They’ve changed the game plan on us, peeps. No longer are they taking the $3 store coupon before the mfr coupons. Am I upset? Of course. Store mgr is going to let the higher ups know that the wording does not indicate that a mfr coupon is a “discount.” And know something else? The people in marketing have run this race before – it’s not a surprise to them.
So, while I couldn’t get the absolute cheapest price on my Sinex, I did quite well. In fact I completed 12 transactions, spent $52.20 (including tax) and got back $120 in RRs, or a $67.80 profit. boo hoo ’cause i didn’t get more? not this camper.
Thrown into the mix are the six packages of Homestyle mac for .1666/each (sale 3/$5, $1 1/16 s coupon; $1/2 ivc) and four of the Blue Diamond almonds (I didn’t use almond coupons, ’cause I had too much overage already – so sue me).
So since I still have 19 of the $3 coupons, my game plan just changes: 1 Joint Juice and 2 cans of Blue Diamond almonds. $14 less .75/2 blue diamond (10/10 or 12/05 s) less $3 Wags equals $10.25 plus tax. Pay with Sinex and get back $10 in Joint Juice RR. lather, rinse, repeat.
If they run out of the Joint Juice or you want to substitute, go for the Appetite Control Spray, which will hopefully stop you from eating all those almonds…
