(missing from the photo are 12 Totinos Pizzas, milk, bread & Danimals Crunch Cups)
Wait... what? I live in PA but I am going to New Jersey? In case you are new to the site. I'll quickly fill you in. In PA, the ShopRite and the Wies here only double up to $0.99. So if I have a coupon that is for $0.50, when it doubles, I get $0.99 off. If I have a coupon for $0.75 off... it also only doubles to $0.99. Depending on what the coupon is and what is on sale at the store.... chances are I am going to Jersey BECAUSE they FULLY double their coupons. My $0.75 coupon will double to $1.50 off!!!! SCORE! If I have a $0.99 coupon it doubles to $1.98 off!!! Also (IMO) the cashiers in Shoprite in PA are so rude and so negative, I really hate going there. They treat their coupon customers so badly. The cashiers make up their own rules what they will take and what they will not. They play the picture game. You know, you can only redeem the coupon for the item that is pictured. UGH..... so that's another reason why I go to Jersey.
In (Hackettstown) New Jersey, not only do their coupons fully double but their cashier and stock boys are so polite, courteous and helpful!! I could be standing in an isle looking aimlessly at a shelf and someone will come up and ask me if I need help. If you are looking for something that is sold out on the shelf, they will check in the back for you. The best part is the cashiers treat you like a customer. The way everyone should be treated. My cashier today was Theresa and she was awesome. I broke my order into 6 transactions to maximize my coupons and OOP expense.
