Since I didn't see this thread started, I'll kick it off. Post your triples trips here. Lets see those deals!

[LadySiren]

Here's my first trip. Pretty busy this morning, no signs of armed robbers unless you count all the couponers, some OOS (Jello Temptations, Morton's Season-All, Milkbites) already at 7:00 AM, boooooo! I did pretty well for not having a clear idea of what I wanted to go for first.

I think the cashier had trouble with one of my IPs so instead of putting it in at the right price (i.e. - under $1), she manually entered it as a $1 q. Another of my q's didn't triple and I bought some non-q and non-triple items since we needed them (and I had to buy 6x Shamrock Farms milks as the husband would whine if he didn't get one when the kids did). As a result, my total is a bit higher than I was hoping for but eh, I'm not gonna quibble over a couple of bucks since I'm really happy with my deals today.

Warning:

rant incoming

/rant on: the woman two people ahead of me at the register had two VIC cards with her and she was dithering over which items should go in which order. Naturally, the line was building up behind her...so the cashier rang up her first order then made her go to the back of the line. I really, REALLY dislike people who skirt the rules so this made my mean, petty little heart happy.

Sorry if that upsets some of you out there, but c'mon - you're allowed ONE VIC card per household. If you want to use two VIC cards, fine but at least don't flaunt it in the faces of those of us playing fair. Walk yer happy butt out to your car with order #1 and come back and pay for order #2 separately. Harrumph. /rant off

[CillaAnn]

where can i find the Deans Heat and Eat IP?

[eas0720]

My husband is doing day 1 since I'm about to go out of town for a final interview... I don't know if I'm more nervous about getting the job, or my husband grocery shopping... with a 2 yearold... with coupons... during a triples event! ACK! Hopefully he does as well as you ladies!

[Randssmom]

Ladies, I went to my usual, awesome cashier, who I chat with while I'm being rung up. I haven't scrunitized my receipt completely yet, and I only had one eye on the register...I don't think that the Season-All or the Meow Mix coupons tripled! Boo! They had the new "mysterious" bar codes. I need to do some more research/recon to see if those were the only ones, but I believe those were two culprit of my OOP being higher than expected. Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

[heartmomo]

Paid 13.71 OOP ( this is 2 different cards / households ) 9.00 for my transaction & 4.71 for my sisters (;

She hates going early in the morning but it's worth it because she was about to get oatmeal for cheap !! ^_^

rant on: the woman two people ahead of me at the register had two VIC cards with her and she was dithering over which items should go in which order.

Sorry if that upsets some of you out there, but c'mon - you're allowed ONE VIC card per household. If you want to use two VIC cards, fine but at least don't flaunt it in the faces of those of us playing fair. Walk yer happy butt out to your car with order #1 and come back and pay for order #2 separately. Harrumph.

NO apology necessary!

IMHO..........Rant all you like about using TWO cards at same time, cause I agree it should not be allowed!!
My store is AWESOME on most everything, but NO WAY they would allow this!! If you want to get one order, take it outside, then come back in......that is up to you. I have occasionally shopped for my elderly, widowed neighbor in the past, and CS knows me (and might even allow me to do his right after my transaction). BUT, I get my order, Take it out to the car, come back in and get his. I don't think my store would allow anyone to use 2 different cards for 2 different transactions at the register.
They would tell you "go ahead, call customer service.......it against the store policy & it's not FAIR to other customers".

Mine didn't either! The Meow Mix q has the new bar code and just took .75 off. I had the cashier look at it, and it says do not double at the top. Bummer, I needed cat food, my stockpile is really low

Same - Meow Mix coupon isn't tripling.

Couldn't find the Wasa Light & Crispy either.

That helps explain why my total was higher than expected too. I'm going to return them then. Hate the new bar codes that don't let us know if they'll double or not. Our HT is awesome about doubling/tripling as long as it has a 5 regardless of whether or not it says "Do not ..." so I don't always pay attention but I was questioning why it was higher and discovered she had missed scanning my 90 cent Jell-o cpn. (Which CS just tripled plus gave me 16 cents tax so I paid $2.50 for the Jell-o and they gave me cash back of $2.86!) Didn't realize the Season-All Morton cpn didn't double. Thanks for the heads up!

My card:

1 Trix
3 Raisinets (.75/1 TP found at Wawa)
6 Ortega Taco Seasoning
6 Xtra Detergent
3 Carefree Pads
3 PF Bread (.94 each with .40/1 Q)

2 Gold Peak Tea
1 375 ct QTips
2 Yoplait with Granola
(and 3 other things I cannot remember atm)

SIL Card (different HT)

1 Trix

3 Gain Dish Soap
4 Ortega Taco Seasoning
4 Dove Singles

If you have a Farm Fresh in your area they have the Smart Balance Spreadable Butter on sale for $1! It's free with the $1/1 Q that was in a recent insert, and also everytime I buy one I get a CAT for either .50/1 or $1/2 which equals more free butter since they double! I've gotten 8 so far!

I got to the first HT at 7:15am, Jello Temptations, Mardi Gras, Dole Crisps, Gain Dish Soap, French Fried Onions all OOS. I took the last Tyson too. I told my borther to order some more. I'm sure the Mardi Gras will be OOS the entire week, they were last time which is why I still have a ton of Qs for them. My goodness though, I just cannot get there any earlier with 2 small kids, even getting there when i did I have to get up at 5:30am!
