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? How much more item do you need. I think I might have about $10 in Olay stuff on a receipt? I didn't have enough to do the rebate. PM me

All of my $30 was on 1 receipt and I don't know where it is. So unless I find the receipt or they take a copy of the receipt I have $0. But thanks anyway

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. I had to call Safeway CS due to a problem with my mom's J4U account (apparently someone in the store had signed her up and put in a random email for her account and it was conflicting with when I sighed her up). As a result their system was doing wonky things to my mom's account. Anyway, the gal told me that if I "Added" the $1.79 for the Nature Valley, that I would not be able to use MCs on them - the register would reject them; but from what I'm reading that was not the case for you. It seems like the $1.79 works more like a J4U personalized deal than it does a coupon, is that right? For example, my coupon center offers me Fiber One cereal for $1 off, so I assume that I cannot use a Fiber One MC on top of it; but when I am offered a product at a given price, then I assume that I can use coupons in conjunction with that price. I haven't done the deal yet because I couldn't get into her account to add the $1.79 price on the Nature Valley. I may go tonight to do the deal, but I'm not going to bother if I can't use coupons on top of it. murphath: Can you confirm, cuz personally I think the CS person was wrong (she even put me on hold to ask her supervisor).

Hopetoberich: Happened to me too. I decided to try putting the coupons on my CVS card instead of using paper. I'm such a Newbie at this that I didn't realize that I gave her the power to decide how to use my coupons. Messed up my deals. I'll stick with old fashion paper coupons thank you very much.

dancinmama,
You can use MQs on top of the in ad Q , even if it's clipped online. You cannot use MQs on top of MQs if you have them online, but the inad qs can be used to just set the price. I also think that you can use the clipped eQ along with the paper inAd Q to circumvent the limit 4 boxes on the NV bars.
So you clip the Q on J4U, also have a InAd Q in hand. Buy 5 and you will get 3$ for the catalina and the 1.79 will apply to all 5 boxes. HTH

Yeah, not looking forward to what this brings at Rite Aid. Was there today and the manager told us that starting next month, Ups will be loaded to your card. Seems like a horrible idea to me and it can't possibly benefit the store. I'd guess probably 50% of the paper Ups are never redeemed. I know we don't have details yet, but if the Ups come off the card like the Load 2 Card coupons do, it comes off at the beginning of the transaction. So, it could become very difficult to even use manufacturer coupons, especially if you have a lot of Ups. Not looking forward to it at all...

When I was in earlier today, I did find Farmland bacon in the 50% off bin, so I got it for $1.74 and I also found (2) jars of mango/lime salsa in the clearance section for $1.09 each in addition to $10 worth of grapes @ $.79 lb. for $7 (after having gone to CS to get my $3 that is).

Would you be able to do a deal by giving the MQ's first and then giving them your store card last? How do they expect you to keep track of your expiration dates?

Regarding Rite Aid & Ups - You will still have the option to turn it off and get them printed. That is how the test area works. If you sign up to receive paper Ups , they will still print on your receipt .
For people who don't coupon and use RA, this is a great way to save. For us, we can still do it the old way. The only issue will be we will have just the 2 week limit and no longer have any monthly Ups with extended dates.

The manager I talked to yesterday said they just got a brief memo about it, but no details. I would be so, so, sad if I had to stop shopping there. I get more than half my freebies at Rite Aid.

This is going to be a VERY expensive week. I already spent MORE than my usual weekly budget on groceries, have more to get and I still need a haircut, gasoline (highest gas price in the country in Chicago) and I also plan on a mani/pedi for this week, which means dinner out or brought in. totals (11+40+15+6.6) is 71.6 w/o additional groceries on the new (Wed/Thur start) ads.
I am already seeing prices going up on groceries. All my bread outlets are up 10%. The chicken broth I buy is up 15.5% as of Tue.

I will check on these. If I remember correct, I should have 5 inserts so I can get all those to you. Any other coupons you want? I don't really use the food type coupons so if you have any others, let me know. Also, PM me your address so I can mail them.

It's horrible. My bread at the Oroweat outlet has been going up too. Sometimes I can get it for $1 and sometimes it's as high as $1.79. When they don't have it for $1, I buy the Open Nature at Safeway when it is on sale for $2.50 cuz I have a few $1/1 Open Nature Qs that don't expire until the end of the year. This economy sucks.

This is just sad. I have EBs on two cards expiring at the end of the month and I see very little for their use. My last hope is that they will offer some CRTs that will turn something into an awesome deal or they will offer a $5/$20 that I can pair up with a couple of EB rain check items that will yield free products, otherwise I'll just pick some non-EB rain check items that I need to replenish and sit it out for a while.
Even though I do have A LOT of CVS GCs, if I wind up EB-less it will take something REALLY GOOD to get me to spend OOP to get back in.

Has anyone heard from misspt or leanna? I don't think either of them has posted in weeks.
I'm glad that a few of us are hanging in there. I know that researching deals takes just as much time whether you find one or ten, and some people may feel that it isn't worth the time if all they can do is find one or two semi-decent deals a week, especially if they already have awesome stockpiles for the things that they need.
I just have met so many wonderful gals on this thread throughout the years and wonder how they're all doing.

Ugh. I hate when I type a whole message and then it disappears! It was about Old Navy jeans on sale for $19 until near the end of the month. I bought 5 pairs and a $5 filler and got $40 store cash for another time a few weeks from now. I think that part of the deal ended yesterday but the jeans are still on sale. I needed them badly and I think that's a good price, even without the store cash.

DANCing, Oh good, so I'm not missing anything. I am on a borrowed computer at work and don't want to use or view anything out of the ordinary so I haven't been checking on anything. BTW, yesterday I went to CVS to burn some ECBs and I got a $5/15 and I think a $3/10 CVS products CRTs. Try your scanner.

Did you get it from the scanner or at the bottom of your receipt? I have a $1 EB and could try buying something for $1 to see if I get it. That would be REALLY good!! And to think that we used to get those $/$$ all the time!! No wonder my stockpiles are full of products from CVS. ;D
