Have you ever used a back-of-the grocery receipt coupon?

My wife does all the time, she is a couponing nut. But she does save us quite a bit of money doing it.

Nope. I really wish they'd stop asking me if I even want a receipt. Such a waste of paper.

I always want a receipt. I occasionally find discrepancies between the computer and the posted price. The computer rang up $6 of cherries at $5.99 a pound instead of $1.99 a pound. I'm not paying $18 for damn cherries! Pointed it out to customer service. Got the cherries for free. Sometimes they leave up a sale sign for an item from the prior week. Not my fault. Give the item to me for free.

It's so rare to find a physical coupon for what I need that I've given up on them. I do a quick check for coupon codes whenever I shop online at somewhere other than Amazon though.

When someone tries to hand me a massive 3' long receipt I like to pretend I have no concept of what is going on and won't even reach for it. I'll just give a blank slack jawed stare until they awkwardly ask if I want the receipt and I'll silently shake my head no until they tell me to have a nice day as a signal for me to leave.

Yep. Same here. That's one reason. Another is when you get home and realize that $18 steak or fish fillet is bad.

The only retail place I ever tell them to keep or throw away the receipt is the liquor store. I know at the checkout if the prices are rung up correctly and I'm not returning anything. I remember _one_ time getting a case of beer home and discovering a broken bottle, probably happened at the brewery since the case was completely dry. Not even worth the time to return it or get a partial refund.

When I bought my DeWalt 40 volt string trimmer from Lowes at point of sale the register generated a receipt coupon for a free DeWalt 40 volt battery. Sent it in and sure enough they sent me a battery so now I have two. That battery is $150.00 -$200.00.

One time I got a subway coupon for a free medium fountain drink with purchase of a regular price 6-inch sub.
