Nice!!! Did the manager have to come over and override the transaction? I have had that happen twice now!~

Holy cow! I would have loved to see the reaction from that cashier! $101.02 down to 8.63!
Thats awesome!
You walked out of that store with all that for only $4.63 (including the $4 Catalina for next purchase). I am just in aweeeeeee.....
You must have used alot of Q's!!!!!

[saving$inmaine]

yes we had to get a manager to approve!! she believes it is anything over 50.00 needs to be approved, we have actually done this a few times we are after the best buy gift cards as our daughter wants an i pod for christmas

we bought a lot of magazines.....but in the end we will have paid 181.93 for all the food and mags plus get 300.00 in best buy gift cards, saved out 40.00 in gas and got 28 back to use at shaws (the i pod is 200.00 anyway) and we will have about 1000 in food (we have been donating tons of it)

[wildpookey]

Do you have to buy all this in one transaction?
I still can't believe how good you did.

69 packets of Kool Aid - did the cashier ring each one through??? LOL

[saving$inmaine]

i buy what i posted all in 1 transaction because it = 20 points
no i get all the same flavor each time to make it easy
we have donated over 200 packages so far

[cshore1213]

you sound just like us. My husband and I bought 155 of the All You Mags. He wants to get a new saw from Home Depot gift cards. One thing I have found is that you dont even need to buy the kool-aids. I did it on accident the first time and realized that each of the other items work for eachother. I have had my total up to $100 and paid 0 out of pocket.

[cshore1213]

what part of maine are you from? were in Portland

[wildpookey]

With all that Kool Aid, you might want to read alittle bit of this thread:

Wow that is awesome! I used two Kraft frees the other day and the cashier had a hard time with it! She entered the price of the koolaid for the coupon instead of the dressing and had to call over a manager to fix it. I was sweating as we waited for the manager because I was afraid she would say I couldn't use the koolade to get the free dressing. I can't imagine going in there with that many.

[wildpookey]

I wish I had the guts to go in there and buy that many koolaids so I could use up my Free Kraft Q's!

Welcome to Shaw's Supermarkets

The link above should explain in detail, but basically you earn a point for every $5 you spend on a Kraft product. The coupon machine should print out your point after you pay. (catalina is the term used for these coupons). When you get 20 points you can cash it in for a $25 gift card from the "gift card mall". I'm not sure what gift cards are available other than Shaws. You have to redeam them between 8/29/08 and 9/7/08

The cool thing is it is based on the pre-coupon amount and in some cases it seems to be looking at shelf price as opposed to sale price. So you can spend a lot less than $100 to earn your gift card.

[saving$inmaine]

i have noticed a few of the gist cards are best buy, ebay, home depot, i tunes, pizza hut, and lots of other places to eat

[Mommy Ingraham]

Old Navy, Gap, Bannana Republic, Motherhood Maternity, and or course the Mastercard and Visa

[momof2plustwins]

Wow that's an awesome deal. AND holy smokes cshore that's a lot of All You Mags. At least your hubby is helping you out! Now the question is where are you putting all the Free Krafts at? LOL.

[cshore1213]

we have been giving a lot to family and friends, and also dontating some to people we know need help. i can only eat so many hotdogs !!

[momof2plustwins]

We expect to see a creative cuisines using only kraft products thread soon. LOL.

[Mommy Ingraham]

There are a lot of food banks that are looking for donations. Good karma is always nice.
I know that they all have freezers and will take periashables that can be frozen such as the hotgogs. The York Food Pantry and the Westbrook Food Bank both were the recieptiants of a ton of Kool Aid and Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs!!!

On a second note, We just bought a chest freezer so I can start to really stockpile food!!!!

[stevesunrise]

Grey Poupon is part of the deal too. It's on sale for $2.99 this week and there is a $1 q for it on the Shaw's online site. You can make an easy snack (good for the crock pot) by melting currant jelly and Grey Poupon together and adding in 1-inch, slices of hot dogs. I usually use the cocktail franks. I believe it's 2 jars of currant jelly to every jar of mustard but you might want to adjust to your taste.

It's an extremely easy party recipe...all you need are some toothpicks.
