this happened to me at a store for pepsi's free coupon after the superbowl. they gave it on regular paper instead of a nice thick paper with a hologram because they gave out a huge number of coupons. well the cashier refused to accept it because she claimed i copied it. i was so embarrassed. i took it to another store though and got my pepsi!

Melissa Glenn says:

So many places wont even take "free" coupons. I've also learned that most of the stores that take the free coupons only take the ones that were sent to you, not those that you can print.

Deborah Booth says:

True…when its FREE…THEY LOOK AT YOU AND THE COUPON, BACK & FORTH,LIKE 10 TIMES1 LOL maybe if i took Watson with me…all the attention would be on him and his cuteness…giggle

I actually had a cashier that called over the manager because of my printable coupons. She said that it was a copy and the manager just shook his head, rolled his eyes and said "No, it is not a copy. It is a valid coupon that is printed from the internet. You should've gone over it in training. After you are done, come to my office." Oops! Guess she should've paid better attention during training.

i redeemed like 10 ,maybe more,i had a very kool cashier,im also very nervous if it gonna be a hassle or not,but i got $45 dollars in merchandise after coupons i payed $1.63 !

I like checkers who will just scan the coupon without comment, then, if there's a problem with the scan they might question it, understandably. The worst is when it is a legitimate coupon but it won't scan for some reason. Argh!

Mona Ani says:

I think that its okay to use free product coupons as long as you don't make a habit of it. You should pay something for what you get because the people creating it paid for the materials.

Although this is an older video I chose this one to be my first comment for the Walmart giveaway because its one of my favorites.

Laura Beth Loggins says:

this is why i love free item coupons with a hologram. they are hardly ever questioned. thanks for the chance at the hoover vac!

Melissa Wolf says:

Thanks for the great coupon tips! I love coupons!! Thanks for the opportunity to win the Hoover!!

Rambling Holly says:

I never really had a problem with the free coupons. Some times the cashiers go over it too much but that is because all the new interests of couponing. I think some times it can be embarrassing when the cashiers act like you are trying to get over on them but there have been people to do this and now we have to pay for it. I am also entering the mystery box giveaway.

Shanon Gibson says:

I always worry about the reaction of a freebie coupon. I agree with you that if it seems flimsy it doesn't seem lagit. It would give me a headache too. posting for the mystery box.

Kathy Alexander says:

For Wreck-It Ralph Giveaway….I agree, have had problems redeeming some coupons that I know are real when they look fake….can be frustrating….

Katie Jaloszynski says:

This is for the Wreck-it Ralph Giveaway: We have a grocery store that doesn't take any coupons that don't have the holigrams because they can't tell if it's fake or not with out it. So, I share your frustrations. And I totally agree with everything you said.

I never paid attention to the free coupons before but you made some very valid points, especially the paper thickness. Will be checking more often now. This is for Wreck it Ralph giveaway

(This comment is for the Flash Giveaway)- I love how you taught us what to look for in a "fake" coupon!

Amy Qualman says:

OMG I am sooooooooooooooooo right there with you!!! I wish they'd just send me the product instead of the coupon… I like how you explained the difference between "good" free coupons and "not good" free coupons. Maybe this will make the manufacturers change their coupon frees! This is for the Tinkerbell Giveaway! Thanks girl!

raptorsfamily says:

I like how you explain and what to really look for and how a real coupon can look fake.

Braijackavamax says:

Tinkerbell giveaway. I completely understand! But I feel bad wasting these coupons if they are valid.
