\nBEST BUY<\/strong>
\nBest Buy reported their profit in the second quarter dropped 90%! Not a good sign. Their co-founder, that was kicked out of the company, wants to purchase them and turn them private. People who shop at Best Buy are tech savvy so they make most of their purchases online, bypassing Best Buy stores. They need to balance the deals so that some deals can only be found in the stores and not online. <\/p>\n

RESTAURANT.COM<\/strong>
\nSo much for 80% codes anymore on Restaurant.com. Mostly 50% and 60% off codes now. Still a great deal to get a $25 gift certificate for $10 and even less with the code. Restaurants were balking at the high discount codes and for a time some restaurants wouldn’t allow them. Now they don’t offer them as much and at higher discounts so the restaurants stopped requesting for the code not being allowed.<\/p>\n

Some people shy away from Restaurant.com because a restaurant decided to stop taking the certificate. I always call ahead of ask before I order to make sure they take it still. Sometimes I’ve found the restaurant was closed for good! Good thing I called. <\/p>\n

The certificates don’t expire, so that is an improvement when they used to expire in a year. Groupons and other daily deal certificates tend to expire in a short amount of time, but not the restaurant.com certificates which don’t expire. <\/p>\n

You can even reprint old ones that are in your account that don’t show used. You may be surprised as to how many you have. Check your account for credits too. Restaurants that don’t take the certificate including closed location will just be credited to your account. You may just need to go to your account to redeem them. Even those purchased before 2009 can be found on your account on the site.<\/p>\n

DAILY DEAL OVERLOAD<\/strong>
\nDo you get daily deals e-mailed to you from a ton of different sources? Do you look at every one of them? Does it make your head spin? Do you kind of ignore them all now? You may even find all the deals I send as too much. Yes, trying to keep up with all the deals can be overwhelming. You get numb to what may really be a deal. Some aren’t even deals, but just like any price you can find in a store or any ordinary sale. Chasing every deal can be exhaustive too. So what to do?<\/p>\n

My recommendation is to make sure you have the time for it. Are there other priorities that aren’t being met? Do you need to adjust the amount of time spent deal-shopping so that you can spend more time with family or take care of that broken door knob. But on essentials like food, it pays to save as much as you can. Especially when finances are tight. Not saving as much as you can now can save you a world of trouble later. Fighting about money is the norm in many relationships and it is the #1 reason for divorce. Sometimes spouses or boyfriend\/girlfriends don ‘t understand us couponers obsession with deals. That can also lead to rifts. But that may be because the other person never led a thrifty life and had financial issues of their own. There are some that chase every deal and that can put a strain on a relationship too. Just like balance is good for an Olympian on a pommel horse it is good in relationships too. As fun as the pommel horse is sometimes you have to get off of it every so often.<\/p>\n

I hear people complain about how much time it takes to coupon, etc. Studies have shown that for every hour couponing you save $100. That’s plenty more than any job will pay someone per hour, so it can be worth the effort. Better to have a cushion of cash in these uncertain economic times. So chase the best deals and remember to take a breather here and there.<\/p>\n

EXPIRED COUPONS<\/strong>
\nExpired coupons, the bane of couponing. Registers will let you know if you’ve used an expired coupon by beeping. All that is needed is a spotlight, blaring horns, and security behind you to feel like you have done something wrong. Most everyone has accidentally used an expired coupon. When they make the print so small and when you are in a rush you don’t always check; it can happen.<\/p>\n

What it comes down to is coupons expire too quick nowadays. Back in the day, many coupons didn’t expire or expired in half a year. Now, you’re lucky if it doesn’t expire in less than three months. The average expiration date in the first half of 2012 according to Kanta Media was 7.5 weeks, down 9.2 percent versus a year ago. So yes, it wasn’t your imagination, the expiration dates have been steadily getting worse. Get this, in 1990, coupons, on average, expired in 4.9 months. No wonder some people get turned off to couponing when they get frustrated with short expiration dates. Even electronic coupons and some daily deal site certificates expire quickly. It takes time to clean our expired coupons, especially if you’re an extreme couponer. When will they reverse the trend and start increasing the expiration date? There are powerful advocates for retailers and manufacturers that need to start siding with the consumer. They need to make it a win win proposition.<\/p>\n

Once the economy starts to run on all cylinders I can foresee manufacturers taking a hit because people won’t buy their product anymore because people will turn away from couponing and just buy what is on sale or what they really want. To entice people to use coupons they may need to lengthen the expiration dates. Some manufacturers decided to shorten dates to stop extreme couponers from purchasing multiple coupons through clipping services in time to use them for a sale…no thanks to the Extreme Couponing show that didn’t show couponers in the best light.<\/p>\n

Coupons entice people to buy a product they normally wouldn’t over one they might prefer. For someone on a tight budget that is the only way to shop. Longer expiration dates will help cashiers and stores not have to deal with so many expireds too. Plus more products with better expiration date coupons will allow manufacturers to sell more of their product creating higher volume sales which will lower their costs too. Again, make it win win.<\/p>\n

One store that did make it a win win was Tops back in the day. They actually accepted expired coupons as their policy. That lasted a year and half until they moved out of the Cleveland market. Most people weren’t aware of the policy though. They even doubled and sometimes tripled coupons too.<\/p>\n

OUT OF STOCK<\/strong>
\nNothing is annoying as not finding an item on sale in stock. It makes me want to spin in circles on the floor like Shemp from the Three Stooges when I can’t find the item I want in stock. Recently I sent a message to Walgreens since the store by me always seems to be out of something and even though I’m there around noon on Sundays on the day the items first go on sale. I get the “come back when the truck comes on Thursday” reply when they don’t have something in stock. I’ve never seen this magic truck. After stopping back at the store on Thursday a handful of times and finding that the item wasn’t on the truck I just stopped making the second trip.<\/p>\n

Stores know what items will be hot sellers since they are free after register rewards or on a super deal and can order accordingly. They have a history of how it would sell too. Sometimes the managers do well at certain stores that follow that protocol. I’ve even thought to stop in at midnight to get the items. I’ve done that a handful of times, but then I find myself wanting to curl up in the bread section and take a snooze. The rye seeds from the rye bread don’t make for comfortable sleeping either. Somebody also tried to buy me thinking I was on the shelf to be sold. That was not a pretty scene. While the store was trying to figure out if I was a taxable item I made a run for it.<\/p>\n

There is a law that stores need to provide a raincheck if they advertise the item and it doesn’t state that there are limited quantities. Stores sometimes limit the amount purchased and that helps, but when there are only a case of two of the product on the truck then that item will sell out quickly. Stores just need to manage inventory better and their systems are equipped to do so. Store managers should know how to handle hot sellers too. I’ve requested like items at times to replace the sale item with success. The problem is that getting rainchecks and requesting replacements take time and that is not always convenient and can be annoying. <\/p>\n

I always recommend complaining to management. Try the ‘Contact Us’ section on their web-site so there is a hard copy that goes to their upper management. They seem to react better when an issue is being noticed by higher ups. Or just don’t shop there anymore. Sales go down, then the store needs to figure out why and might put two and two together to notice all the complaints as to why shoppers have decided not to shop there anymore.<\/p>\n
