My extra care bucks have an expiration date on them, are they good after that?

This is a case of YMMV( your manager may vary) Some stores will accept your expired ecbs talk to the manager and ask I have several CVS's in my area and they are all different some dont take expired at all. Some take them for 7 days others for up to 30 days.

Coupon story from Wal-mart.  I had a $0.75 coupon.  I had it sitting on the little ledge while I was putting groceries in my cart at the register.  Between the clerk and I talking I forgot to hand it over before I slid my card for payment.  I went up to customer service and the gal handed me the change.  She went onto tell me it was no big deal since it just happened and it was only one.  But there are days where they have people come in the day after they make there purchases and try and use coupons.  The bigger $5.00 off ones for razors and that.  The don't bring the package or receipt in so it makes it impossible to comfirm yet people still expect to get the cash back.  I never realized how couponing could become taken for granted before.  The lady said, "our store just won't accept coupons the next day.  They can return there items and go shop again to use them if they want."

Wow people are some kinda crazy, I know some stored do a post coupon but the ones that have said yes already know me and will remember the products I bought

Coupons are great, but what ruins it for people are people like that who are trying to take advantage of the system.  You hear stories all the time where people try to use expired coupons or buy different items than what the coupoon is for, and then demand to use the coupons.

I always find great clearance prices at Kmart! Combined with my coupons I can usually get all my shampoo, conditioner and lotions for $1 or $2. I have a stockpile now!

[Skandon]

That's great!  The Kmarts around here are horrible.  They have nothing.  Walmart and Target are much better in south Florida.

This a great thread.

I'm not much of a coupon guy... usually just cash 'em in if they're on the package when I buy the item(s)... too lazy I guess.

Publix here is the best place to take coupons.

Are we allowed to put links into savings spots?  I'm a member of a radio shopping show in Illinois.  Just in case we can't put a direct link in I'll describe it so if any of you are interested in utilizing it it should be easy to Google.  The station I use is in the Aurora or Naperville area of Illinois.  It's on the a.m. station.  They have sister stations across the US.  The shopping show airs at certain times of the day..2 hour time slots.  I've gotten certificates for restaurants, services on my vehicles, hotel/theme park stays.  One time in a single phone call I spent more than $50 and received a free pair of tickets to see blue man group.  Other times I received free water park passes.  The certificates are only good for 90 days and they do not ... absolutely do not refund the value of the certificate...I take that back they did once when a smoothie company went out of business.  For those in Chicagolandor visiting the area this can be a great way to save some $$$
