Food Lion Report Card - Grade "F"

8 weeks ago I decided to experiment by shopping at Food Lion.  Food Lion is hands down the closest store to my house.  However, I have never been successful at saving money there. After 8 weeks I am disappointed that nothing has changed and actually things are worse.

Negatives
* Coupons can not be stacked.  It is either a store coupon or a manufactuer coupon but not both
* Coupons do not double
* Prices are not competitive
* I am constantly harassed about my coupons at the Hateful Food Lion store.
* Management at the closest Food Lion is downright mean and nasty.  I had a return today - my very first return ever at A Food Lion Store - and the manager decided to take the highest coupon on my receipt and subtract it from the purchase price.  I told her that was not the coupon for that item.  She told me she did not know which coupon I used; therefore, she was going to subtract the highest one and refund that price.  I grabbed my receipt & product,  called her a 5 letter word, and stormed out of the store.  **Side note - I had no issues with returning the item at Trashy Food Lion.**

Positives
* Hateful Food Lion is in the same shopping center as the Post Office.  If you look down in the ground you find a plethera of gas receipts.  Next time Food Lion has a gas deal or some other deal...I think I am going to save my time, energy, and money....and just shop for trash on the ground.
* In the end we got (9) $15.00 Shell Gas Cards.  We have $135.00 in gas gift cards for when we drive to Orlando for our next Disney Vacation
