All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

I went to Shoppers yesterday cause it was buy $75 of anything in the store and get 25x the points. Plus I had the offer of 7500 points wub $50 or more. I tried explaining to the cashiers that these two should combine but the man kept telling me that I only get the best offer. I said that doesn't make sense and I told him I will make an iquiry on my app. Well today I got my 7500 points through the app help. I think some of these cashiers need more training. There was three of them there and none of them knew. I even told them I had this happen to me before and at that time the cashier at a different store adjusted it. I made sure to give that person good feedback.

Lucky you for getting the points, but WUS offers have never stacked. And cashiers have no control over what offers apply and which ones don’t when they are offers loaded to the app.

Over priced potatoes
Paid for a 10lb bag of Farmers Market potato @rcs S today $5.98 I have never paid that much for a bag of potatoes. If only I didn’t need it

Getting a rude and condescending comment saying I should read carefully next time before quoting.

@couponmummy I am guilty many times for not reading and asking question but no one have every been rude about it. When I see someone post a great deal I usually get excite. Don’t take it seriously

Flemeth:

We always get those potatoes. Especially if my dad is with on the shopping trip.

Plug in air fresheners. They are supposed to make the air smell so pretty and pleasant right? Well at what cost I'm thinking now - and not the $$$ and cents kind. I had a plug in air freshener unplugged just sitting on top of my plastic lap laptop tray that I very rarely use these days. Life got busy and it sat there for a long while - like a LOOOONG WHILE. It somehow got tipped over. Well today I'm straighten and tidying up and when I move the air freshener what do I find? Because it was tipped over some of the "scent" leaked out - AND IT ATE THROUGH THE PLASTIC OF THE LAPTOP TRAY. That stuff is PURE toxins right there and we breathe that in daily. Well no more. Never buying another commercial air freshener ever again.

@coupongirl99 I dreaded that you discovered the harmful properties of air fresheners that way. How awful!
many of us have never allowed them in our homes just because it never seemed natural to have a chemical freshen the inside of the house, we opened the windows instead.
Plus anyone with allergies probably steers clear of them.
I hope there was a way to repair or replace that damaged laptop tray.

That is scary, thanks for posting.

Cant find a nice pair of p'js for a lovely lady in her 50's -talking about me
1-daughter-in-law bought me a pair for xmas top too tight and bottoms too hot from costco
2- I ordered a pair from the bay states "relaxed pair " top is too clingy shows every bump lump etc didn't even try the pants on

so I have resolved to buying seperates tops from the gap last year Henley style (warm on cold nights)
2 old sleep tops short sleeve from thrift shopping

anyone have any store ideas for me to get a complete set ladies size large or XL ???

I did buy a set a few years back from reitmans til they wore out

Penningtons would have some in XL and be more proportioned. I have a few pairs of the cotton bottoms that are very comfortable to wear. Addition-Elle would have a similar selection, I would think.

I quite like OLD NAVY for jammies--better fit and relatively inexpensive. Look for ones that are mostly cotton--synthetic sleep wear is too hot and gross (in my opinion). They have ladies sizes that go to an XXL--(and tall too) and they have a plus 1X-4X line that would meet the needs of a lovely lady. :)

Also most of it is on sale right now. Happy hunting

@coupon girl do you have any GT stores near you? They carry many types of pj's ( bottoms can be bought separate or together ) Prices are quite reasonable AND then they toss the stock on the reduced rack after a few weeks. Sizes range from regular to all the XX sizes. I never wear the ones that are too hot ( plush fabrics ) I like my pj's thin and loose. Check it out if you can
