couponing sucks at canadian tire :(

[katysmuma]

got all my stuff together gonna get some laundry soap some green works and some air wick. well get up to the till, cashier states i have to do them all in different transactions as the coupon states one per purchase.....ask for the manager and explain that its per purchase not transation but they dont get it...so off i went with nothing

[Poirot]

Just let them do different transactions.One time I bought 4 of the same thing had 4 coupons and ended up $0.20 in Canadian Tire money instead of $0.05 Canadian Tire money.I was happy with that.

^^^^I've done that too. Then use the CT money for the taxes on the other transactions. Got you CT!!

[katysmuma]

it would have been like 20 transactions though if i didnt have the lil ones i may have done this but i cant do that to them

Leave kids and spouse at home to go shopping with coupons if at all possible. I've had DH with me and all it does is slow me down plus throws off my couponing.

[katysmuma]

totally agree with you wolfwoman!! by the time night comes i am sooo tired i really dont want to go but i should

i tried using coupons at CT twice. never again. both times it was like a huge deal.

I think Cdn Tire sells so much hardware stuff that the cashiers don't see a lot of coupons, so they don't know how to put them through. I have tried several times to use coupons at Cdn Tire and it is always a huge deal!!!! I once used 9 bogo Beneful coupons there and they made me do it in 9 transactions!!!! I rarely go there with coupons because of this.

Yes, yes it does.

I attempted it once and then never tried again.

I love the CT that i go to.There is a cashier who I love she is great.She always asked me how many coupons I have fro her today? She always waves for me to go to her line.Shes great.So i am sorry to here about your guys troubles.

Aww that stinks Sorry you have a "bad" CT...

I really think it depends on the store. The one in my hometown is fabulous with coupons and I never have any problems, but the one in my mom's hometown is terrible and I'd never try using coupons there again!

I went to Canadian Tire yesterday and asked the cashier before hand if the airwick I was getting had to be rung in separately, and she said no. She let me ring in all 5 things, and use 5 coupons in one transaction. It depends on the location and the cashier. At least she let you use coupons in the first place.
