Walmart @ Westheimer/Hillcroft?? Next to the Worksource Has Their Coupon Policy in a Red Folder On Each Register

Note: The Cashier was not able to understand any part of the Policy. She looked 6 times at the policy. She told me Walmart does not take bogo coupons (head and shoulders coupon), she said Walmart does not take any coupon if the coupon is greater than the price, she said Walmart can not give me overages in cash because Walmart will go broke doing it - but she said nothing about Walmart getting reimburse for each coupon, she said Walmart does not take printed paper (internet coupons), she said Walmart does not  match prices unless you have the ad, she said I can't  used $2 coupon off the Head and Shoulder Shampoo because I was getting the conditioner free, and last she said I couldn't use a coupon because I was price matching.  Well it took her 45 minutes to ring me up.  The look on her face when she saw the total that I owe was only 6¢.

A Special Thanks to All the Coupon Playaz Who Take the Time to Share Your Deals and Blogs With Other Coupon Playaz

Mail Call from Playa: The Magic of Coupons

Why Do Some Coupon Playaz Apologize for The Amount of Items They Buy With Their Coupons?

I was reading some archives from some popular blogs.  I can't believe how some coupon playaz  can visit these sites everyday to get deals then jump on the authors of the blogs for not donating their stock pile to charity if they feel the author has got too much with their coupons. If they want to give thats fine but if not thats their business. Some get one item, some get 10 items, and some get 100. It's their prerogative. You can buy how many you want and let them buy how many they want.

You don't know their situation or whats going on in their lives. But if they take the time to share with you the deals they find why are you critizing them ????

Is This the Reason Some Stores Limit Your Coupons - They are Committing Coupon Fraud while Accusing the Couponers

via Jill Cataldo

Many years ago, manufacturers were having problems with stores gang-cutting coupons from unsold newspapers, then turning them in for reimbursement. It had gotten so bad that one organization estimated that over 108 million coupons were redeemed fraudulently annually -- and that was back in 1977!

In a sting operation almost worthy of its own feature film, the industry fought back. Targeting an area in New York where gang-cutting and fraudulent redemption was suspected to be rampant, a new "manufacturer" offered a new product in the coupon inserts - Breen Laundry Detergent. The trouble was... Breen detergent did not exist. The 25-cent Breen coupon was designed solely to catch organizations that were gang-cutting inserts and submitting all of the coupons for redemption.
And cut them them, they did. Over 117,000 coupons for the non-existent Breen detergent were submitted for redemption from that single ad campaign, giving investigators specific information as to which stores, retailers and firms were gang-cutting on a massive scale. (At the ACP conference, presenter Ron Fischer, founder of Redemption Processing Representatives, actually had one of these Breen detergent coupons in his hand while telling this story!)

Retailer said that they have tracked their "extreme couponers'" shopping via Jill Cataldo

Another retailer said that they have tracked their "extreme couponers'" shopping habits throughout various store locations within their chain. He said that the store's closed-circuit television system has the ability to zoom to "fingernail level" and see what coupons are being redeemed at the register by calling up the date of a transaction on a computer screen and clicking that day and time's video. He said that they can also "follow" the same shoppers' path, again via in-store video, as the shopper goes from store to store to store, using up more multiples of the same coupon, often clearing the shelves in the process.
