Hi Everyone!

[ABCouponMom]

Hey there - I have been following this forum for almost 2 weeks now and finally joined. I have learned so much in such a short time just by reading all your posts and now here I am. I hope I can add a few things to the mix as well.

I have used the odd coupon from time to time but never like I did today - and never would have thought it was possible till seeing all your posts.

I made my first trip to LD to do some Price Matching & Stacking - I was more nervouse about the stacking and ended up being given a bit of grief by the Mgr there when he told me he could only price match 1 of the 2 Old Spice deodorants I was getting. I was seriously confused . He told me that he could only do the one because I was going to be using coupons. Of course I may be NEW to this but I was not that 'green' - I had prepared myself by familiarizing myself with the coupon stacking policy and it states that Price Matching and Stacking at completely separate and can be performed in the same transaction. To make a long story short - I kept my cool and pressed on....in the end he matched the price of both items and accepted my coupons and all was well in the world. I did come home though and send LD an email to have them now clarify their PM Policy - just so I know

So here is my first breakdown:

2x Kleenex Tissue - $1.00 - 2 for $2 in store special - Less $1 for tear pad coupon in store
2x Old Spice Deoderant - FREE - PM to SDM $3.99ea - Stacked -$1, -$3, -$2, -$2
1x Glillette Deoderant - $1.99 Stacked -$1, -$1 & BOGO Coupon for a FREE Gillete Body Wash
1x Gillette Body Wash - FREE with BOGO above

Total Paid = $3.99 (tax in)
Total Coupon Savings = $16.97

Very proud of my first excursion - and so is hubby! And since it was my first, I bet it can only get better!!!!

See you all around!!

Good for you! As for the 'grief' from management, was it an actual manager or dept. supervisor? Not very professional of them, and definitely not good for business. It's a good thing you sent off an email. If you're given a hard time again from any LD store in Alberta, email or call head office(1-604-272-7400- ask to speak to Clint M or his assistant.). All the locations should have the same practices, since it is a privately owned company, not a chain. During these challenging economic times, one would think these retailers would be fighting for our ' consumer buying power'! Good Luck-Rima-Edmonton
