Coupon Mishaps

So I have been using coupons pretty hardcore lately. Let me tell you about an experience that had me hopping mad yesterday.

I went to use my $5 off Pictureka coupon at WalMart. They let me use 2 last week, so I went to stock up yesterday. I had 11 coupons, which meant that I was getting 11 for free, because Wally World selld the card game for $5. I was doing the self check out thing and my coupon wouldn't scan. The lady came to assist me and informed me that they don't take printed coupons. When I told her that they did last week, she said that they shouldn't have. So, in my huff, I didn't bother to ask for a manager. I just took my coupons to Target and got the games for 4 cents each. I was still mad when I got home. And then I looked up the coupon policy of WalMart! Baaaaabeeeee, let me tell ya, I was fit to be tied! They WERE supposed to take my coupons! I was right! They were wrong! Then I looked up the coupon policy of my local grocery store, HEB, that I tried to use my coupons at last month to save $40 (they wouldn't take them either because they were printed on white paper). Well, what do ya know? They were supposed to take my coupons also! So I printed off both policies. I will be taking them with me when I go shopping next time, and they WILL take my damn coupons! I also sent both corporations emails explaining the situtation and letting them know how disappointed I am with their service and their employees turning my coupons away without knowing the policy.

I was so mad yesterday that I could have slapped somebody! Grrrrrr. I am still not over it completely, but I did feel better after emailing my frustrations to them. Yay!
