Checkout Experience

Checkout Experience

Be organized when you get to the checkout lane. This will make your shopping experience more pleasant and make things go more smoothly. I place all the coupons in a zipper pencil pouch while I am shopping so I will be ready at checkout time. It works for me. I suggest a method that will work for you and you won't get frazzled at checkout.

Get familiar with a cashier or two, this helps the process, they will be familiar with your couponing and will know what to expect which will make this transaction easier. Try not to go to the grocery store during busy hours. The cashiers will not be as stressed if there is not a long line behind you.

Figure out what the best way to give the coupons to the cashier is. I like to give them all at the end. It makes for an easier transaction for me. Some like to give them when the cashier rings up the item.

Get rainchecks. I keep a pen & notepad handy to jot down sale items that I want a raincheck for so I don't forget when I checkout.

If you have any experiences that work for you, please let us know.
