They’ve changed the game plan on us, peeps. No longer are they taking the $3 store coupon before the mfr coupons. Am I upset? Of course. Store mgr is going to let the higher ups know that the wording does not indicate that a mfr coupon is a “discount.” And know something else? The people in marketing have run this race before – it’s not a surprise to them.
So, while I couldn’t get the absolute cheapest price on my Sinex, I did quite well. In fact I completed 12 transactions, spent $52.20 (including tax) and got back $120 in RRs, or a $67.80 profit. boo hoo ’cause i didn’t get more? not this camper.
Thrown into the mix are the six packages of Homestyle mac for .1666/each (sale 3/$5, $1 1/16 s coupon; $1/2 ivc) and four of the Blue Diamond almonds (I didn’t use almond coupons, ’cause I had too much overage already – so sue me).
So since I still have 19 of the $3 coupons, my game plan just changes: 1 Joint Juice and 2 cans of Blue Diamond almonds. $14 less .75/2 blue diamond (10/10 or 12/05 s) less $3 Wags equals $10.25 plus tax. Pay with Sinex and get back $10 in Joint Juice RR. lather, rinse, repeat.
If they run out of the Joint Juice or you want to substitute, go for the Appetite Control Spray, which will hopefully stop you from eating all those almonds…
the nerve of these people giving you a hard time!!
so I’m guessing the likelihood of you sharing these wonderful, magical $3 coupons is slim and none??
you stay out of the wags west of the one you’ve been goin’ to and we’ll all be happy!!
Trade you some $3 coupons for some Maalox coupons…even trade?
usps not delivered ’em yet??
Hey, I’ll take the mac n’ cheese if you’re not going to eat it! Wish my wags would let me run that many transactions…they limit it to 3 and the wags are NOT very close to one another up here…mostly a waste of gas $$ to go wag hopping.
Well, obviously it’s time to move! If you drove down to the Wheaton/Naperville/Lisle/DG area, you’d hit a Wags every time you spit. I only got 6 of the mac and will go back and get a rain check later on in the week so I can get more when I “acquire” more coupons…
yeah, would love to move but can’t sell this piece of shit house i live in up here in boondock county….maybe in another 5 or 6 yrs. I’ll actually sell it for the cost of the mortgage and break even! Grew up in your ‘hood and miss it terribly…moved up north for DH who is a country boy!
