Since there’s really no good sales out there, I spent today at a couple of garage sales and then drove over to Target to pick up some freebies. Exhibit A:I
I picked up 13 of the Chef Michael dog food (8/22 S Target q); 16 Meow Mix (9/26 RP); 10 single use Tide (9/26 P&G). Total was $4.41 paid out of one of my many Target gift cards. These things must be breeding ’cause there’s no other explanation for the quantity in my wallet.
Important note: The new P&G insert coupons state “LIMIT OF 4 LIKE COUPONS in same shopping trip.” WTF? This means some poor schmuck won’t be able to buy five Tide bottles during the next sale at Jewel or Dominicks? I have some real doubts about the people running the P&G marketing campaigns… In any case, just split up the orders, cause here I’m not looking to hit any price targets (ooh, a pun, laugh, dammit) or catalinas to spit out. I ran three transactions, two with only Tide. The cashier was very nice, no trouble at all about it. But it’s still stupid.
How many newspapers do you buy each week??
I actually have only four Sunday papers delivered. By combining two codes (using the Trib cs person) I am able to not only get them for .50/each but also get a $25 Target gift card. In essence, the Trib pays me to get the papers. I also get quite a few inserts from friends and family (sometime up to 75 or 80!), although not all are the Chicago Tribune. But still, free is good! In the past I have also purchased entire inserts if there was a particularly good MM deal (Aquapods anyone?)
If anyone is interested in the how-tos of getting cheap/free paper subscriptions, let me know and I’ll do a whole post.
