MORE TIPS

Sometimes you will find a great deal in the paper, but when you get into the store the entire
shelf is empty! RAINCHECK!!! Most stores will give you a rain check, if you ask. This just allows
you to get the sale price when the item is back in stock, even if it is after the sale is over.

LINGO

BOGO …..Buy one get one free. Payless has made most of us familiar with this. But what this
means at the register is that instead of getting one free, you pay half price for both.

Purchase…for the purpose of coupon text and exclusions “purchase” means the actual item you
are trying to be. So the term “limit one coupon per purchase” means you cannot use any other
coupon on that one sale item.

Transaction……again, this is about the text on the coupon. “Limit 4 per transaction” means that
you can only use four of that same coupon on one receipt. There is nothing that limits you from
splitting your purchases up into five different transactions. And no one will say a thing!!!!!

Purchase and transaction seem to get switcharoo'd in some people’s heads in my experience. So
hopefully you will find this helpful if you need to help your cashier along. They aren’t always
knowledgeable about this stuff either.

So that covers the intro. I’m going to post a weekly blog here and let you know what I have found. If it
helps great, if not…….well let’s just stick with “IT WILL HELP”.
