Although given my usual experiences at Walgreens, maybe I’m the one who is nuts for shopping here. Last time none of the UPCs or digital coupons scanned and shift mgr “explained” to me that some digital manufacturer coupons were only valid online (although she couldn’t point to any specific wording). Same store that couldn’t tell the difference between Cash Rewards and Register Receipts. But when you’re stuck with a store due to inventory issues.
Although Blue Diamond 16 oz almonds are on sale for $5.99 with a $1 digital coupon, the Nice brand for $4.99 lets you use one of the promo codes (WAG10 & FAST10) which makes it that much cheaper, so if you’re not tied to the name brand …
Also tossed in two Cheez-Its on a BOGO this week because FirstBorn and Squirmy are fans. Yes, although FirstBorn buys his own junk food groceries and always grabs a few boxes, sometimes I like to surprise him. Jewel often is out of the large box of original crackers (once he was stuck buying reduced fat; Squirmy took a nibble and dropped the cracker on the floor). Of course, the response will likely be “why would you buy more Cheez-Its? I already have a box.” rather than thanks. Squirmy, of course, sees nothing wrong with stockpiling 🙂
