My cashier tonight (Veronica) was AWESOME. She told me their new policy is not to accept any internet coupons with the word "FREE" on them...even buy one get one free. Good to know.
I also noticed when you are using an in-ad coupon (like for the Ritz crackers) it has to be keyed in for each item you buy. The limit on the crackers was four and I got four, so she keyed the store coupon in four times. I've had times when it only came off once and I couldn't figure out why.
I've learned at Scolari's it's all about your checker. I have better luck at night when the store isn't so busy. I also like to "fly under the radar" so it's not so obvious that I'm getting great deals. It's not as suspicious when you buy lots of things (like the produce that is a decent price, as well as the coupon items) versus walking in and just trying to "buy" only the free stuff.
