Hi, I'm Michelle, a coupon-crazy Maineah! This page is intended to be a public forum for sharing of tips, tricks and match-ups specific to Maine and the New England area. Are you tired of coupon match-ups that reference coupons we didn't get locally? Me too, so here we are, focusing on local stores and coupons that are received in Maine Newspapers!

Since CVS Was So Much Fun, My Wonderful Husband Took Me To Shaw's Too!!!
After getting the last three boxes of Milk Bites last night I was pretty sure the Windham store hadn't re-stocked yet, but I still gave it a shot. No surprise...they were still all out, but we made the most of it!

My Mueller coupons say not to double and last time I had them I was surprised they didn't - the cashier informed me that they can't double. Its in fine print at bottom - do you think if i get a cashier who is possibly not familiar with the coupon they might double?? I assume yours are doubling automatically?
ReplyDeleteHi Danielle! The bar code starts with a 5 which means it IS programmed to automatically double. The software recognizes the information in the bar code. If you do have a cashier who inspects every coupon for an hour, then I am sure they will reverse the doubling. I have heard several people saying that Shaw's has recently given direction to their stores that cashiers are NOT coupon police. They need to rely on the computer to read the requirements of the coupon. The last two nights I had my FAVORITE cashier in Windham who just scans away, I love her!!!
DeleteThank you, looking forward to giving it another try, got 4 of them so it would be nice!!
