I went and did the coupon thing with Jess and husband and thank you tonight. They were thrilled about the AZ ice tea at 2/$1 so we each bought 4 of those. But the cashier told me that I would get the register rewards on pringles and dove for each set of items. I had 2 sets of 4 pringles (should have gotten 2 $2 RR coupons) and enough dove to get 2 of the Dove $5 coupons. I was very unhappy that they didn't have the 6 bar packs of men plus care - I had 3 $4 off coupons for those and those would have been awesome. WOuld have basically been free even if we donated them. WOuld have been $18 for 4 packs, with $6 ir rewards and then the $12 in coupon discounts. So free for 24 bars of fancy soap. I actually like the men's scents and don't react to them the way I do to the womens. But they had none of them and wouldn't substitute the 3 of the 2 bar packs or give a raincheck. The cashier said they only had 4 of the 6 bar packs in the store the entire week and employees grabbed them late Sat night when the ad came out. Grr...
SO now I get to go return 4 cans of pringles and 4 things of dove so that I can get the $7 in rewards. That will pay for the microSD card I want for my phone!!
But I figure there is a learning curve to this type of thing.
Wish some of you were near and could use the $2 off men+care deodorant coupons because that is $2.50 after the RR and they had a bunch but it is too stinky for my crew. IF they still have it I might get it for our homeless shelter or to send to the troops. There was shampoo Jess wanted that could make up for the other items for the RR.
Anyway, I am thrilled to show Jess how it worked - she was really excited. husband wasn't thrilled to spend $80 at walgreens until he figured out that we got easily twice that amt of stuff given the register rewards and the other coupons I used. He loves the mentos gum I got (never tried it - 2 for $5 with walgreens coupon, less two $1 coupons that I had) in the big 50 piece container. Plus I want the container to re-use. The face cream I make will go great in those to send to my aunt, who needs more.
Anyway, Jess now LOVES coupons. The other stores in our town don't do great deals. Wish we had target and cvs but we don't. Those are 160 miles round trip and I won't drive that for most sales. She was also bummed that I wouldn't get the pepsi 12 packs that were 5/$13, but husband and I both hate pepsi and I don't want all the cans around for the kids. They can make lemonade for less than half of that.
What are your best deals this week?
