Our girlies have a HUGE combined birthday party coming up next month and if these work, it'll be a huge help. If everyone who says they're coming actually shows up, we could have upwards of 50 people there. That's a whole lotta drinks I'm gonna need!

They did not scan for me but the manager did an override.

I scored big-time on lunchmeat Wednesday!

Store # 1:
3 pkgs 8-oz HT Mesquite turkey breast @ $2.99 = $8.97
- (3) $1.50 yellow markdown tags
- (2) WT q’s for $2 off deli purchase
= $3.53 MM

I also got:
2 6-pks Deer Park water @ $1 ea (used 1 TP q for $1 off any purchase of ice or water) = FREE
2 boxes Magnum ice cream bars @ $3.99 ea, minus (2) $1.50/1 q’s = $1.98 for 2
2 pkgs Cabot 8-oz cheese @ $2.95 for 2 (used $1/2 Q) = $0.95 for 2
1 Eat Think Smile bar = FREE with coupon from the pharmacy
1 bar Neutrogena soap @ $2.99 = FREE after $1.50/1 Q

Non-Q item: 1 case Busch Light @ $13.99 + $0.98 tax = $14.97

OOP = $14.48 (that was less than the cost of the beer)

I got a $2 OYNO Cat for the Magnum bars
.…and….I’ll submit the receipt to get a $4 MIR on the deli-meat (get $4 wyb $8)


Store # 2:
Wanchai Ferry Kung Pao @ $4.22, minus $1.60 q minus $1.50 ZVR = $0.48 MM
2 pkgs Cabot 8-oz cheese @ $2.95 for 2 (used $1/2 Q) = $0.95 for 2

4 pkgs Butterball Sub-Starters 15-oz @ $6.99 ea = $27.96
- (4) $4 yellow markdown tags
- (4) $1/1 Q’s (3 peelies and 1 blinkie)
- (1) WT Q for $2 off a deli purchase
=$0.04 MM on 4 packages

OOP: $0.69
I’ll also get $1.50 back from S*

I realized after the 2nd transaction that I shouldn’t have used the $2 WT Q in conjunction with the $1/1 Q’s for the Sub-Starters. Nothing beeped, but on the drive home I realized I’d submitted the extra Q by mistake.



TOTAL for the 2 trips: OOP $15.17 (includes $14.97 for beer)

PLUS $2 oyno Cat for Magnum, a pending $4 deli MIR, and $1.50 from S* for Wanchai-Ferry.

Thank you to everyone who answered my question about the Common Kindness soda q's. I went this morning and was able to use five of them on soda for the girlies' birthday party. I didn't find any 12-packs of Pepsi Next but that's okay - we're doing good with the five packs I bought this morning.

My HT was deserted this morning...maybe three of us in the store? Not a whole lot of OOS that I could see, but good amounts of stuff running low. The Met-Rx bars were nearly gone but I managed to snag a whole bunch for my two girls who swim (they're perfect as between-race snacks). The M&M YoCrunch yogurts were nearly out. I goofed on the Neosporin, grabbing one that was misplaced; instead of the $5.99 I was expecting to pay, I apparently bought a tube that was $8.99. I also got a surprise $3.00 OYNO for buying four Cocoa Pebbles - wasn't expecting it but hey, free money!

I did notice that they had the inventory manager working the front end today...maybe all the other white shirts ran away because it's SD's?

Day 2

2x Hormel chili - $1.50 + $1/2 = $.50 ea.
4x V8 Splash - $2.50 + 2x $1/2 = $1.50 ea.
4x Grande tortilla chips - $2.50 + BOGO RC = $1.25 ea.
2x logs o' ground beef - $7.87 + 2x $1.50/1 (peelies from the Grande chips) = $4.87 ea.
1x Jello Temptations - $2.50 + $1.10/1 = $.30
10x YoCrunch yogurt - $.70 + 2x $1/4 = $.30 ea.
2x YoCrunch multi-packs - $2.27 + $1/2 = $1.27 ea.
1x Neosporin Max - $8.99 + $2/1 = $4.99
10x Met-Rx bars - $2.29 + $1/2 + 2x $1.60/4 = $1.45 ea.
5x Pepsi products - $6.39 + 5x $1/1 = $.56 ea.
4x Cocoa Pebbles - $2.00 + 2x $1/2 = $1.00 ea.

Total: $138.47
Used: $2.00 OYNO
Evics / q's / ZVRs: $82.19
OOP: $54.28
CATS: $3.00 OYNO

Update: Upon putting away my haul, I noticed that one of my Met-Rx bars is AWOL. I had these sitting on top of the soda in my cart and I even asked the cashier if he'd gotten all of the into my bags. I double-checked the car to make sure that it didn't fall out somewhere but no such luck. CS was very polite, so now I have to go back to HT tonight to claim my missing bar. /sigh

Made a trip last night:

-1 Gain Detergent
-1 Chinet Plates
-2 Kikkoman Teriyaki
-1 Weber Seasoning
-4 Various Klondikes
-2 Magnum Mini's
-2 California Pizza
-2 Cabot Cheese
-2 Ball Park Hot Dogs
-$0.12 worth of Mustard Greens (for the lizards)

Total OOP: $25.85
Coupons Tendered: $62.59
VIC: $31.50

Also received 3 CATS:
$2 off next - from Magnum
$1 off next - from California Pizza
$1 off next - from Kikkoman

I've been dying for Klondikes for some time now, especially ChocoTaco's. Figured since they were on sale and I had a $1/2 that I'd just get them, even though only 2 count for EVIC. Totally worth it in my mind

Thank you to everyone who answered my question about the Common Kindness soda q's. I went this morning and was able to use five of them on soda for the girlies' birthday party.

I know that Common Kindness allows you to print multiple copies of Qs, but they also have this statement on their site:

"Anti-fraud notice: Fraudulent use of CommonKindness coupons can be traced to the violator who will be prosecuted. CommonKindness allows one (1) print per coupon within the time period that the advertiser has selected."

I printed several copies of a few of their Qs but after seeing the above statement, I will now only use one of each Q. HTH

[abbylivismom]

went last night with dh (we have 2 cards) total saved $140, total oop spent $46, Both cards had Sizzling Salad kits ZVR loaded (neither came off) so I'm going to let them know today and hopefully get a refund. So, that'd be $148 saved and $38 oop. Pretty good
$2 bic hybrid razor coupon didnt double, a few q's didnt double fully but were adjusted by the computer ended up getting those items free (no overage).

It is very rare that a coupon at HT will ever double to get you overage - they have their system set up to only double up to the value of the item, unlike some other chains.

Wowza ~ you'd think they'd at least let you use 2 like all the other coupon sites. Stingy

I was only able to print one time, and then it said print limit reached. I don't see how you could print multiples, unless you used different computers and accounts.

When you hit print a box pops up - you can enter the number of prints in that box where it says "number of prints" - its not like a bricks coupon.

There were multiple coupons on the site for different varieties of soda (Mountain Dew, Diet Mountain Dew, Pepsi Next, Pepsi Max), and my fiance also has a CK account...voila! Two copies of each q obtained LEGALLY, thanks.

I didnt think so but I have seen people post that they're getting "money makers" so they must be getting the overage, unless they dont realize that the computer adjusts it to free. Whatever, Free is good for me!

[srhill]

I made a small trip today. I got a raincheck for the Chinet plates.

2 kraft sizzling salad kits
1 Lea & perrins worch sauce
2 loaves pillsbury crusty french bread

OOP 3.83

The MMs you usually see on this forum are due to a combination of paper q's, ZVRs and SavingStar - in that case overrage is possible - but not normally if you just have a paper q. There have been some glitches here and there where a paper q does double over the value of the item, but they are very rare. One that comes to mind was the Margaret Holmes q's a while back.

Moggy is right, the majority of MM scenarios are a result of paper Qs, ZVRs and SavingsStar & you will very rarely get overage from only a paper coupon.

For example, this week people have been buying the Wanchai Ferry Kung Pao chicken frozen bag meal that are priced at $4.22. Use a paper $1.50 Q that doubles to $3 & the $1.50 ZVR, so it's a 28cents MM. AND then after the purchase, some will get Savings Star credit of $1.50, so it ends up being a $1.78 MM.

Another MM is the Met-Rx Bars by using a $2/2 paper Q and $2/2 ZVR. It works like this: Buy 2 Met-Rx bars @ $2.29 each, total $4.58 before coupons. Use the $2/2 paper Q, and it doubles to take off $4. THEN the $2 ZVR will come off as well, making it a $1.42MM. HTH!

My 6/21 trip...OOS on SB milk, Dairy guy said he had a ton on order to be delivered Fri morning.

1 Kings Hawaiian mini subs 59cents
2 Motts for Tots $2.38
1 J Link Beef Jerky (used $2 tp r/c in train) 49cents
2 Kraft BBQ sauce FREE
1 Country Time Lemonade 15cents
2 Ritz Crackerfuls $1.98
1 Propel Zero $1
1 Mio 50cents
2 Plum Tots 58cents
1 Mussels BOGO (used $1 Seafood WT) 49cents
1 lb ground beef (used $1 meat WT) $1.11
1.74lbs bananas $1.20
HT string cheese (used $1.50 cheese WT) 37cents
4 Ballpark bun length hotdogs $1.98
3 Jello Temptations (my store doesn't limit IPs to 2, so this is definitely YMMV) 90cents
Also used $2 Magnum cat

OOP = $12.46, r/c $2 Cat for Jello

I've never been diligent enough to keep track of my overall spending/savings for a SD promo, but I thought I'd attempt to give it a try this round

Running totals for SDs
2 transactions
retail cost $170.29
OOP $13.63
(92% savings)

[Moggy]

I think this was my best SD trip ever.

I actually went into the negative and had to grab a thing of Mentos gum to bring the total back up - my OOP was less than the tax for the order.

1 Tiny T-Bonz dog treats $2.50 - $1/1 = .50
2 Garland BBQ Sauce $2.49 ea - $1/1 q and - BOGO ZVR and - get one FREE ZVR = $2 MM
2 Sizzling Salads $3.99 ea - $1/1 peelies and BOGB ZVR and - get one FREE ZVR = $4.00 MM
Chinet Plates $1.89 - .55/1 = .79
1 Airwick Flip $2.50 - $1/1 = .50
2 Finn Crisp crackers $4.29/2 - $1/1 TP = .29/2
2 Veet Face Wax Strips $3.49 ea - $2/1 IPs = 2 FREE
3 Alouette Spreadable cheese $2.49 ea - $1/1 = .49 ea
2 Klondike Choco Taco $1.97 ea - $1/1 IPs = 2 FREE
2 Simply Mashed Potatoes $3.29/2 - $1/2 = $1.29/2
40 ct Advil $4.49 - $2/2 q = .49
2 6packs Hansen's Natural Sodas $2.99 ea - $1/1 IPs = .99 ea
Mentos Gum $1.50 no q

Used $2 OYNO from yesterday's Magnum deal and I can confirm that it did double as someone else stated earlier. Both myself and the cashier watched it double and were shocked! Nice surprise.


TOOP .74 (tax alone was .98 )

Total Coupons Tendered $85.25

[banjo&inky]

Sparklecat, the Bells Fork store is sorta off my beaten path, but have been there a few times. I usually do most of my shopping west of 14th St. Btw, I was born and raised in Washington (don'tcha just hate it when out of town folks call it "Little Washington"), but married a Greenville boy.
Drifting back to the original purpose of this thread I see that no one else has mentioned finding the Snapware Glasslock products on clearance during this event! (or maybe I missed it while quicking scanning through the lists) These have the lids like regular Snapware but the bowls are heavy glass. If anyone still has the $2 off 1 Snapware coupon you can really rack up. I found the 3.2 cup size on clearance for $4.29, original price was $12.99. So it was only 29 cents after doubling! That's my kind of savings! They had bigger sizes with comparable savings, but I went for the cheapest possible.

[MoMmy_Of3]

I was born and raised in Washington too! (moved my senior year in HS) I know what you mean...its just plain Washington, not "Little Washington" Lol

How much are the cheapest kind Hawaiian rolls?

I cannot believe I am missing all the fun as my Hickory Harris Teeter turned into Lowes Food
