Every Wednesday is double coupon day at Pick N Save (there are no other stores in our area that doubles coupons). I had my list done for the last day now, I was ready to go! I got to the store around 6:30 am (if you get there later in the day everything is cleaned off the shelves). There was a deal this week if you spend $25 in Proctor and Gamble selected products you get $5 off of your next order-a catalina should have printed with your receipt, then I was going to use that $5 toward my next transaction. I had 5 transactions planned out. NONE of them worked out the way I thought they would.
First, this store is so inconsistent with the way stuff rings up. You can only double 5 coupons and you have to spend $25 to get them doubled, that is $25 before all of the sales...example, the Iams cat food was on sale for $7.99, but when it is scanned through it rings up as the original price of $8.99. Then you give them your store card, that takes the sale off, they scan your coupons, etc...well some of their "sale" prices ring up as that price, not the original price...so I added everything up wrong at home because I didn't know the sale price would ring up.
Second, the $5 catalina was not printing, so thankfully my cashier was friendly and very patient! She would just hand me a $5 bill after I spent my $25 worth of P&G products.
Anyways, here is the list of everything I got I did pretty good but didn't get a lot of food items-we didn't really need much but I did put some stuff back because of the mess with the transactions I had more coupons and they would not be doubled, oh well I learned...
2 gallons milk
2 daisy sour cream
2 bags Iams cat food
2 charmin 9 roll toilet paper
3 pringles minis
6 febreeze air effects
6 febreeze candles
1 tide
5 smart water liters
1 hunts ketchup
a dozen eggs
1 mr. clean spray cleaner
1 package oscar meyer hot dogs
3 donuts
total coupons and sales tendered: $94.61
total oop: $28.72
making this a total savings of: 76.7% !!!
