I learned an important lesson this week...Do NOT go through the "fastlane"/self check-outs at Meijer IF you have LOTS of coupons!!! Because the computer will holler at you along with the cashier for using too many coupons! I am not sure if it was more due to the cashier's attitude or if it really was the computer that had the problem with the 18 coupons that I had to use on my one order! Also, while the cashier is sitting there taking your coupons off your order in those self check-outs make sure that you are looking over her shoulder rather than bagging your groceries!! I am pretty sure after going over my receipt that she actually missed a coupon! At any rate, I am beginning to think that I need to shop at another Meijer store!
