I get a lot of questions about coupons, and company policy. So this week I called around, and talked to the Customer Service in each store asking them what their coupon policy’s are. I must warn you most cashier have no idea what the coupon policy is in their store. It is so important to be informed, and be an educated coupon shopper. Some stores are a little more coupon friendly than others. If you get a crabby cashier that acts like you are robbing the store, for using coupons. Remember the store DOES get paid back for your coupons from the manufacturer. A coupon is just like paying with cash. It just comes from the manufacturer, not you.

Today and Tomorrow last day to take advantage of the Restaurant.com / Ebates Offer
Some have asked if they have to subscribe to something, or if this is a trial. Answer: No trial to sign up for, no subscriptions just a great deal.
You can click on the “Now Save 80%….” link below to go straight to restaurant.com and purchase the gift certificate… or if you would like you can sign up to Ebates to get an additional $5 bucks, with an extra 15% back as cash to your Ebates account.
You can do both or just the restaurant deal. Either way this has no subscriptions, and no do this to do that type gimmick. This is a no strings attached deal. How cool!
Ok so I know I have posted the Restaurant.com deal to get 80% off when you buy a $25 gift certificate for only $2.
Now Save 80% Off with every order of $25 Gift Certificates. Use code DINE and pay $2 thru 2/28/09.
But if you register through Ebates, click here:
Not only do you get $5 bucks for signing up , but you get 15% cash back into your Ebates account. Which they will add to your paypal account as a “Big Fat Check”
Example: I bought 2 gift certificates worth $50 for 2 of my favorite restaurants, I only spent $4 bucks.
but since I signed up with Ebates I made $5 bucks for signing up. And I made .60 cents for buying through Ebates, and entering the coupon code: Dine
I became my own “ATM” (A Thrifty Mom) and made $5.60 for buying $50 in restaurant gift certificates!

A quick lesson I would like to pass on. Many of you who are new to “couponing” have emailed me with stories of some cashiers or stores not taking coupons one day, but accepting them the next. This can be very frustrating, and emotionally draining. But I want to give some words of encouragement. “It depends on the day”. Yes it doesn’t amount to much, but point taken is that each person has their own ideas about coupons. It depends on who is counting the money behind the desk at your local store, or which manager is on duty that day. Unfortunately most people aren’t walking store rules and policies. That is why I have called each of my local stores and asked them what their store policy is. A lot of the time the first person I talk to will have absolutely no idea what the policy is. So I call often, learn who their managers are, I write what I learn down, and I bring it with me.
I tend to know the days my favorite cashiers work, and which store managers are coupon friendly. If you ever have had a bad day at a store because they did not accept your coupons that you spent so much time on, here is my own experience, just recently.
I went last night and was able to use my coupon at Albertsons, just fine. But as of this morning one of my local Albertsons has changed their policy. They will be happy to take any competitors coupon that are printed in the ad, but they will not be taking competitors coupons printed off the internet. They said they can not tell which ones are fake. They will still be happy to take printed MFR (manufacturer coupons). All of this because the person counting coupons in the back didn’t like what was happening, not because the corporation came up with or changed a policy.
It only takes a moment to call, but a huge amount of savings. To which I and many of my readers can attest to!
Albertsons is a really coupon friendly store, I totally understand them not being able to take these coupons that “might” be a fake. Disappointed, yes but I understand. It is always best to follow the rules, be honest and that way we all benefit from coupon shopping. When people use “fake” coupons it hurts everyone….so please make sure you are always an honest coupon shopper. Thanks Albertsons for all the great deals!
