Haven’t forgotten about the Motrin PM and Lumene deals; there have been lots of behind-the-scenes phone calls and meetings, trust me.  This is where we stand at present:

The Lumene that was supposedly shipped out over a week ago never was.  Lumene sales rep said that not all the product for the order was available, so it wasn’t shipped out until it was complete.  Complete order was shipped yesterday on UPS, so probably Friday am delivery.  And yes, a truly competent and aggressive sale rep would have been on this like lint on a cheap suit.

Motrin PM did not generate the $3 RR (as reported earlier), so Wheaton called Catalina Marketing first thing Monday morning; they were going to set it up to run first thing this morning.  You can see where this is going, right?  Wheaton calls Catalina Marketing this am and asks why no RRs?  Catalina has no record of the promotion and wants all the paperwork faxed over, which Wheaton does.   As far as I know, this should be up and running by Wednesday morning.

This is what happens when they allow Steve to take time off.

Heads up on the Kellogg’s buy 4 for $10 get $5 in Register Rewards promotion going on right now.   The Cars2 boxes are still available at many Walgreens stores.  Buy 4 and enter the codes to score a $5 gift card towards concession chow.  Unfortunately, there are no coupons out there to make this a MM, but if you yearn for “buttery flavored” popcorn while watching your movies, at least you can do it on the cheap.

Lisle Wags got a ton of Cottonnelle in, but most of it has already been sold (you would not believe what this costs after employee discounts…), but they have probably another 40 packs available.  If you are shopping Lisle, make sure to hit them BEFORE 3, which is when Jackie leaves and the other one starts.

OK, there is something wonky going on with the Motrin PM deal – the RR isn’t printing.  Wheaton is well-aware of this SNAFU and will be contacting Catalina Marketing early Monday morning to straighten it out.  Wheaton wishes to advise everyone that they will be extending the days they accept the coupon (well, they were already going to, right?), so don’t try it ’cause it won’t work.  And don’t look for the RR info in your ad…  I will post immediately when they’ve straightened this out.

This sucks ’cause I wanted to roll the Motrin PM RR into the Cottonelle purchase (throwing in those little .17 clearance eyeliners by cosmetics).  Now, boo.  Is it my imagination or have we been getting dumped on more often than previously?  At least we’ll be able to spend our RRs at Jewel on groceries ’cause they haven’t had any deals for free food lately!

Don’t forget about this one-day only deal.  Start clipping your coupons now.  Wheaton was only able to get about 60 of these packs in – warehouse shorted them. 

Walgreens will have a ONE DAY ONLY deal on the 12-pack of Cottonelle.

Remember that national catalina promotion where only the incredibly old UPCs were generating the cats?  They’ve fixed that problem and entered the new packages.  On July 31st the new August IVC booklet starts;  there is a $1/1 coupon which stacks with the .75/1 from 7/17 s.  Buy 2 and you will get a $3.50 Register Reward and buy 3 to get $4.50 back.

Best bet? Buy 2, pay $6.50 OOP and get back $3.50 – so $1.50 for each pack of 12!

Wheaton asked me to post that they just received (today)a couple of hundred of the FREE with coupon glue sticks and scotch tape.  They have taped the coupons to the products, so no need to waste paper and ink!  Awesome store and awesome staff, right?

Just checked with the local Wags and they are offering two flavors of Trident Vitality gum for .79:  green (mint & white tea) and orange (citrus & strawberry).  Use the $2/3 coupon in the 7/24 S and you will only pay .37 for all three.  Run them all in one transaction – easy peasy!
