Hey from Green Bay and was actually searching around to see if anyone else shops here. I have a Copps right by my house, but I actually do shop at PickNSave when I am visiting family down south of GB. Double Deals on Wednesday is still going on at my store, and at all the ones I have visited. Most of these stores accept IP coupons for $1 or less but don't accept them for anything that is free.

This week I was able to get 5 General Mills Cereals (2 Total Cinnamon Crunch, 1 Fruity Cheerios, 1 Honey Nut Cheerios, and one Multi-Grain Cheerios) for 33cents a box, with my coupons doubled. And Dawn soap (4 bigger bottles) for $1 each, I can't remember what else I got that was good.

I forgot to ask, is there a way we can see if we can get a group going for this store? I am new to A Full Cup. But would love to get others ideas for these stores, none of the other stores listed are in my area.

I second that.

[JLL]

I live in a Milwaukee suburb and shop at Pick N Save for some items. Their sale prices are pretty good, but I prefer to do the bulk of my shopping at Woodman's in Oak Creek. The prices are significantly lower than Pick N Save. They accept MQ's and IP's as well, but you can only pay in cash or debit card-no credit card. I shop at Sentry infrequently unless they have a sale price on something I need and I have a coupon for it. Their base price is high. I'll shop Sendik's occasionally for a good sale-they tend to be a bit higher than Pick n Save.

[juliee]

Yes we need a group!!! Who do we ask?
I'm near GB also.

[Lucy2]

I am BRAND NEW to AFC and live in New Berlin. Would really appreciate some experience with this. I agree with JLL, I use Pick N Save for advertised bargains, Sentry ever so often if good ad, but travel to Southeast Wisconsin and jump to Jewel in Zion,IL where there are always bargains. Would love to keep my business closer to home. Not so inspired by Pick n' Save this week but see that Sentry has pizzas 4/$10 (college kids) and a few more inspiring buys ( a rarity but well appreciated!!!); Sendik's can have some great sales on fresh fruits and vegs; I just saw a new to the neighborhood card they mailed out for the new store on Drexel and it is 10% off purchases for 1 year - need to see how to get one.

[bcgcoupons]

I'm in favor of a group too -- not sure how that works, I'm new as well.

Hey does it bug you that Copp's (Pick-n-Save too, they're the same, right?) puts regular price items in their flyers? I got a raincheck for Swanson chicken a few weeks ago, and then the next week, when the "sale" was over but the cans were back in stock, pulled out my raincheck - and discovered the price was the same!

This week I'm going to use the Wednesday double coupon deal to buy these things:
Cheerios (4/$10, minus $1/2 coupons, doubled, means $2 boxes)
Kellogg's (I'm really hoping Cracklin' Oat Bran, but probably not on sale ... anyway, 4/$10, minus .70/1 coupons, doubled, means $1.10 boxes)
Tide - $5.99 (gonna use one of my new P&G mailer coupons, $1/1, doubled, means 3.99 bottle)
Muir Glen Salsa (2.50 minus $1/1, doubled, means .50 jar)
Juicy Juice (2/$5 minus $1/2, doubled, means 1.50 bottles)
Not excited by price of Hillshire farm sausages, but need to use up some coupons ($1/2) I bought on Ebay before they expire.

I split up my purchases into $25 units so I can get the double coupons more than once. I frequently go to different stores, because I'm right in the middle of three different Copp's (all less than a couple miles away). There's one cashier I love on university (and one I'll do anything to avoid), so if I know she's working I'll do multiple transactions in one trip.

I figure it's okay, because I once had a manager tell me to do that on a cheese deal that week.

BCG does that mean you live in Madison and go to the Copps on University near Hilldale? Because I go there too. I live less than half a mile away from the one on Fish Hatchery rd but avoid that store at all costs.

Right now I live in Oshkosh (used to be from Milwaukee) and I shop at PnS bc it is the closest and they are SUPER coupon friendly. Plus my only other option is Festival and it is kind of out of the way, especially during tax season. My PnS agrees with the above statement. The cool thing is that with non-IP qs, they will pretty much accept all of them even if for a slightly diff product. Ie.. Q is for Coke, they will accept Coke Zero.

Never thought about splitting up orders to get more doubling, but that sounds like a great idea. I will have to try that sometime after tax season since right now I only have time to shop Fri-Sun due to working such long hours. I do like that my PnS is 24/7 and when I can't sleep, I will go shopping. hehe.

I will see what I can do about getting us our own thread!

[linz152]

Thanks for letting us know you are interested in adding this forum. We will continue to monitor this thread for interest in this forum.

[snowballgirl]

add me to the list! I'm in FDL....

I shop Pick when the sales are really good...coming from the land of unlimited doubles (Kroger!! sniff..I really miss Kroger..sniff) their doubles are a pain but I do try to take advantage when I can!

Yes, that's what that means. As soon as I hit 'send' last night I realized I should have clarified the city, but it was too late. I go there and to the one on Whitney Way - and occasionally, if I'm in the area, the one on Century in Middleton.

I loved the 'good old days' when Pick-n-Save and Copps had different sales and I could compare fliers. And, Snowballgirl, I can't imagine what it would be like to have unlimited double coupons - did they double only on certain days??

I'm heading down to Indiana in a couple weeks and hope Kroger's having a good sale that I can use to stock up on some key items!

[juliee]

I am going to try to use my $2 off q's for Birdseye meals for Two. Also there is another q' for Buy a Meal for Two and get a free bag of veggies!
Sounds like it could be a great deal!

Also a few others...

Rhode's warm & serve rolls 2/$4.50- .75 man q x 2 =.75 each
Bagel Bites 2/$3.00 - $1/2 IP x 2 = $1.00 for 2 or .50 each
Green Giant steamers 4/$7 - .50 IP x 2 = 3.00 for 4 or 1.50 for 2

[juliee]

BTW, I LOVE that you can make a shopping list to print off Copo's website. And the fact that it is divided into each area of the store. Makes it so easy to shop there.

nope...every day they would double up to 50 cents...NO MATTER HOW MANY COUPONS YOU HAD...

andddddd..

about once a month they did Triples! anything up to 50 cents was tripled anything 50 cents and over was doubled!

this was in central Indiana....believe me it was a shocker to move to WI!

[hilarios]

Well I'm not gonna complain. It is nice to get an extra $5 off every Wednesday. (Only 5 qs are doubled up to a $1)

[bcgcoupons]

I shouldn't complain either - I'm quite new to the couponing world (basically started in January) and have seen a big difference in our grocery bill just by paying attention to what I'm buying and when I'm buying it - coupons are just icing on the cake. So where I'm buying must be working fine! And I like Copps too - for the most part the employees seem happy and friendly.

One time I said something to the desk person about how nice my cashier had been (I was getting a rain check) and she went and got a manager and had me say it again. Then the manager went to the microphone and announced over the loudspeaker that a customer had just said great job to XX (can't remember her name). The cashier turned and saw me and gave me a big smile - I wonder if she got anything beyond the public recognition - but even that alone is nice.

[hilarios]

Aww, that is TOO neat.

[taunya1978]

That is cool. I would love that every time I did a good job. its nice to have people notice.

[taunya1978]

Keep an eye out on the freezer doors at copps. they had 2 coupon books to save $10 on Kashi Brands and Morning Star. (both are on sale too)

I was helping a woman who is disabled do her shopping and I took the Kashi one and ripped out a $2 coupon on a microwave thingy and bought a bottle of Sobe water for myself for dinner and it came to $3.15 ish. Not a bad deal! Seeing that one of those meals are over $4.80.

[bcgcoupons]

Just posted a new thread on this next week's Copp's flier - still under grocery stores forum.
