From the current Ad:
Save up to 30% off your future shopping order.
Use same Price Plus card from Sept 6-Setp 26th to qualify
Spend $300-599 get 10% off, 600-899 get 20%, 900+ get 30% off.
It seems like a lot but it if you do a LOT of couponing its reachable.

I'm at $206, mostly from taking advantage of the spend $40 get $10 back(3 times, and probably one more) and the Crest deal.(4 times, 8 more to go)
I still have 8 Osteo q's that I'll grab($6 off, $7.49 sale price) For $12 I'll get almost $60 towards certificate. I'll ebay them for the cost back.
Next week fantastik is on sale for $1.99, with .75 q that will be a nice item to boost total towards certificate.
A garage sale will easily get money back on a lot of sale items.
I feel pretty good I'll get to the 600 mark, but will need some huge sales the 3rd week.

My head is already spinning thinking of what damage I can do with my pile of coupons and 30% off my order.

My head always spins with these % of scenarios!

[crissy148]

are they counting the amount before coupons or after?

[stone1061]

It's after sale price but before coupons.
Example:
Osteo Bi-Flex: Regular $14.99, on sale for $7.49 with price plus card.
Coupon $6.00 off.
Out of pocket $1.49
$7.49 goes towards total.

Next week.
80 bottles of Fantastik $159.20, minus .75 coupons(doubled)=$39.20 out of pocket.
$159.20 towards % off coupon.(that's extreme and will involve 20 seperate transactions but it's my new hobby)

Aack! I went today and looked at my receipt when I got home. I am at $299.24! Now I need to go back & spend $.76 just to get the 10% off and I was not planning on going back there this week!

[davi-o]

I got up to 550ish tonight. Is it worth it to go back and spend another 50 over the next 3 days to get an additional 10 percent?

I guess that's up to you and your budget. I am close to my budget for the month, so if it were me I wouldn't.

I have not been able to go shopping for a few days and our budget is super tight this week. I'm trying to finish the shampoo deal, and hope that pushes me to the 20% certificate. I also have to buy a birthday cake this Saturday - Won't be home to bake and need to buy it. So we'll see.

[crissy148]

Now we can start imagining how we will use those % off coupons! I am thinking Halloween candy....

[stone1061]

I hit the $900 to get 30%!
A lot of it this week was Fleximin, Razors, Fantastik. If it wasn't for a lot of couponing, I would never have been close just by doing regular household shopping.
Planning my attack with the 30%. Going to clean up coupon binder to see what I can get super cheap, then load up on meats and dog food.
I know Carnation is on 'sale' for $4.99 and you get $2 back if you buy 3.

Wow, I can't believe I hit the $300 mark yesterday and got a 10%. Wasn't even thinking about it because I didn't think I would spend $300 in the timeframe but I forgot that it was pre-coupon which totally rocks!

[NJMom]

I used my 10% off last night. I was sad because the cashier applied it post-coupon so I lost $3.50. BUT as I was walking out of SR, I found a $5 oyno!!

[stone1061]

Back from my 30% shopping trip.
I had a cart full of coupon items(lysol, snuggle, ice tea mix,dog food, etc), my wife had the meats(whole chickens, filot mignon, chop meat), my step daughter had a cart full of Snapple, Water, and Soda.
Subtotal $449.92
After coupons $363.63
After 30% off (106.38) =$254.35

My coupon tendered total was $300.80, which is price plus discount plus MFR coupons.

Was very happy that I didn't go over board and get stuff just because it was 30%. Tried to stick to stuff we will actually use. Could have gotten more of some items but I know more deals will be around.

Can't wait for the FREE Turkey deal starting on the 18th.

This happened to me the other day too! It was all crumpled up, can't believe people don't even look!

[smarkind]

I cashed in my discount certificate/CRT yesterday and it was applied BEFORE coupons. I was really glad I decided to get my 10 free Marcals - just that alone netted me and extra buck (10*.99=9.90@.10=.99). Picked up a whole tenderloin (on sale, I think 4.99 a pound after sale but before discount). Mostly picked up coupon items (hard to stop once you start!). Carolina rice wasn't free after my .55 coupons but what the heck - gotta use those good coupons before they expire!

I also tried to get the spend $15 on selected products (I remember the Playtex gloves, tampons & Energizer batteries were included - had coupons for all I got) but my Catalina didn't print out. Glad I remembered - went to customer service and they gave me $5 after checking my receipt. My Shoprite is the best!
