A Couponer Gets Vindicated

Consider this post Part 2 of this post.

You’ll recall that I had a rather bad experience while trying to use coupons at Walgreens.  I showed my not-so-nice side and called the corporate office to “inquire” (i.e. prove myself right) about the company’s coupon policies.

Now, you know how sometimes you might speak to customer service reps who promise to take your information and assure you that someone will get back to you and nobody ever does?

I kind-of expected that this might happen to me, but guess what?

The store manager (i.e. Head Honcho) called me back!

The next morning!

We discussed the issue I’d had the evening before, and he AGREED that I was RIGHT!

Insert a not-so-humble-I-told-you-so.

Of course, I was gracious, and I genuinely meant it.

The guy was professional and likable.  He told me that I was more than welcome to go back to his store and purchase the items that had been placed in his office for me.  I sheepishly told him that I’d bought them at Target after getting them to price-match and using my coupons.  He expressed disappointment that he’d lost the sale.

Hmmmmm…

I asked him to pass along my apologies to the assistant manager I’d wanted to wrestle.  I assured him that I’m really a nice person…just don’t tell me I can’t use my coupons.  Then I lose my youngish but misleading innocent look.

Just thought you’d like an update!

  1. Well, hopefully you won’t be having any more problems there! It really steams me when I have coupon ‘issues’ with a cashier, but thankfully, I haven’t had too many lately. My first go-round with coupons, several years ago, was a different story.

    Anyway, in response to the comment you left me–yes, I do clip all the coupons (except those I KNOW I will never use/need). I tried just filing the inserts, but then when I needed to go shopping, I didn’t usually have time to go through and clip the ones I needed. I just prefer to have them all ready to go when I am. It’s hard for me to get out of the house, and I can rarely plan ahead for a shopping trip. So when the opportunity presents itself, I must be out the door quickly before the window closes! LOL
