 I went to Winco and was very excited to use my coupons I had been saving. Winco is the cheapest around, and they dont have sales. Just always cheaper. So using coupons is a bonus. Well when I went in line, I asked if it was easier if I put the coupon on each item, or just hand them to him. he just waned me to hand them over to him. So I did that. Well I was in line for 15 minutes or longer. He had to ask for a manager 2 times (which took 3 minutes each time), made him help the person behind me (had kids) while I waited, wouldnt use 2 of my free coupons. Ziplock 2 free coupons or $3 off. Because they were $3.29, he would take it off and handed them back to me. URR! Anyways, I ended up not using about 4 of my coupons. So my trip to get a few things, ended up costing me $107.00. Which if I had used those coupons, would of cost me around $80. I was so peeved.
On a better note, I went to Fred Meyers (best organic healthy section around here) and had NO PROBLEM using any of my coupons. Nicest lady ever. I did have to get 3 things readjusted because they rang up wrong(rang up 3.99 instead of 2/$4). But other than that, awsome!
My tip of the day: Try to do this alone, less distractions. Watch as they ring it up. Many places (like fred meyers) have a history of ringing up at the wrong price. And try to go through a line that you know of or have been through many times. Usually easier and less problems. They get to know you and your shopping habbits.
