I’m sitting on a stack of Register Rewards expiring NOW. Let’s face it, the Wags deals have sucked donkey balls lately, right? This year’s Jingle Bucks is an insult to our intelligence (use it with a $30 purchase – puhleeze!).
Yesterday I spent about $50 or $60 in RRs at Wags, stocking up on Nips for my mom (boy is she gonna be surprised!). She likes them, they get stashed in her freezer and they’re on sale. and i had to burn those stupid… ahem…
So you see here my Jewel purchases: Two large packages of pork roast for carnitas were about $20 (in the oven as we speak) – the two packages of tortillas and three limes go with. The four salads were BOGO and I’m hungry since I didn’t eat lunch, so can pretend I’m eating healthy (I have a very active imagination, okay?). The bread was FREE using a cat that PITA found, same for the Jewel brand biscuits and a $2 Produce cat was thrown in for good measure. The Homelife paper towels were thrown in ’cause they’re free and you can never have too many, right? The Scott catalina purchases you already can figure out. I took 12 of those puny Jewel chilis (mild) because they were clearanced out at 10¢ a can – the jars of jalapeno were 35¢. The two quarts of light whipping cream are what I use in my coffee – no coupons and no sales – boo hoo.
Ended up using four $9.50 RRs and $1.75 for the main transaction; the two additional Scott ones were $1.63 each. I ended up with 21 game tickets…with no winners whatsoever. Between Jewel and Walgreens, it’s hard to know who’s out to screw us more – who’d of thought CVS would end up being our go-to store!?
Speaking of sitting on a stack of RRs, you know that Miller rebate? Ya, well I saved up 2 receipts that total over $100, but after a closer look, my OOP for one was $1.xx and the other was $5.xx, and I remember that it’s your OOP that they want at $100, so ya. Stupid RRs counting as manufacturer coupons.
Justin, just where do you get your (mis)information? I submitted a few Miller rebates last time around and I had big, long, honkin’ receipts that subtotaled over $100 (by quite a bit), but my OOP was slightly over tax. Got my rebates, that’s for sure. Why should the beer company care if you bought groceries using coupons or not?
I thought I got it from you or at least from somebody posting on here. I just remember that you had to buy $100 (not including the beer), and that coupons counted against you. OK well that’s good to know, glad I saved the receipts still. I agree they shouldn’t care.
