    Debt-free and Proud!
    Just got back from Sains after successfully returning the l'oreal cream :j

    Lovely young guy on CS, no probs! My heart was beating fast and I reckon I blushed a bit. Ooops! Still, all fine. Thank you again fuzzgun and everyone else for helpful tips as always.

    Couldn't find any emmi coffees as my local Sains is quite small so I thought I'd use the cussons coupon on a 'bump' bath soak that was now 87p. Also got a reduced kids meal for the foodbank thinking yay, I'll have some overage. SS till did not like my coupon and the girl on SS said I wasn't allowed to get the full £1 off. She took off 87p manually. So still good because I got it for free but a little bit annoyed I didn't get that 13p overage off of my other item.

    What have your experiences been with Sains and overage? Should I have gone to a manned till?

    I always use SS tills, and it depends what staff you get. I had a £5 Nivea voucher after feedback and brought a bottle for around £2.50 - she popped in the entire £5.00 value so I had a tub of strawberry's for free.

    I found in my local store, the younger female members of staff are the trout's and the older ones coupon themselves, and encourage it from customers.
    Wishing you all good luck!
