I have had a few questions about how using food stamps work with coupons. While I’m not an expert in this area, I know that coupons should work great with food stamps. I have friends that have left over food stamps at the end of the month because they have stretched their savings with coupons.
Sadly though, things don’t always work so well.
A recent e-mail I got asked a question about eCoupons and Catalina Deals:
“If you have any E-coupons or a store/manufacturer promotion that gives an amount off when you purchase a certain amount of items. For example, Bi-lo was running the Kraft promo that gives you $6 off instantly wyb 10 items. I also had a P&G catalina for $1.00 off. At the end of the transaction, the total amount charged to my EBT card was $7 more than my actual total and the cashier handed my $7.00 back.
At Harris Teeter today, I had $1.40 in e-coupons which resulted in the change due back to me. However, the manager refused to give it to me. So now, my $1.40 in savings is still sitting in the cashiers drawer, my EBT card was charged $1.40 more than it should be & I lost $1.40 in e-coupons that I can not get back.”
So what are your thoughts on this? Have you ran into any issues using store promotions, coupons, e-coupons and food stamps? What is your experience with couponing and using food stamps?
Many of you have asked about making money or earning rewards online and here is a easy opportunity!
Synovate is currently accepting applications. Sign up if you are interested as there are a limited number of spots, and then surveys and opportunities will start to come to your email. Most surveys will take 5-10 minutes to complete, but the best part to me is that you can stop in the middle of it and come back when you get a second.
When you register, you’ll also get 500 bonus points to get started! You should also get a survey within a few minutes for another 250 points.
This is one company that I have used in the past (when I had more free time). They do send you good opportunities and we even got full size products to review and give feedback on.
On a side note: You will not get rich from any online survey companies, just think of this as easy Starbucks or date night money.
