Well ladies, I'm heading to bed. Been a rough day here. I had to have my 16 yr old kitty put down . Talk with y'all tomorrow. Anyone been to Walmart? Wondering if Christmas is 75% off yet...not that I need anything. I'm working on getting rid of crap and being way more choosy about the deals I do and stuff I add to the stockpile. Constanz22 So sorry about your kitty! (((HUGS))) I know how hard it is. I had to put my Chow, Ginger, down on 11/09/11. She was almost 13. Question about the L'Oreal hair color deal---you get $10 back if you spend $25, but my Excellence-to-Go is 2/$12. Will I get the ECB at $24? If so, I could use some Qs for it! HOUND ALERT I'm looking for 3 coupons for the L'Oreal hair color from RP (1/1/12), 6 Tide coupons (for the Kroger deal--makes them $2.99 after the Q when you buy 4), and some of the $2 Q for Tampax Pearl to use at CVS. Thanks! I'd like to be able to use these Friday if at all possible.

Thank you ladies for all your kind words!
Anyone know if the clearance Head and Shoulders at cvs is still giving 2 EB, or was it a weekly deal? I never heard why it was giving the EB. Thought I might look for more with the $2/2 MC from this weeks P&G.

Constanz..... sorry about your kitty . I bought the head and shoulders on Sunday and it was still giving the EB'S. HOUND ALERT..... I know this is a LONG shot LOL, but, if you don't ask you know the answer is already "no" I could use a few extra of the 2/1 Tide Q's from the P&G if anybody has any to spare. TIA

Ladies,
I am out of town and won't see my paper from last Sunday until this coming weekend. Most of the Q's you are asking for I don't use, so if you think you will still need them next week, let me know

Hi all,
Wow, 3 days in and we're already at 8 pages. Since the posting about Visa cards at RA, has anyone attempted this? I was going to stop by RA on my way home, I was going to print out the ad listing all the included products; I figured if there isn't a sign, they should allow it? If it doesn't work, can I "return" it?

I haven't tried this, but did read on a blog (MFA, maybe?) that people were finding signs up in the store saying the gift cards are no longer part of the promotion. Stores do not ever allow returns on a gift card, so, you might want to consider that before you purchase. I guess if there are no signs up, you may be able to plead your case to Customer Service. They may or may not mail you the Ups. Not sure I'd risk it personally though...

What is the rationale behind the regional differences in coupon inserts? It's really beginning to bug me that our area never gets those high value q's! Just had to get that out....we never get Pepsi q's and that's the only carbonated soft drink we buy. It's my one glass/can a day habit! And, of course, no Nivea q's either!

... I did this deal, too, I just ended up buying 8 Pantenes and 4 Dawn Hand Renewals: 3.33 x 8 Pantenes 26.64 .99 x 4 Dawn HR 3.96 Total 30.60 Minus 5.00/$25 Minus 12.00 ($3/2 x 4) Minus 2.00 ( .50 x 4) Minus 4.00 EB (from H&S) Minus 1.00 EB from quarterly spending OOP 6.60 + tax and got back the $10 GC Excellent. I can do that deal. I have the $12 + $2 in Qs, $15 GC. So after tax it will be $4.45 and get back the $10 GC. Where did you get a $5/25? Debating this thought - I currently have $0 in EBs for both cards (mine and DBF). I was thinking about scrapping them and getting two new cards to be able to get the $4/20 for new emails. Anyone see a downside? Even with new cards, would I need to use new email addresses?

Is Pantene really that good? I like it. I used to use Pantene before hounding and was happy when I was able to stockpile it last year. I also stockpiled Garnier (use it now but don't love) and a few other brands I mostly gave away. Used to love Nexxus but so expensive, haven't used it in years.

My savings last year finally totalled $4389.55 that I put into that savings account. And truthfully I probably got more stuff last year than ever before not less. What else did that include because it clearly isn't just groceries. I just cut tv/internet/landline. My son nearly died. It will take a few months to see complete savings bc of a termination fee and a gadget I am buying him so his games can be used wirelessly. But by March it will be a $130/month savings.

I'm thinking it's the $5/2 haircolor q's you want? Just PM me with your address & exact details and I'll send them out. I'm in Oregon, so if you're on the East coast it could be iffy about getting them on Friday. Definitely Saturday I would think. West coast or midwest no problem.

I have (4) $1/1 box, exp 3/4/2012, if you want them. ;D That was me, (literally - I only drink that & water) but I am totally stocked up. Thank you though! I think there is someone else who also drinks the tea and there have been some sales on the flavor kinds of CS tea, so I have a feeling someone else will want them.

WTH?! Walmart and CVS are both still only 50% off Christmas!
I did find 3 more clearanced Head and Shoulders and did get the EB's! I only got $4, but I think I might've been at the limit on that card. I bought 4 more Pantene Beautiful Lengths, 1.57 each, minus 2 $3/2 MC's!
ETA: Just saw the conversation about Pantene. I really don't like it...but, everyone has preferences based on their hair type. I bought it, cuz it was .07 a bottle. I'd use it once in awhile if I was desperate. It will likely go in my yard sale box for the summer. I'll get $1 each for them, so, a nice MM.

Just had to get that out....we never get Pepsi q's and that's the only carbonated soft drink we buy. It's my one glass/can a day habit! And, of course, no Nivea q's either! My best guess would be that the manufacturers are trying to increase sales in areas where they have less sales. So, probably where you live there is a high amount of Pepsi drinkers, hence they don't need to offer an incentive. Where I live we get Pepsi coupons, but we also get some of the lower value P&G q's. Just how it goes. But, the good thing is that we have this group, so we get to outfox them. ;D
