I have a question on the policy, can I use something like the curad print out that is $1 off any curad product on double tuesday and buy as many hydrogen peroxide or bandaids as I want or may I only use the same coupon once? The same question goes for other coupons as well I guess where I print them off from different computers, am I allowed to use those as long as they have different coupon numbers on them?
thank you! I printed the policy and will bring with me when I shop-90percent of the time the caisher gives me a hard time when the coupon value exceeds the item. I had to remind a cashier that it is their policy I can still purchase the item with coupon (after she told me I couldn’t) It will be good to have their policy with me, in case it happens again. Its awesome getting a great deal, it just bothers me when cashiers get mad that you are a wise shopper!
