Crest white strips found ......
Not sure if this is the place to post, but wanted to let Jacksonville, fl shoppers know that I found some of the Crest white strips at the Publix in St. John's Town Center. Side of endcap on a hang bar, with other travel size items. $5.99, and the cashier did check my coupons to make sure they matched up and no beeps. Hope this helps someone.
FYI I found them at the cashiers lane with the gum and candy.
thanks!
I found them in the HBA next to the big box of white strips. My coupon beeped, until the complex barcode was covered and simple barcode was scanned. The Customer Service Manager happily read over my coupons and the product and approved my purchase. I bought two. About 6 were left at the Publix in Kendall and 167th Ave.
if you're looking in the right area then you won't miss it...it's just a smaller size box and looks like the bigger ones w/the same colors and everything..
Our Publix has them in the actual heath and beauty aisle. Theyre like randomly separated from the rest of the white strips in the middle of the aisle. Theyre really hard to miss, but still were cleared from the shelf. xD If they dont have them tomorrow, Im gonna see if they can order me a box.
After visiting 6 stores looking for the white strips I now understand the frustration the stores are having. When the shelf was empty I went to customer service and asked if they had any more in the back. Each time I was told that one person bought all three CASES that were put on the shelf that morning. They were sorry and they didn't know how to make it fair to all customers as the one customer that continues to do this calls corporate to complain if they do not allow her to take all the stock. She just separates the orders or continues to go to the car to drop off her order so she can walk in and do it again. She repeats this until the shelf is cleared.
I hate to hear people who abuse the couponing like this. This is what is causing the stores to scrutinize everything we do to save. It makes all couponers look bad. And ruins it for everyone. Eventually they are going to change the policies to prevent the great savings we are getting.
I live in Tampa. Are any of you running into this in your area's?
wow! how selfish. I haven't even seen one and that person is buying all of it.
Wow, thats really ridiculous. I feel bad for customer service. Theyre kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place with shelf clearers and such.
My area is not heavily couponed, so I was the reason my publix (the only one in the area to have them on the shelves in the first place) removed them from the shelves. I bought 2, received a lot of attitude about using the coupons on them, and the next day they were gone. Box, shelf tag and all gone. I am surprised your publixes in Tampa haven't pulled them as well if they are upset about this woman buying them all
They took all the tags down here as well.
I have never seen them at any of the stores around me.
We must have a shelf clearer here in the Delray, Boynton area,I spoke with a mgr yesterday in Delray and he told me his exact words were my store can only take care of one extreme couponer at a time,and the one has bought every white stripe every time they come in! I was able to get some in the north end of town only because they are keeping them in the back now so I just ask for a few, and they gave them to me! But they are actually being used at my house,lol.So its a greatdeal not having to purchase the bigger boxes for such a big
I wasn't able to purchase these today in the Tampa area (Land O' Lakes). They had two full boxes on the shelves - I should have known it was too good to be true. I will try a few more Publix's before the coupons expire.
Wow...I tried the Land O Lakes store a couple days ago and they didn't have any. Did they not let you get them or what happened??? The stores I was referring to earlier were the Citrus Park stores and they were willing to sell them. They just couldn't figure out a way to prevent the one hoarder from taking them all :(
I went to one publix around here (not the one I usually go to) and the lady that I asked about them said that A. they dont carry the travel size because theyre a high theft item and B. publix sent an email out company wide about the white strips because people were abusing the coupon by using them for some other whitestrips that the coupon didnt call for and that they were also trying to use them on the 3D toothpaste.
