Frustrated

There are so many different blogs out there, many different groups or pages on facebook and I hear of more popping up on instagram. They all supposedly are bringing you "deals." People wanting to learn how to coupon or just starting out will search the internet looking for things that will help them.

You see deals posted, see how much you could save and head out to duplicate the deal. However, not every deal you see in a blog on Facebook or instagram is within the couponing perimeters. This is what is frustrating to me.

Here is an example of one deal that I feel is not within the couponing perimeters.  In the past few days I have seen a deal you can do at Target regarding Swiffer refill products. As you will notice I have not mentioned this deal at all on my blog. I research all of the deals that I bring you. I went to the Target website and looked at what Swiffer products mention the $10 gift card you get when you buy three. The $4.26 Wet Mop refills that the blogs or pages mention do not say they are part of the Buy 3 Get a $10 Gift Card. I let this go for a bit until today. I decide to head to one of my local Target stores to verify this deal myself. I found no $4 item at all on my Target shelves for Swiffer.

I am also seeing on various blogs and pages that you can use more than one Target Mobile coupon if you text different offer words to Target. I read the terms and agreement on a mobile coupon I have and in my opinion you can only use one mobile coupon no matter what word you text.

I have an e-mail into Target to find out what the proper use of the Target Mobile Coupons are.

Anyone who knows me personally knows I am not going to lie to you or tell you to do something that is against the rules.  So why are all of these other people?  Why are they using coupons for toothpaste that clearly states it is for a larger size, but scans for the smaller then tell others about it so they can do it too?  NOOOOOO that is Coupon Fraud.  Yes there is a glitch in the system that the coupon scans for a smaller size, but you should not take advantage of it.  Then you wonder why certain stores you used to be able to use more than 4 like coupons at in the same transaction no longer lets you.

I may not bring you a lot of deals in one day, but you can be 100% percent sure my deals are completely honest/legit and within the couponing guidelines of either the store or in general.

Check the deals you plan on doing out for yourself.  Read your coupons are there any size restrictions, do they say on them do not double.  If the deal checks out enjoy doing it.  If not I highly advise against doing it.

Thank you for reading my post.
