Well, even the thought was too good to last. WalMart has now issued a revised coupon policy, which specifically targets Register Rewards. Here is the quote:
We DO NOT accept the following coupons:
- Checkout coupons
- Dollars/cents off the entire basket purchase
- Percentage off the entire basket purchase
What does this mean for us? Nothing, ’cause shopping at WM was never a big turn-on for members of the extreme couponers club.
This too is soooooooooooo Walmart! Remember Rain Man saying ‘Kmart sucks???’ I say we change it to ‘Walmart sucks!’ I went there today, out of sheer stupidity. Now that I learned to coupon — they have the highest prices around! First time I walked out with NOTHING!
an update to my horrible experience….went back today after speaking to night manager…still was treated like shit…but at least got to apply overage to other items w/the purex trial size 3 in 1 sheets. Good thing too since they all expire tomorrow…Still not eager about heading over there very often…their cashiers are nasty old broads who bitch about every coupon you use.
FUCK Walmart, FUCK their coupon bait-switch and FUCK Sam’s Club too!
You’re supposed to throw in “fuck the pooch,” but I digress…I should say duh at this comment ’cause really, haven’t you figured out that every single one of these companies is out to screw us? While we may have great relationships with the employees at our favorite stores, the fact remains that the suits have spent millions to design store layouts that remove as many dollars from our pockets as possible, force us to use “loyalty” cards which then allow them to track our purchases and generally hinder our ability to save money (well, not us, obviously). And honestly? Allowing me to use RRs at WM would not have upped my visits there enough to improve their bottom line, although if I had a buttload of overage coupons I’d be camped in the parking lot and so would you. Will I use my overage to stock up on Old Roy dog food or Great Value products? Fat hell! Will I buy the Playtex rubber gloves that Target no longer sells? Well, you get my point. Remember that we must never leave the dark side – in unity there is strength!
