Showerthought: coupon apps are a waste of time, I just ask the manager on Tuesday mornings now
I used to clip digital coupons for an hour before every grocery run and save maybe $6, but now I just go in Tuesday around 9am and ask the produce guy what's about to get tossed, walked out with a $4 bag of peppers and squash last week. Has anyone else noticed the managers mark stuff down way more if you just talk to them instead of hunting through an app?

Ha, so you cracked the code while the rest of us are still over here tapping our phones like idiots for fifty cents off. Turns out the trick was just being a real human at the right time of day, who knew. Guess I know where I'm headed next Tuesday morning.

Went through the same thing last month at the grocery store near me. They run a senior discount on Wednesdays before 10am and I kept trying to stack it with the app coupon, which never worked because the app deal was online only. What finally did it was just walking up to the actual register and asking the cashier what days are slow, turns out they quietly mark stuff down Tuesday nights to clear stock. Now I skip the app entirely and show up right when they open. Saved way more than fifty cents that way, so your plan for Tuesday morning is solid.
