      Kroger Won't Accept Coupons From ...Kroger?

      John printed out some coupons from grocery store Kroger's Web site. That's not where he went wrong, though. John had the audacity to try to exchange them for discounts. On Kroger brand products. At Kroger. Experienced coupon users can guess what happens next. More »

      The Extra Fiber In Quaker Natural Granola: Chunks Of Wood

      James' seven-year-old daughter was happily noshing on her Quaker Natural Granola when she came across this chunk of wood. Quaker was quick to send James a coupon so he could buy more woody granola from Costco, but then offered a refund when reminded that the bulk warehouse doesn't accept manufacturer's coupons. More »

      2-Foot-Long CVS Receipt Doubles As Party Streamer

      Matt sent Consumerist an e-mail with the subject line, "Why is my receipt two feet long?" See, he shopped at CVS, purchased one item, used the self-checkout machine, and walked away with a receipt longer than my dog. This is a massive waste of paper, especially when you multiply it by the number of CVS stores and the number of purchases at each one, but it isn't completely pointless. More »

      Fast Food Restaurants: Stop With The "Free" Promotions Already

      Dear Quiznos, KFC, Arby's, and any other food chain that wants to offer freebies without first securing full buy-in from your franchisees: please stop it. Either the coupons are honored or they're not; there is no try. More »

If you had rotten luck this morning but still insist on getting a free candy bar coupon via snail mail in six weeks, try the site now; I just did and was able to get a coupon without any delay (less than 2 minutes total time on the site).

      El Pollo Loco Says It Will Honor Your Broken KFC Coupons On Mother's Day

      KFC On Oprah: Everybody Gets A Chicken! Everybody Gets A Chicken!

      Oprah is promoting KFC's grilled chicken, and has hooked the entire Internet up with a coupon for a free grilled chicken meal.

      The coupon can only be downloaded until 10:59 PM Eastern time tomorrow, so hurry. It can be used any day from now until May 15—except May 10, Mother's Day. Because what kind of cheap bastard uses a free meal coupon to take their mother out to dinner on Mother's Day?

      8Coupons.com Lets You Send Local Coupons To Your Phone

      Online coupons still haven't caught on, really, but 8coupons.com may be worth checking out if you want to give it a try in your own city. Instead of implementing some high-concept location aware thing, they let you browse the site for coupons that interest you. When you find one, you send it to your phone via text message. Obviously, if you hold your phone number dear to your heart, don't bother; if you're the brave type who doesn't mind risking the personal data exposure, you might want to give it a shot.

      Macy's Makes Fun Of Coupons With Its Latest Coupon

      Did you know the asterisk in the Macy*s logo is actually part of a clever branding campaign to associate the brand with fine print? It must be true, because no other department store has such a love of fine print on coupons—and such an apparent hatred of actual coupons. Their latest masterpiece in exclusions won't cover electronics, wigs, mattresses, shoes, watches, about a million clothing brands, and more. What does it cover? Probably a shoehorn from the Notions for Men department.

      Why Do Some Stores Act Stupid About Coupons?

      Some stores—like A&P Supermarkets and Bed Bath & Beyond, for example—seem to have a sort of antagonism against coupon users. (For that matter, some of our commenters do too, but they are wrong.) Steve Gosset notes on his "Reality Bites Back" blog that the shortsighted coupon policies at these two stores only ended up costing them more fees, or even a sale.

      Dell Charges Customer $300 More Than He Authorized

      Matt is having some trouble getting Dell to sort out its billing mistake with his new TV purchase. It's an interesting story because for the most part, Dell employees or outsourced CSRs are trying to be helpful to Matt, but nothing has actually been accomplished yet over email, chat, or the telephone. Matt wants his $300 back, and Dell wants Matt to just return the TV set if he won't pay the non-discounted price. We think he may have a case here for disputing the overcharged amount. More »

      Domino's Accidentally Gives Away 11,000 Pizzas in Bailout Promotion

      This morning, Rick Broida posted a great deal from ubiquitous pizza chain Domino's at his Cheapskate blog on CNET. Customers could get a free one-topping pizza (carryout only) by ordering online and using the coupon code "BAILOUT."
