ISO8T0 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 We have a Chinese restaurant attached to our TRU, so I could always try to checkout over there.But only if it has a buffet. Quote
exciter1 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) But only if it has a buffet.It's a buffet and I affectionately call it the TRU Buffet. Senior Day is Monday, 10% off and it stacks with eggrolls. Edited September 11, 2015 by exciter1 1 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 It's a buffet and I affectionately call it the TRU Buffet. Senior Day is Monday, 10% off and it stacks with eggrolls.Can you use TRU magic to pay for the buffet on Thursdays ? Quote
mudcatsfan Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 using my tax exempt certificate is time consuming at tru and I usually have a lot of items to buy. Also I am not one to "hog" the cashier and have other customers wait in line behind me, many with kids and infants especially when they only have 2 registers open . Few dollars saved here and there isn't worth aggravating the employee or the customers . In the rare occasion I do multiple transactions , I usually go to the back of the line or walk around the store till the lines are gone . You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I try to do the same when i have crazy coupon madness and REAL customers are behind me. Quote
Grynn Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I guess you could always checkout in the video game section. You mean this place? Quote
Grynn Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I try to do the same when i have crazy coupon madness and REAL customers are behind me. REAL customers pay 110% MSRP? /confused Props on the politeness tho, I usually offer the same. Funny how many people don't believe me when I say it may take some time... they'll learn. Quote
ISO8T0 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 TRUTH Dat!Last time the employee was stumbling with my transactions I stepped out of line (physically) and waited till the "regular" customers were done. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Class is in session . Pay attention now :(deleted images since they were hhhhhhuuuuuuuuuugggggggggeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!) If I tried that at my local TRU I'm pretty sure I'd get tazed. I'm serious, if I just ask for a price match I get the death glare from hell. I avoid at all costs. Quote

jerryherb Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Why go to three different stores?because technically youre supposed to surrender the coupon. it also helps keep a low profile and your wallet from screaming. Quote
longshot Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 because technically youre supposed to surrender the coupon. it also helps keep a low profile and your wallet from screaming.Thats why I print out multiple copies............;) Quote
Jondog21 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I'm in NYC for the weekend. Does anyone know if the Times Square TRU will take the coupons off your phone, in case I see something I get the urge to buy? Thanks for any info. I'm a shy coupon user, so don't like to even try if I'm likely to get turned down Quote

gregpj Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I thought that TRU had an extra 20% mark up for the touristas. Just be sure to check the price before you buy. It varies ... The ecto 1 is marked up to 54.99 (10%) but yeah the big exclusives sitting at the registers get big markups. I've seen a set here or there that was cheaper than Lego though - last one I remember was Craggers Command Ship which was about $10 less for some odd reason. Not on sale or marked down, just listed as regular price. Quote

dcdfan Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Shouldn't maybe "July & August" be removed from the title of this forum thread...? Quote

dustyshelf Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Hi guys, I'm usually not a TRU shopper but these coupons seem like a good deal. Simple question, are the coupon images posted in this thread scannable at the store? Can I just save the image and present it to the cashier for scanning? Thanks for your help. Quote

hitso Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Just got a $5 off $25 coupon in my TRU cc renewal. Calling on BA, please do your magic.hehe thanks! 1 Quote
Huskers1236 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I take it you've never taken part in any of the surveys mentioned at the top of your receipt?No, never. What am I supposed to say? "They don't let me stack coupons"? They'd probably get a bonus from corporate. They scan right from your phone. I usually enlarge the UPC for them to scan more easily... I've tried this as well, got shot down really quick on that one. 1 Quote
brickolodon Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 So, now 2 coupons avail, plz update ..cannt put it all together... Quote
