Is There a Way to Coupon Like This?

Also in QLD
New South Wales too (the best state)
Coupon is a noun, not a verb.
And so are google and shazam. It's only a matter of time.
People are becoming less skilled at Englishing.
that's unpossible
Yes, the verb is to coupe.
plus if you have enough coupons, cash backs, discount gift cards then you can over throw the government for up to 80% off. this is known as a Coup d'état
Coupon d'état*
Revolutions have never been this affordable!
I really doubt it.
there is but its with cashbacks i.e
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/469493 spend $10.50 on mexican food and get $10 back
This is still spending
No way that I know, and thank God for that.
Can you imagine going into Woolies/Coles and there is only 1 manned checkout open and this woman is in front of you??? That's how people flip out.
No need to imagine, often get stuck behind someone paying with half a dozen separate gift cards that they've been given from some charity.
The $2 cashback deals on Amazon netted you a small profit if you had prime for free delivery and bought an item under $2.
She said that it all comes from god so you need to get him/her signed up
Most of the "Extreme Couponing" episodes are fake.
We rarely, if ever, see coupons like that here in Oz.
On my trips to the US years ago, I used to be amazed at the amount of coupons stuffed in the Sunday newspapers every week. Even managed to use a few of them for items to bring home, but only one or two. No room in my bag for 54 bottles of detergent!
I suspect this woman buys the newspapers or gets friends, family and neighbours to collect the inserts every week.
It's a way of life over there, somehow doubt it would work here. And yes, being stuck behind a couponer in a supermarket queue would cause riots in today's woefully undermanned supermarkets.
oh man, I wish we got coupons like the Americans :,)
Although that stupid ben and jerrys backfired and i need to chase up my refund :@
I doubt we would ever see it here.
The supermarkets would hate it as it would take too much time to process customers and they would need to staff checkouts to deal with them. Trusting people to do the right thing at self checkouts would be a bridge way too far.
Anerican supermarkets have (or did have - not been there for a long time) lots of manned checkouts. Staff are paid a pittance so there's plenty of them.
Given the state of teh economy here, supermarkets would be overwhelmed with coupon shoppers all eager to save money.
Giving away plastic rubbish which forces people to pay full price and buy more stuff than they need to qualify is a much more profitable way to get the punters in the door.
It could be streamlined pretty easily with the use of the rewards cards. Log onto the woolies website and register the coupon code to your account, scan card at register to get the coupon benefit.
Pretty much the same as how they handle the accrued petrol discounts now.@ssquid: Supermarkets need the physical coupons to return to the manufacturer for reimbursement as I understand the process in the US.
Might be possible to automate it as you say, but neither Coles or Woolworths would want the extra costs involved in handling and administering such a scheme.
@johninmelb: Supermarkets will do anything for data collection, look at click and collect - they get their own staff to do the shopping for the customer in exchange for a detailed copy of their shopping list.
mate, i finally picked a mini coles toy thing…i cant believe ppl lose their sh!t over this junk. it's mental.
You are right though about costs and alternatively successful marketing, but I don't think Aussie shoppers are as coupon/sales smart as American's, although I guess that could change over time and education. I mean I know a lot of us shop the half price specials schedule but OzBargainer's aside, when i try to explain that certain products are essentially on sale 40-60% of the year so that the real price should be the sale price, ppl just glaze their eyes and say it's too much work. It kills me, because it's not really.
Again, with the "spend $50 get 1000 points" that WW/Coles do, OzBs are smart enough to make the most of it - making sure we only buy essentials that are on sale/normal price we'd expect to pay (e.g. you'd never pay full price on a box of coke to hit the $50 spend for the points). Not only do most ppl not care about those offers, but I'm sure a large portion of people that do use the offers, do it wrong!
If you put your life on it, anything could work! I'm guessing those 56 coupons, etc took months to collect.
In Australia? Sometimes in supermarkets, buy a gift card, get 2000 points… but like I said nothing to make a life out of it.
Better ==> collect empty bottles and return for ¢10 a bottle in SA/NT and some other states
