You are looking at 10 bottles of SBR sauce, one quart of 18% cream, 2 packages of watermelon, 1 OM hot dogs, 2 packages of clearance pork chops, 2 half-gallon SB milk, 1 2L Dr. Pepper, 24 pack Jewel water (not shown) and Rosen buns. While I’m sure you can guess the coupons and deals for most of it, I’ll clue you in on the others: pork chops had the $2 clearance stickers on them, which I stacked with two $1 any pork product mfr coupons; watermelon was supposed to scan at .59/lb, but instead rang at .99 and $1.49, which equals free watermelon; water was free with cat, same for the onion rings. I used a $2 OYNO I found and $4.50 in RRs, which left me handing over $1.20 in US currency.
Wags ended up costing me $1.05, but that’s OK because I got an $8 RR for the Complete. Calcium was free with the IP coupon (Note: even though we all printed out two of them, only one can be used because there is a unique code which i cannot for the life of me figure out). The Bayer is giving out some serious overage, which I was happy to apply toward the contact solution.
Seriously, I need to quit working and coupon full time. There’s money to be made at them there stores!! Goddess, I salute you, well done!
That will be/is my new mantra, overage.
So…with the wts…do cashiers know about not requiring liquor or is there a hassle involved like me having to explain it to them…? I’m a tad nervous about using wts.
I think it really depends on your store…some places are cool and others aren’t. Some limit to one WT per day per person…You could try one and see what they do. That way you wouldn’t waste too much time if they shut you down!
You can double up those pork coupons? So I could buy one pork and get $2 off? Can you do any more than double them up? I just watched the Coupon Hunters show or whatever it’s called, and they were tripling up coupons, which I’ve never heard of. I mean if something is $3, and you have $1 off, it’s now free, and you’ve only used one source of coupon.
Justin, listen well, ’cause I’m not gonna repeat myself: Chicagoland does not have double or triple coupon deal. We pay high tax on most everything and our tax is based on the original amount – yes, before coupons. If you look at all the other couponing-type shows, they are in different parts of the country and you will never run a deal like they do, so don’t look for it.
We have our own ways of getting “stuff,” but all agree that doubles and triples would rock.
And you cannot use two mfr coupons on one item – NEVER! You can use a store coupon together with a mfr coupon. You can use a mfr coupon with a Wags IVC and the weekly ad coupon. But you will not be able to run more coupons than you have items (well, except at Jewel, where the cats and RRs just count as cash and are not tied to any one item in your order).
Everything you said is what I thought to be true, in that you can’t double or triple coupons, ever. The reason I asked is that you said you doubled up your pork coupons. I now see that you bought 2 porks, thus why you said you used 2 of them. My mistake.
Just know the questions I have will be less and less as I get all this.
BTW, I thought weekly ads were just ads, with no coupons? Are these weekly ads in the Tribune, separate from the S and R inserts? Or are they at Walgreens, separate from the IVC?
No, sometimes the weekly ads contain coupons, either store or mfr ones. The Fuze and VW coupons I gave away were, I believe, from a Cub Foods flyer in another state. If it’s a mfr coupon, you can use it anywhere, often with better sales elsewhere. Wednesday Trib has the weekly food sale ads for the sales starting on Thursday (around Chicagoland); Meijer stores in other states run on Sunday through Saturday. And yes, the Wags weekly ad coupons are in addition to the monthly IVC coupon deals – you can stack both with mfr coupons.
I just stopped getting the Wednesday paper, did I need that to get any weekly ad coupons? If not, then where do I get the weekly Walgreens ad coupons?
Thanks
Walgreens sales, for the most part, run from Sunday to Saturday; the sales ad is in the Sunday paper, along with Target, Kmart and Doms and Jewel Sunday specials. If you are distant from a store (like CVS) you will not get ads for that store. Instead, you can always go online and see the sales for that week.
I just never knew that there were coupons inside these sale papers. I look through Walgreens, Target, etc. to see what’s on sale, and then tossed them.
