Great Job !!!
Where do we find GM coupons ??
They were in the GM insert at the end of January. I don’t organize by date so I can’t tell you the exact date.
Wowza! Great shopping.
Most items, specially the gm deals, have a fine print that says “must buy 2, additional items will ring at shelf price”. Don’t know how you came up with these deals?
I did buy in the multiples they said–2 ocean spray fruit snacks, 2 BC Cakes, 3 BC Frosting, etc.
Where did you get the cfire coupon of Knorr?is this already gone?
It was actually a SR ecoupon from ShopRite’s website. I wrote it down wrong.
looks like she did buy those items in multiples of 2. As long as you buy in multiples of 2 and do not exceed the limit (if there is one) you get the “must buy 2 price”. If she bough an odd # for those items, she would get the special price for 2 of the items and the higher price for the 3rd
Did you do these deals using 2 different Price Plus cards? I was under the impression that it’s one DD cat for each deal per card? I am wondering if maybe that’s not true? Thanks!
was wondering that, too…
Nope, I used my same SR card in 4 sequential transactions
You are awesome!! Great use of your Catalinas. Job well done. I am going to try two of your deals for myself. Thank you.
DId you do this all in one shopping trip and just seperated each transaction?
I did these transactions all back to back. I went early so I wouldn’t hold up the lines.
Can you do dollar deals more than once?
How many times can we used the cfire coupons?
Only once, and, they do not double.
wow great job! i can’t find the knorr CF eithr:(
Did the Knorr cat print on its own? I am wondering if they fixed the problem from yesterday yet. I bought 6 Knorr RICE sides and had to go to CS to have it printed.
My CAT printed for Knorr no problem, but the $1/unilever Dollar Days did not come off. It came off in my last transaction with the Ragu, though.
I had the same result with the Knorr and Ragu deals. The e-coupon only worked with the Ragu, but I received the CAT for both.
The $1 Unilever Dollar Days ecoupon will only come off once. If you do that manufacturer’s deal more than once, you don’t get the extra $1 off each time, even if you are buying different things from that group in another transaction. It is the same as a regular ecoupon, a one time thing.
where do you get the dollar days coupon? thanks
nevr mind…got it…ecoupon!!
Is there a limit for using the cfire coupons and dollar days coupon?Can i do the same item transaction twice?Will it get the dollar days coupon and cfire coupon twice off too?TIA.
Your e coupons (cellfire, shoprite…) will only work once. However, you can do the dollar days deals multiple times – just not more than once in the same transaction.
None of my online shoprite dollar deal coupons came off at the checkout. Not sure why.
Did you check the body of your receipt, where each of the items is printed? Ecoupons don’t show up with the other coupons, they show up after the line where the price of the item is listed. If it is a coupon that covers more than one item, it shows up on the line after the last item that met the criteria is listed.
My additional dollar e-coupons had “TC” in front of them on the receipt, and as Rocky said, they were listed on the body of the receipt, not the end.
I double triple checked and the ecoupons definitely did not come off. But I think I figured out what happened. The cashier accidentally scanned my Price Chopper card on my keychain instead of Shoprite. Somehow I got the Shop Rite discounts anyways. Ex. Mott’s apple juice rang up at $2.49 and $2.49 but then $.98 came off anyways. So weird….
GREAT JOB!!!!
very nice !!
Love it !!!!! Awesome Job!!!!!
Thanks, everyone! I was SUPER excited for this shopping trip!
wow u did great !!!
Wow! Working to do the same tomorrow. Just to clarify, my ShopRite sales paper says Manufacturer offers cannot be combined. What exactly does that mean? I should be able to use coupons in partnership with the dollar day deals correct?
Thanks in advance!
great job! thanks for sharing!
great job! How did you get the 10 GM catalina?
Great Job,
I was off yesterday and it was my first “Sale Day Event”. I went to both Shop Rite (did 4 transactions) and Stop and Shop (did 3 transactions), Rite Aid (did 2 transactions) and Finally hit Staples for my Free Coffee. All said I spent $30.40 and received $380.80 in food and stuff. And still have $3.00 Ecoup from ShopRite and somehow I found a $2.50 for Stop and Shop. Great Day Ever !!!
Nice trip! I bought the smart balance items and didn’t get a cat (actually I bought bigger cooking oils because the smaller bottles were sold out). Does anybody know if the cat is product specific? I thought it was just buy $10 worth (which I did) and I didn’t get the cat. I might have to call, I guess.
It says “when you purchase $10 worth of participating Smart Balance products”, then lists the products and their sizes. So, sounds like, yes, you had to buy only the certain sizes/products they had listed as ‘participating (e.g.24 oz. bottle Omega Blend Oil @ $2.99).
You are such an awesome couponer! I will show this to my wife and I will go coupon with her. Hopefully we can do it the same way you do. Thanks for the pointers.
great job! thanks for sharing!
