At least it seems way on the other side since it can take so long to get to that side going through Antioch! Unless I hear good things about it, I probably won't go out of my way to it! Oh but maybe they'll have good coupon booklets!

I've shopped Nippers Corners a few times and Belle Meade a few times and both were ok, but I don't feel the love like I do at MF. I will also never shop Goodlettsville store again. ugh. <br />It all trickles down from the store manager. And the MF store manager is awesome. Very coupon friendly. He told me once he will never turn away a coupon because people choose to shop at his store and he wants to keep his customers. Now THAT is customer service! <br /><br />I net the manager you like has been training at the new Antioch store. I know one of the mgrs I really like from MF has been over there. I wonder who they are transferring to that store? Heck, I wonder where that store is??Earthy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235627001435406029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-84451301079413718412009-07-29T22:12:51.409-05:002009-07-29T22:12:51.409-05:00Maybe I need to just shop at the Maryland Farms st...Maybe I need to just shop at the Maryland Farms store!! Seems like you and LA girl have a much easier time there! It's just further out of my way and inconvienent with all that Old Hickory Blvd traffic! (I'm smack in the middle of Nipper's Corner and Concord stores!) I always feel like the manager's are questioning what I do if I do anything that requires an override! so i always have an equal # of q's and items and make sure i don't go under! I have only found one manager that would push stuff through, and I haven't seen her lately!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802096966996633009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-35006019861960609712009-07-29T09:52:59.300-05:002009-07-29T09:52:59.300-05:00Stacey, I never use the self-checkout so I'm n...Stacey, I never use the self-checkout so I'm not sure if it beeps as it goes negative. (My coupons almost always beep anyway b/c I have more than $50 in q's, or more q's than items -due to competitor q's.) The manager always overrides the beeps. As long as there's a positive balance, they will keep scanning q's. However, I have fond that if the last q scanned is one that will double, it may not double, or will only double up to the amount before tax. So put any q's to double at the top of your stack.Earthy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235627001435406029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-3573707500996242242009-07-29T09:45:47.540-05:002009-07-29T09:45:47.540-05:00Which coupons can you use to go over?

So usually I avoid that by throwing in something small at the register.

A good friend of mine lives near there and always shops at that store. :) I often shop at the Clarksville Target, but I have had them deny the $1/1 q's on the trial sizes a few times (always aim for the colege student cashiers- they could care less and push it all through). When I know I am going to be getting a lot of overage, I shop at the Brentwood Target near the Brentwood Publix I shop at. I'd be happy to help you out! I am currently gathering all my q's for next week's Publix shop based on the sneak peek- so we'll see. My biggest problem is not being able to just run in and price check something to know exactly what prices will be. So I have to wait until the ads are posted, or until someone can check them for me. <br />Nice to meet you!Earthy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235627001435406029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-2401794741701682562009-07-26T20:58:51.270-05:002009-07-26T20:58:51.270-05:00I live in Clarksville also and shop the west end p...I live in Clarksville also and shop the west end publix.

Derrick- LO...Margery- you're quite welcome! ;)<br /><br />Derrick- LOL! All kinds of places. A lot of them are insert coupons. I buy one-four papers per week, unless it's a REALLY good week, then I buy more. I also hit up a recycle bin for inserts (although I haven't been lately). I pick up tearpad coupons when I see them, as well as coupon booklets a few here and there, usually found at Publix, and ocassionally Food Lion. I trade for some on HotCouponWorld, and I have several friends that trade amongst ourselves, so if they see something I don't, they grab them for me and we swap. <br /><br />Of course, there are lots of internet printable coupons out there, and for a while, I was sending "kudos" emails to companies for great products, and they would send out coupons to me as a thank you. I haven't done that in a while, but I need to get back on it! I got some great "FREE" coupons. <br /><br />Oh, I also join whatever clubs I can to get coupons, like Publix's Baby Club and Preschool Club, and Save-a-Lot's baby club. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting!Earthy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235627001435406029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-13904058787904463032009-07-26T01:31:45.737-05:002009-07-26T01:31:45.737-05:00Where in the world do you get all those coupons fr...Where in the world do you get all those coupons from????Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915834771843217860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-75970197925363893232009-07-25T11:05:08.290-05:002009-07-25T11:05:08.290-05:00Margery, I agree!

The one near me is very hit and miss when it comes to that. The last time I went there they wouldn't even take my Axe coupons for trial size items because they were a penny cheaper than face value. I mean, Come ON! <br />The $5/$10 and $5/$20 were from Save-a-Lot. If you go to their website and sign up for their shopper's club, they will email you a coupon for $5/$20, and then sign up for their baby club. They sent me some baby coupons in the mail, and with them was a $5/$10 purchase coupon! hat's a GREAT one! Then I also was able to use a $5/$25 Rite Aid (although that one is hit and miss as well as to whether the cashier will take them).Earthy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235627001435406029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-62519276005677177652009-07-25T05:20:46.724-05:002009-07-25T05:20:46.724-05:00It is a blessing that you got so much overage at T...It is a blessing that you got so much overage at Target. My Target sometimes gives me so much hassle about coupons that I even gave up shopping there for a while. Where did you get the $5/$10 Qs and $5/$25Qs? My Publix will let me use one $5/$25 Rite Aid, but I would love to know where to find more $-offs.Margeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410008315800723080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-39406196865228194672009-07-24T21:24:09.827-05:002009-07-24T21:24:09.827-05:00Wow, what great trips!
