Weekend Update 3/28/09

Free Johnson's Buddies Bars - A Catalina Coupon for $3 off any 3 Johnson's baby products is still printing at Schnucks when you buy 3 Buddies Bars (as of Thursday 3/27). Remember, use this Catalina to purchase 3 more Buddies Bars and get another Catalina. There is no indication on the Catalina Coupon when this offer will stop printing. So until it stops - lots of free Buddies.

Coupon for a Free Kashi Entree - It looks like the offer for a free entree is over, but if you haven't received your coupon yet, you can track it on their web page.

I used my coupon yesterday. The entrees were $4.88 at Shop 'n Save and the coupon was good for up to $4.09, so it wasn't free. I've never received a "free" coupon that didn't cover the cost of the product. I'm going to check the prices at Schnucks and Dierbergs. I always knew we didn't have the most competitively priced grocery market it St Louis but...... I think I'll e-mail Kashi also.

Dierbergs Buy 1 Get 1 Meat Sale - I asked a Customer Service clerk and a cashier yesterday how this sale would ring up when you purchase several of the higher priced meats and several of the lower priced meats.

The Customer Service clerk's answer started with "I think ..... " When an answer starts with I think, I guess or I imagine, I have no confidence the person has any idea what they are talking about.

The cashier told me she really didn't know, and hadn't seen that situation to be able to give me a good answer. I would much rather hear that kind of answer. The cashier went on to tell me that the free items would be taken off at the end of the transaction when the cashier hit total. So it is likely if you purchased two of the more expensive packages and two of the less expensive packages you would be paying for both of the expensive ones.

If you are buying several packages at different price points, I would suggest you do separate transactions.
