There are lots of money-saving and coupon and deal blogs out there. I don’t know if one is particularly better than the next, it all really depends on what stores and items you like, and whether or not they mesh with the author.
Last week, several of them were doing posts on coupon fraud. I don’t know what prompted this sudden surge of posting about it; I don’t know of a particular incident that happened.
One thing is for sure–all the deals you find here will be legit. If stores tighten down their policies, I’ll find ways to work around it. Like I said in my Kmart post this week, I enjoy a challenge. If you’re going to use coupons fraudulently to get a deal, well, where is the wisdom in that?
So I find it incredibly ironic, that some of the blogs that posted about coupon fraud this week are now posting about the Neuragen deal at Walgreen’s. What is the Neuragen deal, you ask? Well, don’t worry about it. Because there is no huge moneymaking deal on Neuragen, unless you’re using the coupon against the wording on it. And that’s just not cool, imo. I keep reading on these other blogs, comments from users who are saying “It kept beeping but the cashier pushed it through!” Duh, why do you think it was beeping? Because you’re using it on a product not intended. Walgreen’s may not get reimbursed for it. And at the end of the day, it hurts all of us.
Don’t do it.
I so agree with you.
I have no need for Neuragen, so no matter how much of a money-maker it might be, I didn't bother to read about that deal. It fell into the category of "What would I possibly do with this product?" Now that you've pointed out that it's not legit, I can skip any reference to this deal and not feel like I'm missing something.
I don't know why people try to do things fraudulently.
I think it's more fun to do it right and make money off a deal. Makes me feel good because I followed all these crazy rules about standing on my head and shopping on the 3rd Tuesday of every other month to get my stuff cheap or free!
