Today's Shopping Tip: Store Policies

By -
ALWAYS carry the store coupon policy with you when you shop!

There are a lot of part time employees, or seasonal help, that don't really understand their own store's coupon policies and give you mis-information.

If you have a copy of it with you -- you can pull it out, show it to them and kindly (we are ALWAYS beyond polite to them) ask them if their store policy has changed because it states HERE (show printed policy) that their policy states......."___".

Here is a great example (Thanks to Kristen R for emailing me!) :

I have had two encounters this week with Walgreen's employees that
do not know their own coupon policy.
 One lady even told me you only earn Jingle Bucks
when purchasing Christmas Items!
Thanks to your blog I now bring a copy of their coupon policy
 so I don't have to wait for a supervisor each time I visit.

See?
It can save you time and frustration by having a copy of their store policy at your fingertips!

It's also helpful to know things like at Woodman's, if you take a coupon and don't use it that same shopping trip - they consider it theft and will prosecute (first item listed in their policy HERE)

If  you aren't sure of your store's policy -- I try to keep on top of all changes for you.
Just check for your store HERE and then add it to your coupon box or binder. You will be happy you took the time!

    I'd hate to see an article about you in the newspaper........LOL! Sadly, it's a policy because the few, spoiled it for the many.

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
