Okay, so I was out doing some shopping this weekend at Publix. I was at HC and they have changed some rules again. They will only allow 2 BOGO’s per person per day. Why??? Well someone went in and tried to buy 100 bags of cat food off the shelf. So they are now putting limits. Normally I would get 6 or 8 bags at a time at differnet stores. Please don’t get everything all at one store. Go to several stores over many days to get what you need.
My other issue was buying some dog food at the Exchange. I had a Publix Q that was bogo and I also had a MQ bogo. Max (manager) would not let me get two for free. I would have to buy four and get two free he said. I tried to explain that I was stacking store and manufacturer, but they were not having it. His explaination is that there are too many people coming in to do that and getting like 20 or 30 ‘free’ items. I had picked up 6 packs.
Please if you have many coupons for a deal, spread it out over several days at several different stores!!!!
100 bags ? That is really absurb.
2 Bogo per person per day ? When do they start this ?
I was able to buy 6 at one time last week.
Lisa, I would not go to exchange, some of the managers have their own rule. One of them told me that the $x/$y is after all coupon used but when I go another time, another would let me use otherwise.
It is very inconvienient if they only let 2 Bogo each time but I think it is good also to crack down those who buy 100 packs each time.
I went to Hunter Crossing on Saturday and that’s when I was told about the new rule. I had purchased 8 bags (4 deals) on Thursday, but could only get 4 bags on Saturday. Some of the other stores allowed me to get 8 bags, so it could just be Hunter Crossing.
I was upset that a fellow couponer would try to buy 100 bags at one time at one store.
You have GOT to spread it out over several days and several stores. Please don’t get greedy or it will ruin it for everyone!!
We have got to shop smart so as not to provoke the stores from taking away some of our coupon privileges.
When you buy huge amounts it draws attention and the stores will make up new rules to prevent such things.
Please for everyone’s sake, be a little inconvenienced and go to several stores over several days to get your stockpile.
Jamy,
Thanks for letting me get up on soap box and do a little preaching!
By the way, upcoming week looks great!! cheap pasta and sauce among other things!!!
Lisa,
Yes, I agree with you.
Thanks for the head up.
Looks like Hitchcocks is having a great sale this week too!! I will try to do some matchups and post what is best tonight when I get home.
If you want to purchase mass quantities, just ask them to order it for you. I had to prepay and they will call me when it comes in. They prefer this over someone clearing the shelves. I ordered 100 bags, Wednesday and they scanned all 100 coupons + a $5 off competitor. With a smile.
