Coupon Lingo:
What’s a “filler”?
A Filler is an item added onto your basket purchase to make the number of coupons in hand equivalent to the number of items purchased.
…
This is especially true at Walgreens.
Example:
If you have four coupons, but 3 items, the fourth coupon will not be accepted. So what do you do? Get a “filler.” A filler can be anything from $0.01 to whatever. Always go for the seasonal promo (like valentine cups for $0.25 or $0.15 treat bags)…
CVS, Walmart, and Rite Aid do not require fillers for sure…
Did you know that if your checkout total is a (-) balance at Walmart, their store coupon policy states that they have to “Pay YOU!!!” Awesome! If they’re hesitant, just add a “filler,” or ask for a store credit.
HOMEWORK: Read your store’s coupon policy.
=) Have fun shopping!!
