Shoppers, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized

I went to Shoppers on 5/31/09 and got some great deals! A couple things to mention beware you CAN'T use IP coupons over a $1.00 including $1.50 because Shoppers won't accept them. It is against their policy to accept a coupon above $1.00. The cashier wouldn't accept them and the manager agreed. This was in Mananas, VA. I bought 4 PopTarts for $2.50 each and 4 Frosted Shredded Wheat for $2.50 each. I also bought a Kelloggs Raisin Bran for $2.50 Total $22.50. I used 2 -2/$1.00 PopTarts expired today 5/31. $5/20 (Kelloggs coupon from the Shoppers ad) Used the $1.00 coupon from the Washington Post bag (back in March?). Total: $11.50 $1.28 a box not too bad I also bought a couple other things too. Great shopping trip saved…

Giant Shopping Trip 5/29/09

Coupons, Giant, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized

Ok did it! I completed a pretty good shopping trip at Giant. OOP $56.57. Not to bad. However, it got lower... I did have a problem using the X/XX Bloom coupon because you have to have a cashier enter it in or the customer service and this is usually something you want to use first. I got back $10.25 for that coupon + tax! Yeah, I was surprised that I got tax back too. Then the Cat machine didn't print out my $2 for the Deer Park water deal. I got $2.00 back for that. Last, I didn't get back my $.05 for each bag. The manager was wonderful in refunding me all of these things and he said there was a way to do this at self checkout. I…

Staples Shopping Trip – 5/6/2009

Freebies, Shopping Trips, Staples, Uncategorized

Here is an update to this shopping trip...I received the following rebates back. Thanks to several posts -TheThriftymama.com, Redemption Unlimited, CouponCravings.com I went to Staples this evening with my husband and daughter. I saw that a package of HP paper would be $1 after the rebate! Since I've been using a lot of paper for coupons I liked Redemption Unlimited's idea of buying the paper. Then I saw CouponCravings's post about the Casio Label maker. My husband I love to create labels on just about everything. Yes, my husband put a label on our label maker. hahaha...in any case, I showed my husband my list and instead he started looking at the laptop deal on the front page. His laptop isn't doing so well and since we have had our…

Shoppers Shopping Trip 4/25/09

Coupons, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized

I went to Shoppers this evening and got some great deals. Here are some tips: Don't use the self-checkout Because it won't accept coupons that equal overage. The computer won't accept coupons after a couple and the cashier has to enter them. The cashier might not double or triple them accurately, because he/she has to do it manually. Go to a regular checkout line. Do a small transaction. It is a lot easier to keep track of coupons in smaller transactions. And, you don't have to take as long in line. This works great when you bring kids along. I bought the following and saved a lot! As soon as I find the card reader I will post a picture. I had to go to customer service to fix the…

Coupons, Rite Aid, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized

Thanks to IheartRiteAid.com for all of the great info! I ran into Rite Aid this evening and did 2 transactions. The cashiers weren't too happy when I used 2 $5/25 but they did allow it. I know it isn't the best thing to do but I wanted to get in and get out and most of the deals were already taken. I was hoping to get the Tear drops for free but they were out, so I thought I would get the coke deal and they were out of that too. So, this is what I came up with. I wanted to buy the Shampoo and Claritin so I split them up in two transactions. Transaction #1 john frieda shampoo $5 john frieda shampoo $5 john frieda shampoo $5 john…
