They were still (again) out of the Beggin’ Strips, but since the BOGO sale runs through 6/12 and I have a rain check for 30, I’m covered. I picked up the stuff here mostly to run up enough to use the $/$$ cats that PITA picks up. In this case I was slightly over $60 before coupons – ended up at $7, but couldn’t go lower because two of the steaks can use the Stockman $2 coupons from the previous Jewel booklet (Save $24 one). What really killed me were the four half-gallons of Nature’s Farm milk and a quart of cream. Those dairy items alone were almost twenty bucks. yikes! So, let’s see what we got: Two nice steaks and one London broil; two small packages of pub burgers, using two $2.50 wts, together with couponless buns; Jay’s chips with $2 wt; six mangoes (mgr special 3/$1); three Oxi clean ($1.50 rain check less $4 in coupons); Cliff bar (“found” cat); onions (no coupon!); large whole watermelon (vodka wt conveniently placed next to the display).
Paid with the above coupons and $32 in RRs from the REACH toothbrushes…so free! Will return with the $4 in steak coupons and use another RR.
I am surprised they let you use the watermelon wts even though you did not buy the vodka??? I know you don’t have to in illinois but you got a huge set to walk up and use a store coupon like that fur sure………do you or anyone have any language from the law that says this, usually it is printed on the manu wts but the store ones dont say that on them at all???
Of course I have a huge set – and when I wear shorts (like today) they tremble in fear – the clerks that is, not the set…
It doesn’t matter what the coupon says or doesn’t say. Doesn’t matter if it’s a store or a manufacturer coupon. If the law is set up for one situation, namely not requiring the purchase of alcohol as a condition of using the coupon for another product, then that is the only thing that matters.
So today I used wts for the Jays, two packages of pub burgers, one watermelon and a store $/$$ cat PITA found. If they had had the Cape Cod spicy chips I would have used even more wts.
Goddess – Love ya ! You have such a way with words!
I think I’ll maybe grow a pair and finally use wts tomorrow…
DS and I used a ton of WT with 5/31 expiry dates on 5/31, loaded up the freezer with steaks, chicken and pork, watermelon etc, took a $120 shopping down to $11 with $20 in RRs and coupons, oh and a bottle of tequila.
few weeks ago when we were checking to see how they would be handled, walked up to the dude at Uscan, and couldn’t even get the words out before Eric said, yup, no alcohol purchase required.
Goddess helped me grow my pair, tyvm!!
And here I was gonna bitch cuz you are pissing the money away! 🙂
I am going to try this up North in never never land up here…wish me luck! IF the morons up here tell me no I am DEFINITELY making a roadtrip to the Goddess’s Jewel…then I can stop and visit my folks on the way!
and, AND, to top it off, the best part was that at Uscan, most of the WTs scanned.
by themselves.
no intervention needed.
scan, $3 off.
scan, $3 off.
rinse and repeat!!! until hit the coupon limit then, Eric came over and put the rest through.
he had seen that in the cart, there was a WT on each item so he didn’t count up the meat packages and verify the number of WTs. plus, he said we could do them all in one transaction. that dude rocks.
