I'm so irritated with Kroger right now. The new coupon policy is so cluttered with rules, it's difficult for ANYONE to understand what's allowed, much less remember in the store or at the register. The poor cashiers! How are they going to keep up with all the stipulations? And the overage clause doesn't impress me at ALL, especially since Walmart gave it to us first, and Kroger's prices are usually so high that overage is unlikely anyway -- and ESPECIALLY since they no longer double/triple or accept an IP coupon for more than 75% of the value. So we won't be getting any overage with an IP -- we can't even use it if it makes the item FREE.
ReplyDeleteI've written emails (no response) and left messages on Kroger's facebook page (no response) and joined the Kroger Couponers group on facebook. I seriously hope they change their mind.
When I went to Kroger last week two cashiers were singing I can't want to April 13.... They fail to realize no customers no job... Let's see which store will welcome Krogers x customers.
ReplyDeleteThis is such BS I will def not be returning to Krogers anytime soon, and your right no customers no jobs.. Guess ill be doning my shopping between HEB and Wal-Mart, while im looking for a more better store to shop at, I think ill look into Randalls, it may be a bit of a drive by im sure it will be worth it.
ReplyDelete@anonymous, Hopefully, the new Randalls at Westheimer/Gessner will welcome X-Kroger Couponers. There was a Grand Opening Sign Up. This new Randalls has gas pumps too. So maybe they will offer some gas incentives.
