Wow! That is awesome news! What coupons did you use? Do you know if they have any Dove products there?

[Stashley]

I didn't know that, how awesome! I am going to take a dig through what I have

[Tantum]

which one is Parkway mall? Would that be the one by Metcalfe? or the one by wal mart?

Im sorry, we havent lived here that long and Im still trying to figure my way around...

Tantum - Parkway Mall is on the east side, so Walmart would be the closer milestone

And yes, the city is confusing!

I was there today scoping it out and saw a few things for coupons:

Gillette shaving cream
Dove soap bars ($1.25 each)
Dove hair conditioner ($2)
Herbal Essence hair conditioner ($2)
Axe sprays and deoderant ($2)
Soft Soap
Colgate
Arm & Hammer toothpaste large size ($2)

I forgot the price of the Soft Soap and Colgate.

I think the Soft Soap is $2...I was also there today (well tonight) scoping things out, lol......just a heads up not all the cashiers are aware that they now take coupons. I was talking to the young girl working tonight and she had no idea what I was talking about so she was going to talk to her manager about it. It may be best to print off the email that a lot of people received

I went in to try it this morning. There are a few issues I ran into, so figured I'd better give others a heads up.

They will only accept one coupon per product, per person, per day, so if your looking to stock up on those bounty paper towels ($2) it won't happen. I even asked about doing things as seperate transactions, no go.

The product your using the coupon for must not become free with the use of a coupon. So those $1 scrunge pads...they're a no go too.

They treat the coupons like cash and just knock off the price of the coupon at the end. The manager on duty called the district office over the rules on the coupons. I probably had to wait a half hour or so to get everything clarified, so expect a fairly long wait while they all learn how their expected to accept the coupons.

That sucks! Good to know though. Thanks for the info.

Your right, it does suck, in all honesty, its a great new thing to try out, just to be able to say you did it, but I'll stick to places like Wal Mart for my coupons. Its really more hassle than its worth otherwise.

[Lilyana'sMommy]

Thanks for the info but it does seem like a big hassle to try and use a coupon there guess I'll stick with WM.

Same here, I don't think I'll be trying my coupons there, at least until they get things working a little smoother. For me it's not worth the hassle.

I'm always a little sketch about body and food products from the dollar store. If it is that cheap there, why not somewhere like Wal-Mart who most likely buys much larger quantaties? Perhpas it is just a prejudice on my part.
