I was making my monthly see-what-I-can-get-free-with-coupons trip at Target today. So, I collected my items and went to check-out. Some of my items were the Shout Wipes, 4 count, for $0.97 each. I brought 8 of them to the check-out counter and proceeded to use 4 $2/2 coupons.

When the cashier scanned my coupons, they only took off $0.97! The manager was called over and told me that those coupons really weren’t supposed to be used on those items. I then explained to her that the coupon did not specify size restrictions. The manager then said, “Well our register’s know it’s not supposed to be for that item so it will only take off $0.97.” I then politely told her that I did not want to purchase those items.

I purchased the rest of my items and headed to Wal-Mart. They also carry the Shout Wipes, 4 count, in the travel section for $0.97 each. I picked up 8 of them and headed to the check-out with my 4 $2/2 coupons. I let the cashier know that my coupons may need manager approval and he had no problem with it.

Much to my delight, the coupons scanned at Wal-Mart with NO PROBLEMS! (Only asking if the coupon was a valid amount).  I also give credit to the cashier for knowing how to answer the question: Valid coupon amount?

So… make sure you watch when the cashier scans your coupons to make sure the correct amount is taken off!

Also, note that I did not solely go to Wal-Mart just for the Shout Wipes. I also went for some freebies that Target did not carry:
