple arrangement. And, for the coupon lover in you, they frequently send you very valuable coupons that are personalized to what you buy, and that you can't find online. When you do the math, it's definitely something to consider.<br /><br />btw lovelovelove the new blog.

I usually pass my Publix 3 miles from my house to spend money at another store in a different county because I can't be bothered sometimes. <br /><br />It is also true that the harder they try to "catch you using your coupons the wrong way" because most of them do not understand how we do what we do so well, they in turn mess up. <br /><br />Keep up the good work hon.ConquererTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996795486789514982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-68972691044127359242010-03-13T09:43:12.108-05:002010-03-13T09:43:12.108-05:00I must say that I love your sense of humor!

I am an extreme couponer so I am always looking for overage items (yes, I have like 100 boxes of Gelatin breeding in the pantry) but I'm always inspired by other couponers!

He was just irritated that he had to deal with me at all. I realize it's probably a minor inconvenience but um HELLO you're a cashier at a grocery store, it's your job.<br /><br />@Meghan--you make a good point. I have a gelatin coupon that's fixin to expire, perhaps I should go ahead and start stockpiling for our experiment. :P I need to do a CVS post soon but CVS has kind of sucked the last few weeks, so I'm waiting for a good week to be my exemplar.quidquid katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136522704029173135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-77759219389095995692010-03-12T20:20:58.042-05:002010-03-12T20:20:58.042-05:00I love stories about crazy couponing ladies. I am ...I love stories about crazy couponing ladies. I am jealous of the 500 sq ft freezers they all seem to have in their houses for all the shit they buy. They must be able to afford them with all the money they've saved. <br /><br />I hear it's not true that gelatin causes your nails to grow, but if I had coupons so that I could buy up a nice supply to try an experiment, I would totally buy the store out in unflavored gelatin. <br /><br />Good for you for paying attention as he scanned your items and coupons. I can't tell you how many times I purposely buy something b/c it is in on sale or I have a coupon, only to come home and realize that I didn't get my discount. If it is b/c I used a coupon and the cashier took it, I usually don't can't argue if I were to go back.<br /><br />O.K. That cashier was a DICK. You should write a letter to the manager about his shitty 'tude. I bet they'd send you a bunch of coupons! His behavior was totally uncalled for and if he wants any kind of career in public service, he needs some fixing. <br /><br />I want you to school me on CVSing. I've read Jenny's instructions, but I'd like to hear how you got started so that I can try it. <br /><br />Next time, I won't have such a retardedly long comment.ICantPayMyFineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219994954274099342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-40706911396695757632010-03-12T17:03:05.777-05:002010-03-12T17:03:05.777-05:00My Publix used to torture me about this, but I spo...My Publix used to torture me about this, but I spoke to the general manager. He assured me they were more than happy to give me the overage from then on it has been much better. I still get the occasional cashier or manager that doesn't know the policy is, but when I tell them so and so (general manager) says..blah, blah, blah...they back down immediately.The Prudent Patronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581627782311497257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-22940832902670059322010-03-12T16:18:29.594-05:002010-03-12T16:18:29.594-05:00@Vill--but of course!
