You should ask, @dex! Smiley Happy You can even buy theme park tickets at the HEB stores. I don't think the Safeways I went to in California had that many options.

 

Here's a link to a list of things you can do at the HEB service center: https://www.heb.com/static-page/business-center-services

Giant is in the Southeast and Stop and Shop is the same company in New York and New England.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

She gave him the $1900 or he gave it to her?

 

If she gave it to him it was probably Western Union or some other $ transfer service.

Something was in the manila sealed envelope.  I thought it was some type of coupon redemption.  He rang up 1900 dollars on his register to give to her.  I was flabbergasted.  Now I see after reading these responses it could be something other than extreme couponing.

That sounds exactly like what it was to me! I've had to do that before. If you have a tax exempt number it is a real mess! It's such a procedure that I've been known to pay the tax out on my own pocket as a "donation"! Also, if it's a purchase order for things for a church or community program (like food for a food booth at a fair) the items are pre-ordered, a check is cut for the exact amount of the order, minus tax(!) ) and is usually processed at CS!

Never underestimate the power of kindness.

Re: Hopefully this is the correct Forum. I have a question about couponing

Yes, @SharkE especially at a busy counter in a big store supermarket. I pay attention now who what or who is around me.  Especially someone carrying almost two grand in a crowded place.  Don't want to be around that person walking out of the store.  In today's day in age, I feel it is always wise to be aware.  Besides, I want to get in on the couponing if that is what it was.  Doesn't appear to be though. Robot LOL

@ChynnaBlue

I get my vehicle registration ("tags") at my local grocery store.

Have you done that?

Easy, Peasy.
