[ngo1331]

Went at 8AM today

(3) Wolfgang sauce $2 each ... (3) $1/1 insert + $1 ZVR ... $1 MM (No OYNO for me)
(3) Kikkoman 10 fl.oz. $2.19 each ... (3) $1/1 IP ... $0.19 each
(1) Herbal Essences $2.19 ... $1/1 P&G + $1 ZVR ... $0.19
(1) Set&Refresh $2.99 ... $1/1 P&G + $1 ZVR ... FREE
(1) Febreeze spray $2.99 ... $1/1 P&G + $1 ZVR ... FREE
(2) Starkist Seasation entree $1.99 clearance ... (2) $0.75/1 IP ... $0.49 each
(1) Kosher salt $1.19 ... $0.40/1 IP ... $0.39
OOP = $1.74 including tax
Will get $0.40 from Savingstar for Kosher salt

I did not receive the OYNO for Wolfgang sauce which makes me think that either HT Corp. or the Catalina company did something to this particular HT that stop the machine from printing OYNO Catalina.
Note that I use self-chekout, so I'll try the regular register next time.

I read that sometimes it takes time for the machine to print the OYNO, but usually how long do you have to wait? I don't want to stand there for like 10-15 minutes and wonder if it is going to print or not?

I've never waited more than about 1 minute after I'm done paying. But I have had to stand there while the cashier started ringing up the next person and then ask for the cat as it comes out. I usually tell them I'm expecting the cat so the next customer doesn't think I'm taking something that belongs to them.

[cpnsrgr8]

Did anyone else have a problelm using the Kraft "1.25/3 Q on jell-o pudding? I wasn't able to use it! The manager said because it was an internet Q, that it wouldn't double- Oh well, I still did ok; but, I really wanted some free jell-o!

[mamaandmore]

[ancorrie]

I bought 1 creamy vodka and 2 arrabbiata, it printed the $1.50 catalina.

[Amaqueen]

Now that DH is back to work (yippee!) and DD is settled in preschool I actually have some time for myself. I went shopping this am after dropping off DD and HT was super quiet.

1 big can of Muir Tomatoes: .50
1 Electrasol Tabs: 1.50

My total before e-vic, q's, etc: 78.86
Total OOP: 13.67

My $4 OYNO didn't print, so she gave me the $4 cash, making my actual OOP: 9.67!!

Not too shabby! I picked up a second e-vic card for my mom but she'll only be able to use it once this week, would it be totally unethical to use her card and go back for more while the stock is still there? The one big one I had issues with was the Whonu cookies, the shelf was completely cleared so I'm thinking we have a shelf clearer at the store and either the cashier didn't limit the q's or they self checked.

Fun anyway!!

Do you have more than one store? I have my card, as well as my parents, as they moved to an area with no HT. I will usually use mine at lunch, then maybe 1-2 times during SDs I'll swing by another HT and use their card. I tend to use them at different stores, and not daily.

A lot of people do this, it's all how you feel about it. I don't like to do it all the time, but I do occasionally - especially when I was buying Tony's Pizzas and found the cheese ones in stock. I never clear shelves, and only buy what I'm limited to.
