The last few weeks I've been on the verge of a temper tantrum the last few times I've tried to go shopping and get the awesome deals I've put on my Master Plan.
In Utah County it has become veeeerrry popular to coupon. Which means if you don't get to the store as soon as the deals are posted EVERYTHING is out. And I'm talking EVERYTHING!!!
I was so frustrated that I emailed the author of the freebies2deals site and asked for advice. This is what I got:
Katie-
You can do a few things. Go to stores that are less coupon crazy, go early in the morning (i've had to do that a few times), or the best option is to ask the manager when they restock.
You can also ask for a Raincheck. So when the items get back instock and are no longer on sale, you can still get the sale price that was promised to you AND use your coupons.
Hope that helps!! Keep it up- it's worth it!
Melea
I was again motivated and decided that I would just change the day I go shopping and also called to see when my stores re-stock.
Then came Tuesday. It was the first time I attempted to "Double Coupon" and it sure was a bust! Just like before EVERYTHING was gone. I wanted to slap someone! Seriously, who are all these people that think it's ok to clear a shelf?? Don't we all need cereal, seasoning, body wash, etc??? I am NOT going to get up at 5am to get to WalMart just so I can get my deals...then again I am the competitive type and would do it just so I can feel like I won and also a little to "stick it to them".
Sigh. So for any new couponers like myself, beware of WalMart and the false hope that they will always have what you want.
