Sometimes we run into problems
This is our trip to Rite Aid this week. We ran into The We Can’t Take Internet Coupons issue at the Daphne store. We must have jinked ourselves by writing about this yesterday.
The Daphne Rite Aid clerk questioned our internet coupons. The Daphne Rite Aid has in the past taken our internet coupons while the Fairhope store has been hit and miss on taking them. The last trip was a hit, the store manager physically took the coupons (see comment from Rite Aid post). This time the Daphne clerk said “we can’t accept them unless they have a Rite Aid logo on the coupon”. We just smiled and said “Is this a new policy at this store?” She said “you know what I am not sure, let me check with the manager”. We said “OK, we don’t want to get you in trouble”. Few minutes later she said the manager would take them.
Success!!! Smiling and being nice does it almost every time. 
We were prepared to buy the products for a fraction of the cost without the internet coupons (see below). Here are the details of what we bought with the internet coupons.

Just for grins and giggles, let’s say that you did not pick up last Sunday’s paper and the store would not take the internet coupons only the Rite Aid coupons. Here is the cost for purchasing the same products.
