Yes, I had the exact same thing happen on bettycrocker.com.

Now it says I reached my limit. so no Q's for me.

Now they are done. I just finished the General Mills ones. There are so many in there that if there is a specific one that you want, be sure to go to the "coupon menu" at the top and click on "Coupon database". Type in just the name brand and then search by clicking on the "product" button. I tried to get them all, but you never know.

[jillliebean]

Thanks HappySteph for the answer back on bettycrocker.com. Very frustrating!!

To other who have been wondering - I don't care for the Ronzoni meals at all! I've tried a couple of the chicken w/ some kind of white sauce (linguine & mushrooms) and they smell icky before I even started to warm them and tasted worse. The red sauce tomato/basil ones didn't smell so bad but were barely tolerable for me. My kids wouldn't eat them either. Sometime even free isn't good.

[Lynda1811]

I just tried the BC website and still not working. UGH

As for the ronzoni meals, I think I'll give it a try. If I don't like them, then well donate to the food shelf. Someone might like them.

Anyone try the wanchai ferry chinese meals? Sorry to ask so many questions. Wanting to stock up.

Lynda

[Kmchamplin]

I was looking at the Wanchai meals also. They would be $1.99 after a coupon and the 10 off of $10.

Not a problem. I have been doing the kmart list and there have been a few times that I have put 21 for the amount to buy. That curser just won't move when I want it too. LOL

Lynda

[thetagirl2]

I have tried the Wanchai meals and thought they were really good. I would definitely recommend them. There is also a try me free out there for it.

[rach]

I have met the curser today too!

I put most of the expireds in the coupon matchup, does that make is better or more confusing for people?

[Lynda1811]

Well, I just took a quick look a few times, but I like the expired ones in there as well. So that way I know the insert, and that there are expired coupons to use on the deals.

But, what ever works for you, works for me.

for me thinking this week was going to be borning well i have 4 GM deals planned out i will put out of pocket around $20 and will in with a 10 off next order
but will get
15 fruit snacks
12 warm del
5 frostings
5 cookies
2 rom grills
1 pill cinn rolls
so it will cost me 10 out of my budget to get all this .. i am tired just thinking about but my kids will be so happy with these goodies .
thanks everyone for the work put into this
edit to say oh no i just found 8 more fruit snack coupons
i found 1.00/2 printable and 1.00 /3 they where printed not sure only exspire 2/13

[creativecoupons]

Why, Oh why??? I try so hard to buy "good" things for my family and then they tempt me with an overage of $.50 for every 5 fruit snacks I take off their hands. WHY???

Between that and the $1.10/1 Progresso IPs I'm just might come out even after the other things I through in. Once I get my rounds worked up I'll try to post like others have. I have to rework now that I need to buy fruit snacks in sets of 5 instead of 10.

I didn't see anyone mention it, but the cake mix is only $.29 after the Cat. I haven't seen any coupons for it, but it seems like a great price to me. It should last for months so I'm planning on grabbing some of those for birthdays this year.

If anyone needs fruit snack coupons check out the*********cher.com. She has $1/2 coupons and they are only $.03 each. I just sent in my order so some along with some frosting, brownie, and other random things for this week. She ships as soon as she gets the PP confirmation, and has great customer service.

[snoopywoman]

Well, I have a ton of fruit snacks coupons so I will try to do this so that I can get the most for my $!

5 fruit snacke = $10.00. Use 2 .50/2 = 10.00-1.00 = 9.00
2 BC cake mixes = 2.58
3 BC frosting = 5.07 - 1.50 (.50/1 q) = 3.57

9.00 + 2.58 + 3.57 = 15.15
Get 13.50 back.

Repeat above but only spend 1.65 oop and get $13.50 oop.

Then 5 fruit snacks at 10.00 - 1.00 = 9.00
5 Grands biscuits at 8.32 - 2.75 in coupons (I have 2 $1.00 off ones) = 5.57

So pay 14.57 - 13.50 to roll. Pay 1.07 oop and get 13.50 back oyno.

Repeat above scenario - except I will only have .25 Grands coupons. Which has me paying 7.07 for the biscuits. So, 16.07 for my total then use 13.50 in previous oynos to pay.

OOP = 2.57 and get 13.50 in oyno.

For all of this I would pay 20.44 and still have 13.50 in oyno. I think that's pretty darn good!

I would have total:
20 fruit snacks
4 cake mixes
6 frostings
10 Grands Biscuits.

40 items for less than $7 total (if you include the $13.50 in oyno I have to spend on the next transaction)! Which I might use for the Buy $25/get $10 oyno in the other section of the paper!

[Lynda1811]

I'm still working on my deals, thank you for posting yours.

Lynda

[mom4]

snoopywomen yes we need to come up with a plan for 10/25 deal as there a few item there i need .
i some reason dont have a lot of frosting coupon or cake i might need to see if i did nto cut them ..
looks good snoopywomen . i have to change mine arounds a little now i found more fruit snacks and my out of pocket should be around 9 iam getting these grills and they cost to much . but one i really like

[snoopywoman]

One thing I noticed when I did the math - it is cheaper to get 5 fruit snacks at a time rather than use an extra .50/2 coupon and get 6. So that allows you to save a coupon to do more deals that get you a $3.50 catalina and saves you more money too!

ETA: I figured this based on taking $1.00 off for each item you buy (since it is buy 10, get $10.00 back) and then taking off the catalina as well. So for instance 5 fruit snacks = 10.00 - 1.00 coupons (2 of .50/2) = 9.00. Take 5.00 for the oyno ($1.00 for each item) and you have 4.00. Then take 3.50 off for catalina = .50. Divide by 5 (which is how many fruit snacks you are buying) and they are .10 each. Then for 6, you would pay 12.00 - 1.50 for coupons (3 of the .50/2) = 10.50. Take 6.00 off oyno ($1.00 for each item) and you have 4.50. Take 3.50 off and you have 1.00. Divide by 6 (which is how many fruit snacks you are buying in that transaction) and they are about .16 each.

5 fruit snacks
5 x 2.00 each = 10.00
10.00 - 1.00 (coupons) = 9.00
9.00 - 5.00 ($1.00 off per item for the oyno) = 4.00
4.00 - 3.50 catalina = .50
Divide by 5 (how many boxes you're getting = .10 each

6 fruit snacks
6 x 2.00 each = 12.00
12.00 - 1.50 (coupons) = 10.50
10.50 - 6.00 ($1.00 off per item for the oyno) - 4.50
4.50 - 3.50 catalina = 1.00
Divide by 6 (how many boxes you're getting = about .16 each

[HappySteph]

That's crazy! 10 cents for a box of fruit snacks!

[thetagirl2]

Also, there are .50/1 fruit stackers q's out there that you can add to the 2 .50/2, so you can still get money off each box and only get 5 at a time. Unfortunately I only had one of these.

[thetagirl2]

Also, the coupons on the betty crocker website (if you can get them) are .75/2, so it's an even better deal.

[snoopywoman]

So, my plan is to take my $13.50 from my above transactions to roll into the Buy $25, get $10 oyno. If you have the All You September magazine you could substitute Hunt's Snack packs and get 4 for 4.00 - 1.50 (2 of the .75/2) = 2.50 in place of the popcorn in my scenario. Or if you shop in Eden Prairie, there is a coupon that expired on 9/30 from the 8/03 SS. They take expireds up to five months, I've heard. You could also substitute 4 Swiss Miss cocoas - but there are no coupons I could find for the regular kind. There was a printable coupon for Crunch n' Munch for 1.00/2 - I didn't try it as the 4 oz. box is pretty small and I wasn't sure if it would print for a bigger size. This scenario is totally based on what I need - so you may be able to find something better. But these are all things I will use and I am in need of!

4 Act II popcorn = $4.00 - 1.60 (4 of .40 coupons - 12/14 SS) = 2.40
2 Hunt's Snack Pack = $2.00
2 Parkay margarine spray = $3.00 - .75/2 (11/16 SS) = 2.25
3 Healthy Choice Soups - $3.99 - .75/3 (10/26 SS - database was wrong for coupon I have) = $3.24
5 Marie Callender Meals = 12.50 (no coupons that I could find)

Total before qs = 25.49 - 3.10 = 22.39 - 13.50 I'm rolling = 8.89 oop. Get back $10.00 oyno.

So, my grand total for both oyno deals should be 29.33 and I get back 10.00 oyno.

I will also be getting the twin-pack of milk = 3.28
1 bag of shredded lettuce (for tacos) = 1.00
2 pints of blueberries = 3.49

So, a total of 37.10 (I believe) for everything (with me still having $10 oyno to spend next week) including:
20 boxes of fruit snacks
4 cake mixes
6 frostings
10 Grands Biscuits.
4 Act II popcorn
2 Hunt's Snack packs
2 Parkay Margarine Sprays
3 Healthy Choice Soups
5 Marie Callender meals
2 gallons of milk
1 bag of shredded lettuce
2 pints of blueberries

I also noticed that if you have a $1 printable for Chex Mix, they would basically be free when using them in the buy 10, get $10 back. They are $2.00 and if you use the $1 coupon and consider you are getting $1 back per item from the $10 oyno - they are free!

Oh man, My head is spinning..............

[Kmchamplin]

That is why I just grab my coupons and head into the store with no plan.

[superk]

Thanks for posting different scenarios. I will have to give some of these a try.
