Out of curiosity, What was your total OOP?
Also, how many trips did you make to the cash? Did you have anyone helping you with the carts - can't image all of that fitting in one cart.
How were you treated by the employees when they saw your coupons?
Thanks!

OOP = $247.17 but before taxes it was $214.47... gotta love Ontario for $33.00 in tax! And of course some of that is food etc. for my family, so I consider it part of the grocery bill too

I had no one helping me, I had two carts and all the staff knows me... I just fill up one cart, leave it at the front, and then go fill up another one
They know I have coupons and I generally try to time cashing out for when there is a slow period in the store... So they don't mind, as I respect them and they respect that I try not to frazzle them too much
I set the coupons on top of the products and they go to town... In case of the body wash, I handed her the 12 coupons and said I have 12 bottles. They call me the crazy coupon lady *LOL* I don't mind, they know why I do it, so I am flattered they actually have a name for me
Anyways, thanks everyone for the comments, much appreciated

eriluo ... $247 OOP is real good, especially considering that the Optimum points you got are worth at least $120 savings when you use them.
Good Job!
I wish my SDM stores were a little more user friendly, especially when using coupons.

Thanks for the kudos and what's funny, is I have never had a problem using coupies at SDM!?!
The last bonus redemption I was in Toronto for work, so I redeemed down there, using tonnes of coupons and they didn't bat an eye and the week before that I was in another city, Sault Ste. Marie, and had no issues using coupies there, and I have also used tonnes of coupies in Sudbury SDMs without an issue and of course here in Timmins, so perhaps it's the smaller SDM stores in smaller communities that are less user-friendly?!?
Sorry to hear that you have experienced those kinds of issues but maybe if you go during a dead time, and be really organized (that's my key!), you may be luckier?!
Just a thought, best of luck and thanks again
