#319 – Discounted

I never have any luck with those coupon printers they now have at grocery stores. Most of the time they are for things that I will never be interested in. When it’s for something good it will be for something that I just bought a few seconds ago and the coupon expires in 6 days. Thanks for wasting all that paper on my behalf!

    Apparently, the coupons are cued off what you purchase, to be for something related. For example, I once went in to buy 5 quarts of motor oil and a bottle of antacid and they printed me a coupon for $0.50 off a pizza from the food court.

    Most of my store’s coupons have lookup numbers and I have a habit of memorizing most of them every week and it saves me a ton of trouble. Not only do I have to scrabble around looking for them, I use them on demand as I notice what customers might have that fits them–and apply them accordingly.

    Manufacturer’s cupons….taken as given.

      Not only do I “NOT” have to scrabble, I mean….eh sorry, it’s a quarter after four in the morning as I write this…

        As long as you have a clue, and the search won’t have a monopoly on your time. Keeps it from beong a major operation, and probably makes you one of the favorite checkers. Jenga.

          If you didn’t see above…I meant I DON’T have to scrabble. Because I memorize strings of numbers.

    I have had too imfamous situations with printed coupons. One time, the coupon offered a great deal on a certain brand of microwavable dinners (Stoffers), so I made extra certain to get the right size of macoroni dinners, only to be told that the coupon only worked for “entree” dinners… Despite the fact that the box had entree on it… The second moment involved a printed coupon for smore stuff (grahme crackers, hershey’s chocolate, and marshmallows). Once again, got the proper brands and size, only to be told that it wasn’t a coupon, despite the fact that it had a messed up barcode, was printed in the store that very day (both cases involve a coupon printer in the front of the store), and very clearly says what I get free and such. That time I argued with the registered person until the manager came and sorted it out.

      Wish I could edit the grammar/spelling mistakes and make that less blocky for one to read…

    Whenever I go to Kentucky Fried Chicken, I usually throw out my coupon as it is usually more expensive than what’s posted on the board.

    Notice that the clerk said “*I* have a coupon…” I guess that means he’s the one that gets the extra money.

    what’s bad would be if a guy got a coupon for tampons. wait, are there coupons for stuff like that?

    I remember when young the local grocery store for a while had these battery-operated coupon dispensers sticking off various shelves. I started collecting them to see how big a pile I could amass. Occasionally in the middle of taking multiple coupons from the same dispenser it would run out and I would walk away trying not to look guilty.
