My friend Krista and I went to the Walmart doubles. We were super excited because it was her first time and I wanted to impress her. :-)
My cart was overflowing, and hers was about half full. I ask the cashier if she is familiar with the doubling coupons on Tuesday and she said, "Yes, are you?" I asked her to explain it to me. She said that they are only doubling to $1 meaning .50c = $1. .75c = $1... $1 is the cap... I said, "Well, I have been coming since you started this and every time you are giving me $1 off every coupon over $1. Meaning if I had a .75c couponing I was getting $1.50 off, if I had a $2 off coupon I was getting $3 off.." She said that they had a meeting about it and $1 is the cap... It really sucked because they had let me do this about 3 or 4 times and I was getting some killer deals. My object was not to steal from WM or do anything wrong.. I was making sure, checking 3,4,5 times that I was buying exactly what the coupon said, making sure to check their store policy to make sure I wasn't being fraudulent.
Basically Krista and I only bought about 1/3 of our carts, had to fill up another cart of the stuff we didn't buy for them to go and put back... I was really hoping that they would just do it the old way just this one last time, seeing all the crap they would have to put away if not.. But they didn't.
So, before coupons it was $147.04 and I only paid $4.70... Still pretty good, just not as good as I wanted! haha

Dang, what a time for them to wise up.
ReplyDeleteLike you said, still got a good deal, but it sucks to be disappointed when it don't go like you expected.
