No More Copps Card
Copps has done away with their key savings card to get the discounts on certain grocery items. You can now trade your card in and get savings on gas? Gas? Really? The way it’s been explained to me, you no longer need a Copps card to save money on your groceries, and you can trade your old card in for a new card to save money on gas. Save 10 cents for every $50 spent on groceries. Wait….10 CENTS??? Is this some kind of a joke? That’s not even worth carrying the card around, just to save a few pennies. Either way, I told them I’d pass, and I’d hold onto my old card.
Today, I go to Copps for lunch to hit up their salad bar. I do the self-checkout, and the machine says, “Don’t forget to swipe your Copps card.” So I pull out my ol’ trusty Copps card and swipe it….”System error, please wait for assistance”. Three out of the four machines had this same error and everyone was waiting. The snotty grocery clerk girl was highly annoyed we were making her day a living hell. I believe one of the managers came up and apologized for the mess, and explained the situation….super nice guy.
Anyway, no more Copps card for me, and I can’t wait to get one of these.
Trust me, I’m not a fan of the super saver cards, but I believe you save .10 a GALLON on gas. Not bad! I went to True Value today and had to get a card there too, just to take advantage of a sale item. Don’t retailers realize how annoying those cards are? I’m also looking forward to Hy-Vee, more convenient than Copps and hopefully better!
