clever or sly?

SOOOO Canadian Tire had Palmolive and Vim advertised for a dollar and i wanted to use my coupons but they said excluding the small size. BUT the flyer didnt have any sizes on either of the products. so i went to walmart and price matched and used my coupons. i got 6 vim and 6 palmolive fo free!

bad or good?

welll.. i dont think wl should have alowed a pm on a item that didnt have a size on it..

but GOOD JOB I GUEES !


BBUT I DO THINK IT WAS WRONG TO DO SO.. SINCE WE KNEW IT WAS
A SMALL SIZE

[frugalmom]

Good question? Are there smaller sizes???

[stefaniea17]

there are smaller sizes. like 250ml for vim and 295 or something like that for palmolive. but there was no size. i had to try!!!

I'd say if you have to ask such a question..you listened to the wrong voice ...

Congratulations, you just abused a coupon. Obviously its bad.

What kind of store wouldn't look for the size before allowing a PM? I guess at some Walmarts, it's anything goes, and at others they are cracking down....then the rants start on this forum....

One of the managers at my local LD said that stores will often order in sizes for promotions knowing full well that price matching stores do not carry that size so customers will not pm and be forced to shop at the original store so she will allow price matching on similar sizes to have the business.

Clever or sly....or "honest or dishonest"....

i am not a dishonest person. i do try to follow all the rules. even in the flyer of canadian tire, some of the items had sizes and some did not. im not even sure if the ones at CT were big or small. i just bought the bigger ones at walmart cuz i new i could use the coupon. i wasnt going to stop at canadian tire to check to make sure. would you?

[PurpleBunny89]

My WM will allow this even if there is no size posted. They don't give kittys with it though (I have 3 already! Don't need another!)

Good job on all the free goodies!!

im almost sure im going to be the victim of some abuse for this comment, but if your wal mart allowed it, i say good for you. you stocked your home up on some cleaning supplies that are well needed. and if you got the bigger size because the wal mart cashier allowed it, her mistake, and not yours. i dont know why people have to be so negative... i understand that many people believe that this is coupon abuse and that's fine... everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but do you really have to be negative on someone elses brag? just saying

They were the small ones at CT. I work at Walmart, and refused a pricematch on this on the weekend, because the flyer didn't state sizes. We phoned Canadian Tire and they told us it was the small sizes. I coupon just like everyone else on here, please everyone, coupon responsibly. The manufacturers will just keep cracking down, we all know what has happened with LD and stacking!!!

if only i had london drugs near me. i appreciate all the positive feedback, and everyones opinion. i just thought i would ask regardless. i know a lot of other people wanna make sure they are doing what is correct. everyone has a different outlook on whats right or wrong.

I agree with your statement, this is very wrong
