Lower Limits on Sale Items?

**shoiji** · 07-20-2011, 04:58 PM

This has been increasing at the grocery store where I shop for atleast the past year and a half. Fortunately they have no problem ringing up items separately. So yes, I would split 8 items into two transactions if I really needed the product and had a great price.

Fortunately, right now the stockpile is pretty full. Also, only have to worry about enough for one person.

I can't believe it's still on now. I mean if you have seen one you have seen them all.

Today in our flyers, I'm noticing Walmart is doing limits. Sale $3.99 limit 2, after limit $5.49.

Now this is a double edged sword, it's pain in a way as I feed 8 kids(3 teens) and 2 adults and whatever friends, but at the same time, I know there is likely to be SOMETHING there when I go. If it means breaking shopping into 2 trips, so be it. I'm fine with that. Couponing hasn't been big here until extreme couponing, a show I've only heard about. I've always had a stockpile, I'm always asked if I'm an extreme couponer.... I wouldn't think so, but I am trying to spend as little as possible.
