A Tale of Free Yogurt

|

If you want some free Breyers yogurt, get yourself this coupon ... or maybe you have it already, it's the $.50/1 Breyers product from the 10/26 RP (this was not the coupon that inserts in the DC metro area had). The only place I could find this yogurt was Giant.

When I saw this post on Money Saving Mom, I was really excited about getting some free yogurt. So, I went straight to my coupons. Unfortunately, I received a $1/2 instead of the $.50/1 that other regions got. No problem. I ordered coupons off of ebay. Then, once they arrived, I realized that my usual grocery store, Safeway, does not carry Breyers yogurt. Okay, so, I went to Giant today to load up on free yogurt. I don't normally shop at Giant, but I knew that they double coupons up to $.50 and the Breyers yogurt was priced at $.80. When I checked out, though, the coupon beeped and the cashier didn't know what to do. I explained that she might have to adjust the price of the coupon down. She didn't know how to proceed, though, and called her manager to "help out". The manager looked at the coupon and said, "this is for ice cream." I explained that no, it was actually for any Breyers product as stated in the print. She replied, "What do you want me to do, give you free yogurt?" I said, "I want you to charge me the price of the coupon minus the value of my coupon." She ended up having the cashier ring me up without the coupons and then gave me a $10 bill after I checked out. I'm guessing that's not what they're supposed to do, but it worked out pretty well for me!

I had the same experience with this coupon when I tried this deal. The manager put it through for me though. Yay!
