Where I live, in California, they do not double coupons at ANY store. When I shop at Safeway, I WATCH the prices because overcharging is common. I once caught a charge that was incorrect, mentioned it to the checker and I ended up getting the item for free. It burns me up that stores do this (I think knowingly) and get away with it. I am a Safeway shareholder but I don't think that type of behavior is right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-25968311665839708342009-01-21T14:41:00.000-08:002009-01-21T14:41:00.000-08:00I have to agree with you about Safeway!

I don't often go there, unless I know I'm getting a good deal; Safeway is actually one of the few stores that will double coupons in my area, unfortunately. <BR/><BR/>One other thing of interest to note: when I pointed out to the checker that she had neglected to double my coupons, she said that they had been told to treat them 'normally' UNLESS the customer requested doubling!!! That seems wrong, somehow---only the customers who have taken the time to ask would benefit from coupon doubling.Finally Frugalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273720976098302248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-83724557892812553452009-01-21T09:10:00.000-08:002009-01-21T09:10:00.000-08:00Safeway in my area is notorious for overcharging a...Safeway in my area is notorious for overcharging and they are, in my opinion, an already expensive store. If I were you I would go back and ask for a refund. It might not seem like a lot of money but imagine how much money they make from this kind of thing and customers NOT going back to ask for a refund.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-71751841061148475822009-01-21T05:07:00.000-08:002009-01-21T05:07:00.000-08:00I have $15 left in my grocery budget for the month...I have $15 left in my grocery budget for the month, too. I don't think that it's possible to stay within that, but I'm going to try to eat from my pantry and just buy milk and produce.RTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943531986749855178noreply@blogger.com
