I didn't get a chance to go today, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow. Can I just say how refreshing it is to see pics of items other than Mahatma Rice and mustard?

[aidan&logansmommy]

Can someone tell me where they are finding the Mission tortilla chips? I have checked two stores (in the chips aisle and on endcaps) and I still haven't found them! Are they located somewhere else in the store? Thanks!

um..our store has them on an endcap....you may want to ask and see if they carry them at your store or if they may be out of stock...sorry I couldn't help more!

[aidan&logansmommy]

Duracell batteries (I believe it was 4 AA only, maybe AAA too) had a shlef tag that said 1.99! These would be free with the $1/1 from P & G Year of Savings. I have checked 2 stores, but they are out of stock so far! Hope I find some.

Buy some exedrine back and body while you're there!

[sar1]

My trip today - second overall:

1 Cheerios (free)
1 Dawn Direct Foam
1 Dawn Pure Essentials (yeah - I dug up another coupon!)
3 Chinet plates (yeah - they re-stocked!!)
1 Strawberry Mini Wheats (free)
2 Cake Mate Candles (free)
1 Marble Mix-ins
2 Kotex liners
1 Edge trial size (free)
1 Satin Care Shave Gel (free)
2 Playtex Gentle Glide trial size (free)
2 Pert Plus (free)
1 Playtex disposable gloves (free)
2 Ben & Jerry's
2 YoBaby yogurt
1 kid's Band-Aids
A few regular grocery items

Saved $58.06

Coupon notes:
* The Cake Mate would not scan, and I wasn't sure if the candles counted as "cake decorations", but I checked a lot of the items in that area (sprinkles, etc) and none of the upc's matched the coupon barcode so I think nearly anything would have beeped.
* I used the $1/1 any Gillette from the P&G rebate book to get the Satin Care shave gel free (on sale for $1.99). It beeped and I think the barcode on the coupon is way too general and relies on the cashier to verify the correct item.
* I'm pretty certain I didn't get any overage this time.

I am really NOT happy with HT right now. My B2G3 free ham did not ring up right. I have a migraine and I can't figure out HOW they overcharged me, just that they DID.
They were still out of a lot of things and I'm not going back, except to get back my money refunded.

Here are my HT Doubles Deals from today's trip:

No; the Qs for the Edy's I used were only good for either Edy's Dibs or Edy's Fruit Bars. I wish I had the Whole Fruit Q. LOL!

[thenewmrsrue]

My 2nd trip was much better as far as savings, but much more of a headache...But anyways here's my 2nd trip:

Hefty Easy Grip Cups
(2) Chex Mix
Kashi TLC crackers
(2) Lysol Toilet bowl cleaner
(2) Easy Mac bowls
Lawry's Marinade
Hunt's ketchup
(2) kashi frozen waffles
Farm Rich mozzarella bites
(2) Aunt Jemima breakfast trays
Land O Lakes spreadable butter w/ olive oil
(2) Oscar Myers hot dogs

Total: $67.67
VIC Savings: $11.99
Coupons Savings: $45.05

Total OOP: $10.63

As I was waiting at customer service to get my rainchecks, I realized that I had not given my q for 55 cents off wyb 2 Easy macs, so I returned that and rebought them using the q, so my OOP was $9.52.

Then when I got home I realized I had no used my Oscar myer $1 off/2 q, so I'll have to go back and return them and rebuy them, so my OOP will be more like $7.xx!!

AND THEN....when I sat down to write this post, I realized that the Hefty cups didn't ring up as 2/$4...Do you think that's because I only got one?! I would've gotten more, but I found the only one they had left (hidden behind something else). If not, do you think I can get them to refund the entire price as per their new policy? If that's the case, then my OOP would be around $5!!!!!!!!!!

I was told that Mission doesn't send out many....that's why we can't find them.

[thenewmrsrue]

UPDATE:

Went back to HT and got the $2 back from the OM hot dogs, and they refunded the entire amount of the cups! So officially, my total OOP for my 2nd trip was $4.83!!!

oh yeah on the thing about making sure you use your card once a day it happened to a guy in front of me the cashier told him that his card was already used for the day and he could not use it again. wow. he was mad he had a lot of stuff.

[HarleyShpgMom]

Wow! HT calculates your last shopping purchase down to the minute. When I went today, nothing doubled for me when the cashier began to scan the Qs. She noticed it first and told me none of my Qs were doubling.

Would you believe I was 10 minutes away from the 24 hour trip I had completed the day before? Did I wait? You better believe it (plus no one was in the line). I passed the time away shopping a little more.

Here's what I got:

Total before Qs: $66.16
OOP: $2.87
