Extreme Couponers In Training – ShopRite & CVS Trip

where are the snapple coupons?
wow thats gr8! I went last week to do the Whole Grain Pasta for $0.88 but there was none left! so i got a rain check… went again this week and were out again! or never restocked!
did the Barilla Pasta Sauce deal that was awesome!! 
great job megan!
Great job. Question though, since you used the milk catalina right after you got it, did you have to change checkout lanes? I always have to change because the register won’t allow my catalina to be used from the same checkout it printed from.
i’ve never had that issue
I never have a problem rolling it into the next transaction, at the same register.
The cashier told me I couldn’t use the milk catalina right then (on my 2nd transaction), but I asked him to try it and it worked fine on the same register.
I <3 the Dulce de Leche Cheerios, and my house is at 8 boxes and counting (headed back saturday for more! lol)
The Dulche twin pack is on clearance in Target Bodega section. I saw it marked down to $3.00 yesterday but forgot my coupons as I mainly went to get the Alexia fries, Bic Pens, and Play Doh for the baby.
just want to say that i didn’t shelf clear anywhere, there are endcaps full, and I have 3 shoprites within 7 minutes of my home so I usually hit each one for 1 transaction.
Wonderful job I went to both Shoprite and Cvs today too!!
What do you think of the PB Cheerios? I thought they were too sweet.
I tried the Dulce de Leche Cheerios today and did not like them at all. I am glad I just bought 1 box to try them which only cost me$1.00. I really like Honey Nut Cheerios and the Multi Grain.
OMG LOOOOVE the PB cheerios!!!! Dulce weren’t too bad but the PB were awesome!!!
I dont know if there is a weis near you guys but the have multi grain cereal,kix,cinnamon toast crunch on sale this week $1.50 each must buy 4 though but with your coupon 50 cent each i think its a super deal.
My shop-rite (Kingston NY 12401) would NOT let me us the Snapple coupon because is said “Redeem at Walmart). I was really upset!
The cashier at my Walgreens questioned that too on one of my coupons. I told her it was Redeemable at Walmart but it was a manufacturer’s coupon as it states at the top of the coupon and did not state Redeemable ONLY at Walmart. I explained it was simply Walmart paying for advertising on the coupons the same way Walgreens does on the Catalinas that print from their machine but are redeemable anywhere. She was very nice about it and agreed to scan it to see if the register would take it and it did, so she thanked me for teaching her something! It’s all in the wording!
Did anyone have a problem the the PB Cheerios $.80/1 coupon? Mine wouldn’t scan and the manager said she couldn’t override because it wasn’t in the system. Got the Dulce de Leche Cheerios instead but it seemed odd.
The manager at my ShopRite (Clark, NJ) pushed it through and said that it “just might not be in the system yet.” The cashier was NOT happy, she kept saying, “It’s not working because it’s FROM THE COMPUTER!” My goodness.
You go girl!
Awesome! I sure wish we had a CVS or ShopRite close!
I have the snapple coupon…I didn’t know if I could use it at shoprite because it says redeemable at Wal Mart..
If it doesn’t say Redeemable ONLY at Walmart, and says manufacturers coupon at the top, they should take it. Talk to a mgr if the cashier is confused. Good luck!
Mary,Thank you…I wanted to make sure..My SR is great,but… sometimes I so get a little trouble with the cashier…..
Has anyone been using the new 6.99 snapple rebate?
Sorry, but there is no Land O Lakes BUTTER coupon, only the spread coupons. Did I miss something?
Did anyone do the buy $20 get $5 for the Weight Watchers this week? I am planning on doing that tomorrow and wanted to know if it is working for shelf pricing towards the $20.
