Here’s a quick Thrifty Tip for you!
When you are running an instant savings promotion – have the cashier ring those items up first and subtotal the transaction. Be sure that the instant savings is deducted before proceeding with the rest of your order. This allows the issue to be quickly spotted and resolved.
If we wait until the entire order is rung up and totaled before trying to find a single line item and ensuring that a promo came off.
This works well especially with promos we know there are issues with (like the current Harris Teeter ConAgra promotion)

Thanks so much for the tip! There’s no telling how much time and hassle I could have saved over the years. Also these promos are so item specific and sometimes hard to decipher which exact products are included. It would give you a chance to go back and exchange for the right item if you picked up one that doesn’t fit the promo. I usually go through the self checkout and you can use this tip there as well. Just ring up your promo items, hit “finish and pay,” check for your instant savings, hit the “back” button and continue scanning the rest of your items.
