A quick word on the Acme deal this week, the $5 instant savings–
I’ve seen it discussed in several places where shoppers are talking about using some Colgate coupons that will give them overage on the toothpaste. I had many different Colgate coupons, and none of them matched up. The $0.75 coupons are for a more expensive variety, it’s $2.50, not $0.99. The toothbrush coupons do not match up either.
Hey, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe there are $0.75 coupons out there that match up. But seeing as I get my inserts from all over southeastern PA, and several different newspapers, I doubt it.
This is the crap I’m getting sick of. It’s just mis-using a little coupon here & there, against the wording on the coupon…..and you betcha that Acme and Colgate/Palmolive are going to look at this closely and change it for the future. They’ll tighten the reins and make it harder on all of us. Harder to score deals, or they’ll only offer instant savings on products for which there aren’t currently any coupons out.
Are people really that hard up for a tube of toothpaste and $0.51? Why is it necessary to try to sneak this past the stores and the cashiers? Why can’t shoppers just stick to the wording on the coupons?
AMEN! Free toothpaste is available ALL the time -there is no reason to cheat to get it!
I hate cheaters. How can you teach your kids honesty and integrity but cheat and steal? Coupon fraud is a crime and is punishable. Lots of people think it’s fine and dandy to take a little from a big company — the store or the brand. But, it is not okay. Follow the rules. We learned that in preschool. If you don’t follow the rules, you will get caught and punished.
