None left for me - one coupon per person

[Big Grammy]

Am I the only one that thinks there is a reason why my .75 coupon for a reach toothbrush and my $3 coupon for Motrin says - Limit one coupon per person? I couldn't get either today at Shoppers or Walmart. Oh yes, it's a great deal, and oh yes that cashier - didn't read the fine print, or yes the store you went to decided to allow more than "one per person" - but is this really proper coupon etiquette?

it happens. it sucks, but it happens

Try a different store- sometimes items are sold out due to multiple people getting in on the deal and it's not just a single person who clears the shelf.

I hope you end up getting what you're looking for!

Going to the store just to get 4$ in savings isn't worth the cost of going, unless you are close enough to walk. It's also best to go at the beginning of a sale if its a great deal. I'm sorry you missed out on the deal. Keep in mind, you can ask for a raincheck and quite a few stores do price match. Maybe someone liked getting toothbrushes for .75 or motrin on sale and bought them without coupons.. I don't know of etiquette rules for purchases done without coupons.

I notice you are new to the board, I hope you find it as great as I do. I wish you better success finding the next deals you try to track down.

Yes, and then they sometimes come on here in the brag section with, "look at my hundred toothbrushes or my hundred and fifty candles" and other readers write, way to go....I don't quite understand it.
