Warning to Internet coupon users!

I found out today at Walmart that two of the coupons I have been using for a while are actually fakes! I was told that Walmart can't accept them without a website because even though they scan, they can't be redeemed by the store for reimbursement. So if you have been using the Vlasic pickle $1 off coupon that is good until 12/31/08 or the $3/2 Post Its coupon (both are in PDF form), you may be using fraudulent coupons without even knowing it!That's too bad too because I was able to get a lot of free pickle relish for our food bank!

Oh, that's frustrating because the Post Its coupon is great! I just used it four times yesterday for $2.08 in overage and was planning to use it again soon. Is there some way to find out for sure whether it's a fake or not?

I have a resource to check if your coupons are legitimate in this blog post - http://thefemmesfrugal.blogspot.com/2008/07/frugal-shopping-farmers-market-and.html

Good to know! I don't want to use my qs wrong, so I'm throwing those out!
