Publix

I had to stop at Publix after work hubby said we needed a few things got milk, 2 meat, 3 packs cheese, 2 bacon and a few other things, I didn't have my coupon pocket book with me, however I did find a free coupon in their Publix paper for yogurt..lol
Also I remembered I had the $10 off $20 coupon for Kmart.
anyway at check out I handed the cashier my coupon she said hold on a minute she asked the next cashier she then tells me "sorry you can't use that" I asked why she said " they are not a competitor, "they don't sell food" huh yes they do,(also I was told Other Publix were taking it) she said 'NO" . OK no problem My order was $31. as I was leaving I asked who is the manager I was was curious to ask. she pointed him out I went up to him and showed him my coupon and told him the cashier said it was no good I thought you take competitors coupons he said yes we do and she absolutely wrong, he went behind the register at customer service and handed me $10 back and said sorry! Good thing I asked :)
so now my order is $21...lol

Ebates, Big Crumbs, CashBaq, Mr. Rebates... cash back when shopping online


Any time you are going to make a purchase online, check first to see if the store is listed on Ebates, CashBaq, Mr. Rebates, or Big Crumbs. If it is, you can save anywhere from 2-25%. They have lots of stores such as GAP, Circuit City, Ebay, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, … All you have to do is go to their site first and click on the store web site from their page. I’m thinking the way this works is that they have signed up for a ton of affiliate programs and get paid from these companies to bring people to their sites. Then they give you a cut of the money.
A lot of times if I need some type of electronics or computer supplies, I’ll go to Circuit City through Ebates or Big Crumbs, buy online, but have it sent to the store near me for pick up. It works out great.


Right now Ebates is having a deal where you get an automatic $5 in your account when you sign up. Here’s the link Get $5 automatically just for signing up for Ebates

I don't order much online but I will have to keep this in mind!

Thanks to chachingqueen for this post!

Walgreens- Call

I got a call today from John at Walgreens Corporate office.
I had written them recently (you there Mrs Anonymous) regarding my order last week on their sale of buy one get one Purex laundry soap and the use of coupons and their policy. He said yes I can use a B1G1 coupon on a B1g1 sale and only pay tax and get BOTH items FREE! he also said that I could get as many as I needed or wanted they don't mind they get their money back from manufacturer!
wow good thing because I happened to buy 10 coupons off ebay and I got them the last day of the sale and got 20 Free! oh Mrs anonymous would you like John's number so you can call him and tell him he's wrong too!
