What looked like a pretty decent week turned out – not to be.  The deals I was looking at were the Trident gum single packs:  buy in multiples of 3 and 2 (example 6, 12, 18) and use the $1/3 from 9/12 SS, then the Wags September booklet’s $1/2 and then the in-ad coupon for .79 (in that order).  Although that coupon says limit 3, the register doesn’t give a shit and let’s hope it’s the same with your cashier.  In other words, ymmv.  This gives you a small MM, so make sure to have something to eat up the overage.  Then I was going to pick up the Gain dish soap .89 using the in-ad coupon and pair it up with the $1 from the September P&G insert.  Again, small MM.  Naturally, my store had neither; the store looked like a Soviet Union Wags – bare shelves (or was that bear [for Russia, get it? sometimes I slay myself]).  I was hoping to get all this and then use the extra 15% discount with my library card for greater overage.

Well, I got rainchecks on the Gain, so we’ll see later this week what comes in.  I’m holding rainchecks for 26 Garnier hair colors so I’ll use the overage to bring down the hair color even more.

Don’t forget, if you get grief at your Wags about the overage on Gain, you can always head on over to Wal-mart, Dollar General or Family Dollar, where it’s always a buck or less.
