Definitely! We bought overpriced candy.

Was wanting Flintstones vitamins, but at $26 for a small bottle...no way!

Considering the extra time and effort to go where I normally would not, it will only be worth it in the end if I get to 5 partners. I did Global Pet Food on one account, which will help. Might go back if I don't find a better #5 for our other account.

Free is simply when you have a coupon or rebate that reduces the net cost to 0; e.g. $2 price minus a $2 coupon or rebate. Free-plus is even better, free plus points and/or cash overage.

This week in ON, Becel plant butter bricks are $1.77 at Freshco, and there's a $2 printable. If the store reduces the coupon to $1.77, it's free. If not, free-plus. With a PCO offer on Becel, PMing at NF or RCSS is also free-plus whether the coupon is reduced or not.

Thanks for the explanation. I rarely use coupons, mainly because I don't get them or cannot find any. Also, I have had poor experience with RCSS. I had a Chapmans $4 coupon for ice cream and tried to use it on a product on sale for $4. RCSS refused to honour the coupon and sale price and insisted on charging their regular retail price before applying the coupon discount. I promptly walked out and will not waste any more time with such shenanigans. I checked with Chapmans and was told that RCSS was operating within their discretion on coupon handling. I understand why it is done, but won't waste my valuable time playing their silly games.

My understanding is that accepting coupons is a matter of chin policy. So unless a given chain has spelled out exactly what staff must and can't do, the degree of consistency can be limited, both across the chain and even with different staff within a single store. Sad but afaik true.

Re. your RCSS, you might consider trying to find out if what happened is actually the store's policy. It could just have been an over-zealous cashier.

Fwiw, I rarely find tearpads at all, so almost never any I'd use. I do try to use printables as often as possible.

I had the issue kicked around by the store management and it was pretty consistent throughout that particular store. So, it wasn't any particular cashier. If that is the store policy, then it is likely pervasive within Edmonton. I haven't tested at other RCSS, but have found their major policies consistent in the RCSS group of stores. Oh, well. They out-smarted me so well that I just took my coupons over to Walmart, where they had no problem giving me the $4 discount from their sale price.

[HermanH]

Walmart had 2x 1.89L of milk for $1.24 each and a 4-litre jug for $2.87
RCSS had a 3.5-pound chub of Piri-Piri chicken breast for $3/lb.
