  • READ THE COUPONS ALREADY!!

    These people aren't sucky so much as aggravating.

    They come up with items and a coupon. Some coupons are very generic: "Save $1.50 when you buy any two of [company products]." The key words here are "any two."

    But some are more specific. "Save $1.50 when you buy two of [specific item #1] or [specific item #2]."

    And this, they have not done. Yes, they have items from the correct company but neither one is the specific item mentioned.

    To their credit, they don't yell or become abusive when told the coupons won't work on the items they have. (Or if they have, it's not been in my line. Yet.)

    But they could save themselves some aggravation if they'd read the (yes, sometimes VERY) fine print on the coupon.

    I don't think I've ever seen what products a coupon is for be in fine print, myself!

      The definition of "fine print" can vary with age and vision issues.

        Well, sometimes it's in fin-ER print.

        The eye-catching print is the "SAVE $1.50 WHEN YOU BUY" and then suddenly it's smaller print when it gets to the specifics.

          That's for sure!
          Unfortunately the companies are extremely unlikely to enlarge the print to make it easier for everybody to read.

            Smith's (local Kroger branch) on their online coupons has in big big print "Save 80¢ on 2" and then in big print "Save 80¢ on 2 Kroger Bran..." and a marginally recognizable thumbnail... The user has to click on the item to see wtf it is and then click to get out of the pop-up.
