Today at 9:03am, murphath wrote: Well, I went and stocked up on cereal and granola bars yesterday at Safeway. They are having a great sale on both. So, for $21 I got: 4 boxes Fiber One Bars 4 boxes NV Granola bars 3 boxes Wheat Chex 2 boxes Cheerios 1 box Cinnamon Toast Crunch 4 boxes fruit snacks 1 large bag Flammin' Hot Cheetos (DD2 loves these and DH & I won't touch them) 36 pack light string cheese
The string cheese by itself was $7.99 on sale so I think I did well on the other stuff. All things we will eat--well, except for the Cheetos which will be DD2's guilty pleasure.
Box the Fiber One and Nature Valley bars generated $2 cats so I have $4 to spend. I'll use in conjunction with my $3/$10 produce to get bananas (.45 lb. J4U price), grapes .79 lb on sale, 4 lb. bag of oranges $1.99 J4U price, and probably some nectarines or blueberries. |
murphath: How many boxes did you have to buy to get the CAT? Were both the NV and the Fiber One $1.99/box? |
You have to buy 4 to get a cat. I had 4 each so got the 2 cats. The Fiber One are $1.99 box. The Nature Valley were $1.79 with a J4U price. It wasn't a personalized deal, it was under the regular coupons. I had several .60 off q's for both Fiber One and Nature Valley. Got them from the Betty Crocker email.

Coupons dot com has gotten cute. It would NOT let me just go back and print a 2nd coupon this morning. I had to reload the entire link to print another.
My lists for WAG & CVS are such a mess from cross-outs due to repeat sales at the opposite next week and MIA coupons that I need to rewrite them for this week. I have multiple RR transactions for WAG this week, all w/coupons of course, BUT I found a reasonably priced filler (olives) which I ALWAYS use and keep forever.
Dancin Sounds like you might have to start saving NOW for a contribution to a wedding.

I guess those limits of one are another blow against stockpilers. And where have all the bricks coupons gone? I haven't printed a bricks in ages. I remember there were a few occasions where the limits on a few bricks Qs were 5. I guess those days are over.

MM GLADE @ WAGs 8/19$2.99 (1) Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter Kit -3.00 $1/1 IP ( www.coupons.com ) Print Limit = 2 $....0 OOP --> $1 RR This is the kind of deal that we used to see at WAGs all the time, but which have been, for the most, MIA this year. HAPPY HOUNDING!! Meijer near where I live has Glad Expressions Mist Starter kits on price roll back this week for $2.99 each. Stock was good. I did it 4X. They also had an in flier coupon for $1.00 off two Lipton Recipe Secrets (which gives a cat for $1.00 from Lipton) Price $1.39 each. So, I spent $1.78 plus tax for all of the above, got $5.00 Meijer cats. Used the Cats to get a gallon of milk, lettuce, green pepper, hamburger AND hot dog buns for $1.10 plus tax. Gosh, I really hate tax. But, I think like Murpath, I am running low on Lysol.

All you coffee addicts out there (like me!), Target has the Gevalia coffee on sale for $6.49. Coupons. com had a BOGOF q for Gevalia (hope it's still there). That makes it $3.25 for some pretty good coffee. Not free, but not a bad price. If you bring your own bag and use the Target debit or credit card, you'll get it for @ $6.19 for two.

ATTENTION: RITE AID SHOPPERSTHE NIPS ARE NOT FREE AFTER +UPs AT RITE AIDYou have to buy (2) @ $1/ea. to get the $1 UP. I told the AM that you could not tell that by the wording in the ad, and that I wanted to do a return. He offered to give me my UPs back and I mentioned that I didn't think they'd scan if they had already been used. He said that he'd initial it. Uhm, no. I asked for a GC instead, which he did do. So my saga with Rite Aid continues. I don't think I'll be doing the GC deal next week because 1) they didn't have the loadable Home Improvement GCs on the shelf. I'm pretty sure that they are on to us and won't be getting any more in....at my store anyway.... and 2) cuz shopping there is a huge PITA. I am not sorry that I did the GC deals when you got a $10 UP for buying $20 and again when you got a $5 UP for buying $20 because we will use the GCs anyway, so it was like getting "free" money; but other than the week that I bought the Bounty paper towels way back when, it has not been "fun".

I worked out a small MM at CVS today, mostly based on CRTs:
revlon lipstain+balm 6.99 revlon mascara 7.79 = 14.78 -$5/15 cosmetics from last week -$3 off revlon CRT -2 x $1/1 revlon color cosmetic MC =4.78, got back $6 EBs (plus $1 for green bag tag)
It also puts me up to about $45 toward my next beauty club EB. I was glad to find this deal because I could actually use some more mascara. Everything I have is old and getting crackly. I also bought scott TP at 6.77 with .75/1 MC and used $10 EBs from last week. I was ok with the loss of $3 EBs because I desperately needed TP, and the 3.87 I ultimately paid for it definitely meets the TP Principle.
I haven't decided if I'm going to finish out the wisk/scott/colgate deal or not. I could use more TP for sure, and I got the $2 wisk coupons this time, but it's not that great of a deal overall. I'll try to scan my card again tomorrow and see if I come up with some kind of useful CRT to help me out.
I also got my $10 olay rebate GC in the mail yesterday. I know there was some discussion about whether or not the rebate would be honored in conjunction with coupon use, but it worked for me. I did not use the BOGO coupons because I sent off the rebate before those came out, but I definitely used coupons on my transaction and still got the rebate. Really quickly too, only about 3 weeks.

I've been buying up tons of reach toothbrushes at giant eagle. This week they are priced at $1, and there are $1 insert coupons for both the adult and children varieties, plus IPs for the same. For every 2, 3, or 4 that I buy, I also get $2, $3, or $4 OYNO coupons, so it's a nice MM.

I checked my inserts to see if I had the Q cuz I have an excellent stockpile of Reach toothbrushes from back in the day when they were free after Q and giving a $1 RR at WAGs, but I did not get the $1/1 Reach on 7/29. I would have been all about a HOUND ALERT for a deal like that. I hope you had a lot of Qs.

I think it was using the BOGO in conjunction with the $3/2 for the cleansers that was in question. I haven't heard anything except the initial warning that those of us that used them together might not get the rebate. I'm still hoping that I'll get it, but I paid virtually nothing in OOP to do the deal and wanted the products anyway, so getting the rebate will just be an added bonus.

I paid 0.96 cents OOP so I am not exactly in the hole on them. ;D I think I used the 3/2 with the BOGo coupon but even looking at the receipt I sent in it is almost impossible to tell since most ECB's just say coupon on them and none that I used say MFR coupon either.

I think I have enough coupons to do it twice more as well. I'm glad they included the kids toothbrushes as well, because that means I can use 2 different coupons from each insert I have.

Dancin:.50/3 I love Greek yogurt but even when on sale for 1.00 each, the q would make them @ .83. Too much. I can usually get them at Grocery Outlet for .33 or .39 each. If they are about to expire, they'll be even less. Yogurt can be eaten waaaaaaay past the expiration date. It's a live culture after all! Same amount in both CC Times and SF Chronicle.

Thanks and I agree. I love the Grocery Outlet too and get mostly dairy there. I also go to the 99 cent store where I have gotten cartons of cottage cheese and sour cream for $.99.

I had about the nicest mail almost ever as far as GC type things today! I got all three checks from the Pyamid ale rebate checks less than a month since I sent them in. ;D I am doing a little happy dance right now! I just got two $10 rebate checks from Pyramid, also in less than a month. I didn't think that I had 2 rebates worth but I think they might be a bit more liberal than I thought. Going to send in for the third $10 rebate(hope it works, not sure if you had to send all three in at the same time?). I had bought a can of Goya black beans, opened the can and they were red beans. Wrote an e-mail to Goya with all the can info. Got back a check for $6! The beans were free as I had a $0.50 Q that doubled at Tops. Not bad for a minutes worth of my time.

My reading of the rebate is that you can do three in the summer buying what they call "summer ingredients" and three in the fall, per person/adress. The fall ingredients haven't been listed yet is my understundanding. I also didn't send in any UPC's like some people are mentioning. I read the rebate as you need the UPC's from the Pyramid Ale to go with it's receipt not the food ingredients. It was nice to get those three checks back so quick!

Here's what a BA from WAGs posted on WUC about the upcoming loyalty card program there:
I had to do a balance reward card PPL today. It basically gave us a brief overview of the program which is slated to start later this week for employees.
Sorry to say I was NOT impressed.
So you will earn bonus balance reward points by purchasing certain products. You will then redeem points after you have accrued a certain amount. You can not redeem any points until you have accrued 5000 balance points. 5000 balance points = 5.00 discount. You can not redeem balance points on any transaction that gives you balance points.
The only thing I am yet unaware of is how many "bonus" balance points you will receive for any item. But the general thinking after doing the trials on the PPL among the employees seems to be around 250 to 500. But that is still yet a mystery and I guess will be solved soon when they roll this out.
In order to use any walgreens coupon or receive the sale price on any item you will be required to have a balance reward card. (We are all wondering if that means that limits will now be strictly enforced through the card.)
You do not have to have a balance reward card to use a mani coupon.
Needless to say all of the employees today seemed very unimpressed and underwhelmed.
I am trying very hard to hold back judgement until this launches but thus far, it isn't looking to good.

Grrr! I cannot find my receipt to send in for the Olay rebate! I made a copy of the receipt and I am wondering if I forgot it on the copier. Do I have any options? Will they accept the copy of the receipt?

I got 6 Wisk at CVS this morning and at the bottom of the receipt was a $5/$15! I haven't seen one of those for a long time. I was on a card that i sighed up for in the summer so its new. On the same receipt was a $3/$10 on CVS products. The cashier ripped it off instantly and applied it to my order...which really screwed me up as i had a $4/1 razor coupon i wanted to use. Anyway, she voided it all and re did it. I couldn't believe that she didn't even ask about using it though I can use the $5/$15 but its only good for 3 days. Now i have to come up with another plan.
