Anyone had trouble at WM with the B2 Save $4 Ziploc?

[Trillium15]

I see that next week's flyer has ziplock bags for 1.48 each and I have a coupon for Buy 2 Save $4 from the internet, straight from the J&J's [email protected] site. Problem is it doesn't say Manufacturer's Coupon anywhere on it and they want to see that according to the Walmart Canada Coupon policy for Internet coupons.

I was planning on going in armed with 25 of these and buying 50 boxes (I'm donating them to the local foodbank...they use them to portion out sugar, coffee, creamer, etc) but I'm concerned that without the MFG's Coupon on it, I'm going to get hassled...

anyone???

I've had problems at my Walmart superstore, the manager insisted that they need to see the website address of where the coupon came from on top or bottom of the page so they can validate it. Although I explained that it was from rightathome, he wouldn't budge.

I just used one of those today at Walmart and didn't have a problem using it. I didn't cut it out even though there wasn't an url on the page. (I don't cut up the coupons I print out because of that)
Perhaps if you approached their manager right off the bat and explained what you were planning to do that may help.
Great cause, I hope all goes well!

At best I would go in with 5 of the coupons at a time. You will fly under the radar if you use a couple at a time. Just make a few trips over the week.

They will most likely flip their lid if you go in with 25 at once!!! (Which may also prevent other people from using the same coupon at that store.)

I've never had an issue with that coupon. But I will limit myself to 6 coupons at once and then if I want more I will go put my purchase in the vehicle and then come back in and get more and go to a different cashier....keeps you under the radar!

[Trillium15]

Agreed! I will do that...5 at a time and hopefully I should be fine!!

25 at once will get their backs up, whenever I want a lot of something, I spread it over several stores or days.

I used it (before the policy change) and had no issues BUT if you want to push the right at home thing with them, my store is aware that their coupons are one time prints so yours may be too, but maybe print the page from right at home where it says ordered/printed/whatever it says so they can see its legit?

my closest walmart will only take 1 printable per transaction.
Ive tried before to use 2 and was told no, this location limits people because people have ABUSED coupons at this location before by printing out like 50.
One of them used to be a member on here now shes not, and I think shes the reason because she lives in my city and shes known for using 20,30,40 printables at once.

ANYWAY!

about the URL issue,
since it doesnt print out the url on the bottom of the page, I usually write it out, in black pen on the bottom of the page, if they ask I tell them the url got cut off so i wrote it out.
I haven't had any problems.
Last time i used the b2save $4 coupon was when walmart had them on for $2 so there was no overage..
Im going to try it this weekend so we shall see!

I just went back and checked the RightAtHome website to see if I could print more but the checkbox to select that one was not available because I have already done it previously. So, technically that would mean that it is only intended to provide one coupon per login and us using a .pdf to print it multiple times is not what was intended.

I can see how 25 of these at a time would raise a red .

I'm all for taking as much advantage of coupon savings as we can but it behooves us to be cautious about bending the rules on the original intentions or ultimately we may end up with manufactures and/or retailers reducing or restricting their offers/coupon policies.


Side note: tried to edit the middle sentence, but for some reason it does not want to display the word F L A G. ::

My local Walmart (longueuil QC) Advised me last week that internet coupon must be brought without being cut out so they can see the web address at the bottom of the page.

I contacted the store manager yesterday to discuss the rightathome coupons and others that do NOT include the web address when printed. He told me to write down the address name manually and to also write down his name.

I went yesterday to get the Ziplocs, but obviously since the sale started yesterday there where none..(it's always like that at my Walmart). Eventhough I did not use the coupon i was ready anyway. I had a print screen of the rightathome page to show them that the Ziploc and sauce coupons are in fact available on that website.

I will go today and see if they have these Ziplocs now. But I suggess you contact your manager and talk to him 1st and bring the print screen as well just to show the manager.

Here is a Screenshot of the page if anyone needs to print it out just in case.

Better armed with all information than not!

I haven't had any troubles using more than one printable at the same time, or using any coupons from RightAtHome at Walmart in Vernon, BC. They haven't even batted an eyelash- though, it might be because I never buy more than six (or so) items at a time with the same coupon.

A lot of the coupons out there say something along the lines of 'Coupons are not authorized if purchasing products for resale'- so if you're buying 25+ at once, that's what it's going to look like to a cashier. They don't always get (Or believe) the concept of stockpiling or buying in bulk to donate.

The sales at Walmart always start on the Wednesday.

Here in Ontario, the Superstore flyer which has them advertised starts May 6th. Just to be safe, I called and spoke to the mgr and told him I was buying 50 boxes for the food bank donation and didn't want to clear the shelves so he told me he they have a huge display and to go ahead and take them. if the cashier has an issue, to tell them to speak to him. Normally he wouldn't accept so many but because I'm donating to the food bank in our town, he's fine with it.

I just got back from picking up my mail and ran into the lady who volunteers at the food bank and told her what I was doing and she's going to send the mgr a nice letter thanking him for allowing us to buy so many at once
