Sorry it was so frustrating. It is annoying when they have corporate rules that either the stores don't follow or the cashiers don't know about. Even more frustrating with the freebies when they'll be reimbursed by the mfg. for the things. It's not costing them anything.

If you want some help on the whole couponing thing, talk to Connie Reese in your ward. She's a CHAMP! She had a trip not long ago that she spent $31 and saved $311. She's crazy good! She's helped me save a TON of money!

You're so good - I just can't get with Coupons! I'm impressed with you!!! Sorry it was so frustrating!!! maybe leave Erik home with the boys next time....

I have a friend that is really into the coupon thing. She is really good at it. I might have to get her to show me the ropes. Also, how is AJ's not a competitor of Fry's, they are owned by Bashas?

That's pretty amazing! I don't know if I could be patient enough with the grocery coupon thing, but I hear you can get a lot of free or near free stuff. I'll use them once in awhile if I happen to have them with me (or always at Bed Bath & Beyond). Maybe when I get to stay home? I don't know. I say hang in there...it is obviously working some. Not that it matters, but I cannot believe they wouldn't take AJ's either.

I've been trying to do the whole coupon thing too. I ususally do pretty good but my problem is when I get in the store I always buy things I don't need.

SO sorry!!!! Nothing more frustrating than all of that!! Hang in there though, cause it really does get a lot easier the longer you do it.

Ahh! I know what you mean. I would save your receipts and AJ's coupons and call the manager on Monday. It may be a different one. Tell them that the ad says they are taking ALL competitors coupons, and that they have taken those before and if you would've known they didn't do AJ's, you would have brought in three Fresh and Easy coupons because you can print them off their website right now. I hope that works. If you even care anymore!

If it makes you feel better, they wouldn't double my internet coupons (which I was planning on doubling since they were all 25-40 cent off coupons) AND I didn't know about the Fresh and Easy coupons AND I miscounted, so I spent way more than I should have also. You have to be so meticulous to get it right. I also get extra stuff that I need, and so that bumps my savings down. I'm sure you still got killer deals. Next time leave the boys at home! :)

Sometimes couponing can be very frustrating!! Especially when you have kids with you :) It really does take SO much more time to watch exactly what the cashier is doing, but after a couple of times, you'll get the hang of it. I've found that I have to read the coupon rules for different stores online before going, that seems to help because then I feel more informed.
It makes no sense that they didn't take the AJ's coupon though. There are AJ's in the valley=competitor, right? I'm so sorry it was so frustrating!!
