MM cereal deal at Wags – 7 am – still working!

Note: This is a complete screw-up (imo) because for every four cups of Fruity Pebbles purchased, you receive a $3 RR and a $3 OYNO mfr cat (just like a Jewel cat).  Hit any and all Wags you encounter, because this is an excellent way to roll those Motrin RRs!  So far I’ve cleared out enough to run the deal 30 times.  I’m up a hundred bucks so far today… I suggest the 4 cup scenario because it allows you to use the $3 RR and .22 OOP for tax.  Spend .22 and earn $3 plus $3?  Yeah, that works. Do not call Steve to place any orders of any size – he is completely out.  No one knew about this deal in advance because it should not be happening – but is – sweet!

There is a national Post catalina running through March 20, which is somehow being triggered by the individual cups of Pebbles (only) on sale with in-ad coupon for .79.  Here’s what you do:

Buy 3 Pebbles, get back $2 store rr and $2 mfr RR; buy 4, get back $3 and 3; buy 5, get back $4 store RR and $4 mfr RR.

This cat is working at all Walgreens.  If you are purchasing large amounts through Wheaton, please call Steve this afternoon or tomorrow to place your order (630/682-2582).

 

thanks to MUM for this heads up…

Four stops in one post

Went to pick up the free Panda Express at their Ogden Avenue, DG store.  Since I was only across the parking lot from Dominicks, figured I’d run in and pick up some more of the Quaker Oats Square.  they had four… So I threw in the free 2L of Coke Zero on my Just 4U account and 18 packs of Trident, since I had nine BOGO coupons and it was a BOGO sale.  Cashier rings up everything fine until she gets to maybe the last couple of gum coupons…register beeps (probably because the sheer volume of coupons) and she looks closely at the coupons.  “Oh, they’re BOGO.”  this is a surprise?  “They’re on sale BOGO.”  cue twilight zone music.  “I can’t sell you them.  You’d have to buy one and then get 3 free.”  no, that’s not how BOGO coupons and BOGO sales work.  Brings over cs (not coupon nazi Mary), who says she’ll call the manager.  Store manager comes over and says he can let me do two transactions since I have two different types of gum and the coupon says only one coupon per purchase… Try to explain how the wording prevents someone from using ten coupons on one item, but realize that I should save my breath to cool my porridge.  Just take off all the gum and hand me back my coupons ’cause you people are majorly screwed up.  Send PITA to cs to get rain check for six cereal which I’ll use at Western Springs or Woodridge (have total of 16).   My cereal and pop purchase, less cereal coupons and $1.25 CPK OYNO came to .81.  and all the management shakeups in the world won’t help Dominicks ’cause you cain’t fix stupid…

Crossed to Panda Express and got our two free shrimp entrees.  It’s fairly spicy and very tasty.  Second set was from Butterfield/Naper location.

Driving down Ogden, decided to visit the Saratoga Jewel (Main Street) to check out their clearance section.  Couldn’t find it, but did find a whole shitload of chicken quarters (mostly frozen) reduced to .50/lb.  Also saw a sirloin steak with a $4 off coupon, which paired nicely with the BOGO on sirloin steak (so two for $6+).  Asked someone about the clearance section and they told us where it was hidden – yes hidden.  Spices that I paid .25 yesterday at the Lisle Jewel were marked .99!  Nutzoid.  They did have a rather large amount of Trident Superpack gum (spearmint and wintergreen, 18 pieces each) for .10.  Yes, you read that right, 10 cents!  So I was able to use up my nine Trident BOGO coupons after all.  It actually worked out much better because the Dominicks purchase would have been over a buck in high tax, whereas this was about .50 total.  Ended up with 66 packs which I will enjoy tremendously.  You can never have too much gum.  I paid with ten Motrin RRs, the nine Trident coupons and $1.68 in cash.

 

Free Haagen-Dazs

Read this on hip2save, so I decided to check it out.  If you join the Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream Social on FB (grrr) you get a coupon for a free Midnight Dazzler (served at the Haagen-Dazs Shops).  Well, I plugged in my zip and it said there was a store in Lisle.  Oddly enough, the location shown was in the middle of the retirement center, so unless Haagen Dazs is PEOPLE, ahem, excuse me, there’s a mistake.

Okay, I registered and it’s given me a whole bunch of other locations; the closest in downtown Naperville.  Well, since I’ve registered (used Hotmail – hah! that’ll learn ’em), we’ll see what I get.  other than fatter, i mean

If you go to the El Monterey FB page and like them you earn 10 points, which you can then use to buy a BOGO coupon on any El Monterey products (up to $10); this line is carried at Jewel, Target and Dominicks.  If you have a few minutes, watch the short commercials:  they’re pretty funny.
