On the Wags front, picked up seven of the Luster White because I was only rolling my $3 Colgate RRs; the white box contains six more packages and I used more of those Easter pencils as fillers.
Jewel – Ran in for the Mrs. T and to check on the expiration date of the brats deal – TODAY! OK, must return later.
While at Wags, I checked out the Aquafresh training toothpaste and the children’s toothpaste. The week of 4/20 Wags will issue a mid-week sale ad and one of the items will be these two items for $1.99. Well, the April IVC book has a $1 coupon AND there is supposed to be a $1 mfr coupon in the 4/17 r, so we’re talking .01 overage (make sure you have something else or have them mark down the coupon or mark up the item – either way it’s free). Now, I don’t need to stock up on fluoride-free products, but I’m hitting them up for at least 20 because the flavor on the pictured item is apple-banana. and i am so done with mint…kwim?
So what the fuze? What is up with the fuze sale at jewel…mashupmom has me all types of confused.
Fuze is a Coke product made with, I believe, microscopic amounts of juice. But it sure does taste good! Well, to me anyway. They have a banana colada, strawberry, just a whole bunch of different flavors. Anyway, the deal is that other areas/states got the Buy 10, get $5 off instantly, which would have brought it down to .49 and last week’s insert had a $1/2, so free Fuze. The sale in Chicago changed to a BOGO sale (single item price .99), which doesn’t change the amount we pay (FREE!), and actually makes it easier to run if you don’t have coupons in sets of five. So you buy two Fuze drinks and something else (or lots of Fuze with one less coupon because of the .01 overage on each set of two) and basically pay tax. Now, I have to say that not everyone likes this stuff, so do not go crazy ’cause it’s free – it’s high tax. Free with high tax is never a good combination.
Understand the Fuze deal now?
Thanks! I’ve been working (minus my obsessive compulsive coupon blog checking) crazy since it started getting warm in chicago…the mercury rises so does the crime…my mind is numb! Oooo I do like Fuze…so I’m excited to get it…
Ah, just what side of the crime scene are you on? Please don’t tell us it’s investigating allegations of coupon fraud! And I was hoping you’d say you hate the taste of Fuze and would be happy to send me your coupons. sigh…..
What I would suggest that everyone do (except those rats who got the Hoy) is to buy the Fuze upfront using whatever coupons you have, then wait until the coupon/insert prices come down. I was checking and they are either crazy high and/or there are really low limits. I saw one place selling ONE insert for .95! Excuse me, but I can buy the whole damned paper (with a couple of inserts) for a buck. Once the sale is over, the price should drop. Since you can return to Jewel within 60 days of the sale with your coupons (even if they’ve since expired), it’s a sweet way to work a deal. Put it on a credit card, so you’re not OOP and then it gets credited back with the coupon cash.
I work in the OCD…or organized crime division…gang enforcement. Yes those dirty hoy papers produced me 74 lovely fuze coupons and 96 mars candy coupons.
Bless you! I have a soft spot for law enforcement…my mom work for the DG police.
brown-noser just wants the Fuze coupons…
Nice job Goddess! Keep bringing them over please!
LOL mariposa, didn’t mean to confuse! Some folks were having trouble at their stores at the last sale w/ coupons being refused when they’re over the price of an item, so was trying to give options.
Hey, go back to fishing your own pond, missy. She’s mine now!
Its no biggie! More me than you MUM! Only calling you mum because deranged.me has brainwashed me. You do a stand up job!
What’s the IVC book???
Nevermind… I found the coupon. I still have no idea what the IVC stands for… maybe it will come to me after coffee.
Instant Value Coupon.
OHhhhhhhhh! Gotcha! Thank you…
Just got my 80 fuze…no problamo.
I hate you and am going to organize a road trip to steal back the Fuze which I consider my rightful property. be afraid…be very afraid
Bwahahhaha…so did you watch extreme couponing with the twins from Chicago? I wonder where they shop at? I sense a coupon turf war…oh and I would never encroach upon your coupon dominion…I much too enjoy striking fear into the eyes of my local cashiers with my stacks of coupons.
Goddess, I like this one, can we keep her??
I’m doing the breakfast thingy with MUM tomorrow, so I’ll ask if we can keep her. Is she snarky enough now or will she learn?
I get the sense that there’s enough mariposa to go around!
Ah, now we could take this comment as either a compliment to Mariposa’s snarkiness or a slam on her weight. hmmm… Goddess chooses WEIGHT. clear the space.
Catfight!
Omg! You need to be more technologically advanced like MUM so I don’t miss these threads! Other comments I am commentless and will happily eat this free crepe and caramel machiatto a la Dana Cafe and so will my hips and ass.
Hmm… gratuitous slams on weight… I think I win by default on the _niceness_ scale. But y’all knew that 😛
Ooh, mariposa, how was the dana cafe? It looked very cool but I’m nowhere near there…
Pretty cool. Very hot tasty coffee…very hott (with two ts) european men pulling on those espresso handles…unfortunately lots of bloody high school kids but it bees dat way sumtimezzz…
Hot guys? Pulling on their handles? ROAD TRIP!!!
