Forum Leader Note: You can view this weeks ad at: This Week's Circular from Dollar General. If you aren't familiar with this coupon please read over this thread before posting questions: $5/$25 Dollar General Store Coupon Information.

[jcsaxx]

Was waiting to see this happen this coming weekend. I have $3/2 Clorox/All coupons and $1 off Oxydol coupons that I'll use with the $5/25 coupon. Yeehaw!!!

[realsweety]

I know, I had a feeling it was coming also.I think since the $5/$25 is going so well for them that every 2 weeks is starting to be a regular thing.I love it!

[womandh]

YEAH!! Does anybody get the ad that will be running during that time?

[scottd09]

I updated the first post with the ad.

My DG has the Finish Quantum 10 ct pkgs at regular price for $3, so I think I'm going to do this.

2 - Clorox2 Stain Fighter & Color Booster Detergent 26 oz. Box $2.50
2 - All Fabric Softener Dry Sheets $1.50
2 - Oxydol 1.00
5 - Finish Quantum $3
Total $25

Use
1 - $5/25 DG coupon
2 - $3 off both All AND Clorox 2 (IP)
2 - $1 off ANY Oxydol (IP)
5 - $1 off ANY Finish Quantum
Total OOP = $7 before tax

I'm am about out of Paper Towels, too, so I'm going to be looking for the prices on those for any match-ups. I'll post if I find anything good.

[scottd09]

Here's what I have planned:

4x Clorox2 Powder $2.50
4x All Sheets $1.50
2x Wisk $4
1x Kiss Nails $1

Sub-total: $25

Coupons:
1x $5/$25
4x $3 Clorox2/All
2x $1.25 Wisk
1x $1 Kiss

Total: $4.50

I was hoping to use the Glade Warmer coupons but they have the new barcode only which means they won't scan. Maybe I can think of a way to use them.

[womandh]

My DG does not carry the All Sheets...any other scenarios?

[realsweety]

If laundry detergent is still $4 might do that again
$4x6 detergents = $24(if the ALL is still on sale i'll get that)
$1 snack candy
$25
$5/$25 coupon
$20 it would be less if the ALL is on sale

I might do Olay and Aussie/herbal essence since I have coupons for those.
need shampoo/conditioner and hairspray
between those it should be to hard making it to $25

I like the Swiffer idea someone mentioned during the last $5/$25 deal. It was this;
Swiffer Duster Starter Kit- $4.50 (x2)} $9
Swiffer Refills- $8 (x2)} $16
Total: $25
-$5/$25 q
-BOGO Swiffer q from 3/4 P&G (x2)} $16
= $4

I really do need some refills and $1 each is a good price.

[tpk]

I like the swiffer too!

Make sure they scan the refills first then the kits. Coupon auto attaches to the first one even if it's the kit. This will save you headaches! I know from experience.

Does the full $16 come off? I'm unsure how the BOGO coupons work with the store coupon since they have the enter a price usually on BOGO coupons.

The full $8 comes off each one automatically when the Q is scanned. They do not have to key them in. I did this at the last $5/$25. I had refill, kit, refill, kit scanned. Took the $5/$25, auto took off $8, and then automatically took off $4.50. So, have them scan the refills both first, then the starter kits.

Thanks! I'm going to pick up 4 or 8 of each.

[scottd09]

Nevermind. I found the coupon you're talking about.

Thanks for pointing that out! I did this deal last time but by sheer luck my refills happened to be scanned first. There's a new cashier at my Dollar General- who I've come to realize hate's me and my coupons with a fiery passion - so I'm going to have to be very careful about getting the refills scanned first.

Just put them on the counter first and then the kits after they scan those. If they give you issues, please ask for a store manager and call corporate if needed.

Will do, I really hope I don't have to get a manager or corporate involved, I only have one Dollar General in my area and I don't want to have to deal with the undue resentment my pushing the matter might bring on (don't want to get a bad rep at my DG, but I don't want to over pay either). The store has two nice cashiers that work there but this recent cashier and the manager (who I just met today) don't seem very coupon friendly. Just today they tried to tell me I couldn't use a manufacturer coupon and a store coupon together (wouldn't even scan it at first) referencing some mysterious "policy change" that they had a "meeting" for that she didn't have time to inform me of. I some how doubt that was quite truthful, considering I heard her say something about couponers "holding up their lines" to the cashier and the fact that they eventually scanned it. Oh well here's to hoping the swiffer deal goes down better.

Oh brother... I like scottd09's suggestion. Hopefully no snags and a happy Saturday.

Price match at Wal-Mart.

[lyramac]

Wish I had a dollar general
My dollar store doesn't take coupons...

[shelly2234]

I am doing the swiffer deal Thank you so much!

[sSsLiZARdSsS]

I have this planned if my DG still has the stock:

6 Clorox 2 Powders @ $2.50. $15
2 All sheets @ $1.50. $3
2 Midnite @ $3. $6
1 Curad Elmo $1

-$5. $5/$25
-$6. 2 $3 off All and Clorox 2
-$6. 4 $1.50 off any Clorox 2
-$2. $1 off Midnite
-$0.50 off Curad

Should be $5.50 plus tax.

Will do Swiffer as well, but I'll mix it up a bit. I want the wet cloths. The duster is the cheapest kit so I'll do those. I think the wet refills are $5.50 or $6. I can't remember. So, let's say this:

2 Swiffer wet refills @ $6. $12
2 Swiffer duster kits @ $4.50. $9
3 Kiss nail stickers @ $1. $3
1 Curad Elmo. $1

-$5. $5/$25
- $12. 2 BOGO @ $6
-$3. 3 $1 Kiss nails
-$0.50 Curad

$4.50 plus tax. Will adjust on the fly when I find out the cost of the wet mop refills. I might whip up a few more later.
