While this is a little more than I'd like to be spending weekly, it included 19 packages of butcher-quality meat at excellent prices. We'll be able to live off that meat "stockpile" for the coming weeks when sales are sparse.
What were your best deals this week?
How do you manage to get all of the VG deals? Is there a certain day that is better to go? I've been there I think 3 times and they've never had the Hormel pepperoni or Frito Lays. And how do you know the cashier will triple the coupons that say do not double? I tried it with one coupon and the first time she wouldn't do it. The second time the cashier did. It's so hit or miss, I don't want to take the chance with a bunch of items. It gets a bit frustrating sometimes. But I'm headed there this morning, so we'll see!
ReplyDeleteWow! Jolyn, you did great.
ReplyDeleteI have to make myself check out VG's one of the time they're having triple coupons. It's a little bit of a drive from my house which is why I haven't already. But after seeing what you got, I want to try to =)
Linda,
ReplyDeleteIt can be hit-or-miss with some of the triples deals. We've run into 2 cashiers at the Shelby store that refuse them. When that happens, we just remove those items from our order and avoid that cashier the next time. I've noticed, too, that a printable coupon with "do not double" seems to red flag them to search your coupon stack for others (like the MultiGrain Cheerios this week).
Half the time, they've been out of the pepperoni or Frito Lays (that deal died on Sunday). But this is the result of multiple trips. I think we went Tues, Wed and Thurs mornings.
We found GREAT meat markdowns each time! They've got such a great meat department that even their markdowns show no signs of quality loss and still have 2 or more days before expiration!
I hope you have better luck this morning!
Kristie,
ReplyDeleteThe triples are good through July 19 - so this will be the last week! :)
could you by chance explain the community share points? do we give our receipts to any church a participating one do we have to sign up for something? thanks
